[Bug 257470] New: YaST2 bootloader proposal wrong when installing from USB disk
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257470 Summary: YaST2 bootloader proposal wrong when installing from USB disk Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: odabrunz@novell.com ReportedBy: bwalle@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I installed openSUSE 10.2 on a VIA Embedded Board on a PATA hard disk (/dev/hda). As I have no CD drive attached, I used a USB disk for installation as described in http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_from_USB_drive. I did not change the boot proposal, and I was not able to boot after installation after I removed the USB disk and changed the BIOS boot order.

But since it runs Microsoft Windows, it should be 100 % PC-compatible. :) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

From the logs I can see that yast2-storage originally has the mount points from the USB-Stick, including the "/" mount point. yast2-bootloader now takes this information and makes a proposal that installs the bootloader to the USB-Stick.
Later, when the correct mount points are assigned to the target drive, yast2-bootloader does not change the location for the bootloader installation. Most probably bug #247852 is triggered here. That bug is fixed with yast2-bootloader-2.13.89.rpm that has been submitted to SLES10 SP1. Please retest with SLES10 SP1 when the package has been accepted. Alternatively, wait for the fix to appear in openSUSE 10.3. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
