For the first time ever this alpha killed my Windows partition. :-( I had broken grub configurations before, but never before the actual partitions were damaged. Details on my setup: x86_64 /dev/hda1: Windows XP (ntfs): dmesg output when trying to mount: NTFS-fs warning (device hda1): is_boot_sector_ntfs(): Invalid boot sector checksum. NTFS-fs error (device hda1): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is invalid. NTFS-fs error (device hda1): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover. NTFS-fs error (device hda1): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume. /dev/hda2: swap /dev/hda5: openSUSE 11.1 Alpha1/Factory (still trying to get it to boot again with the SLED grub) /dev/hda7: SLED 10 (was able to recover that one, using the grub from SLED) -- 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.

So I close bug and enjoy testing new alpha. (In reply to comment #9 from Joachim Werner) this is because instead of hd0 for mdr is used hd0,0 for first part of first partition which is windows in your case. This also should not happen now. -- 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.

In alpha 2 (x86_64) only a new installation works (as I've tested). An update of alpha 1 to alpha 2 will cause a damage of the first filesystem on the first HDD just as an alpha 1 installation. -- 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.
