The installation went through, but the disklabel has neither been converted to MSDOS nor did it result in a bootable GPT layout.

The report does not indicate why the system does not boot. Please provide YaST logs, see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_YaST. -- 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.

But you can easily reproduce this on your own, by trying to install on a system with an existing GPT partition table. -- 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.

It could have worked with a GPT with a synced MBR. So far YaST (parted) simply keeps the existing GPT since changing it either causes systems to stop booting or violates specifications or both. I can only assume you started with a partition table not supported by your BIOS. In that case we assume the user knows what he/she is doing. But without logs it is all guesswork. -- 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.
