I had windows XP preload and 10.2 on 3 extended partitions (swap,/, and /home). Booted fine to either. 10.3 beta1 installed OK on top. Beta2 installed OK on top. Beta 3 installed OK on top, but windows boot was then broken. I went to boot disk and selected Repair Installed System. Boot loader would not reload. Kept saying Partitioning prevents bootloader install (using Grub). The only way I could fix this was to delete Linux partitions and do fresh install and then restore my existing. The Yast Logs did not show anything about why the partitioning was wrong, which I suspect it is not. This is the fdisk of the drive.

Also could not then do repair with 10.2 or 10.3 beta1 or 2 same message with them even though the clean install works. Something in beta 3 (and possibly beta 1&2) prevents fixing boot loading. -- 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.
