Despite the general news about the new openSUSE 12.1 using grub2, it is not available during the installion process.
We don't have yet grub2 / efi available in yast2. For those who know how, grub2 is available but all configuration need to be done by hand. I would not drive you on a wrong way, but it seems elilo/efi would be better supported, but I can't promise without having tested it personally. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

One could expect, like I did, grub being generally available as uefi based boards are common for at least a year or so. - so, after alle maybe not such a big issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
