[Bug 577108] New: Cannot disable GRUB MBR option
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577108 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577108#c0 Summary: Cannot disable GRUB MBR option Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mario_bz@mgtech.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.2 Firefox/3.6 I was not able to select "disable" for the GRUB MBR option. It stayed enabled. Once the install was complete it modified the MBR and I had to reset it. I do not use GRUB legacy, I use Grub2 which is far superior to Grub. I installed /boot into the root partition which is XFS. This works fine with Grub2 and all I normally do is copy the grub menu.lst entry to grub2. But during the install 11.3 forced the MBR to point to a partition which contained grub legacy. We should be able to allow an install of grub into root but not actually activate it. In 11.2, I was able to simply select "disable" for grub and all was fine.
