[Bug 326579] New: grub installation into mbr of second disk impossible
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=326579 Summary: grub installation into mbr of second disk impossible Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: odabrunz@novell.com ReportedBy: andreas_graf@csgraf.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: agraf@novell.com Found By: Customer During installation on the second disk, grub cannot be forced to be installed into the mbr of the second disk, only into any usable partition of any disk, and into the mbr of the first disk. A portable test installation on a portable usb or firewire disk is a normal behavior in a development and testing environment. This disk should be independently bootable. Modern bios and efi allows booting from a second disk. Suggestion: add the mbr of any available disk into the list of manually selectable bootloader locations. -- 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 when you disconnect your usb or firewire disk, some upgrades can have problem (due to supporting other bootloaders, which need rewrite every change in configuration). So if you want write to MBR of this disk, fill feature request for tool which create this installation or use directly grub. -- 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.
