The GUI is frozen (mouse works but it is not continuing or accepting Abort clicks even though the button toggles). I'll need to find a spare disk but will get the info this weekend. Peter (Czanik), can you try this on an x86 box too, so we can compare notes? -- 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.

I think the warning should be more verbose than that. I got no warning at all with the stock beta3 DVD - the Ubuntu/Debian warning is some 15 line dialog box ("GRUB is known to hang when installing to an XFS partition, blah blah, you should really consider using a different filesystem such as ext3 blah blah, do you really want to continue? YES/NO") which I think explains the situation quite comprehensively and gives the user some insight into why they should not do it. Can I get a confirm that this will be the case on 11.1.x? -- 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.
