[Bug 216072] New: yast2 bootloader configuration not working properly
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216072 Summary: yast2 bootloader configuration not working properly Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: asklein@wpax13.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: asvetter@cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de I have no YaST logs because of but 216070, so I will describe the problem. Machine is an IBM R50p internal hdd + USB hdd. I tried a new installation. As always as bootloader location /dev/sda (internal hdd was chosen). I always change this to /dev/sdb (USB hdd), but this time, the menu did not offer /dev/sdb as boot loader location (only /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 was possible). I was also not pssible the change the order of the disks (it complained about no bootloader location selected, even if it was selected or configured in the edit files dialog). I always used (hd1) /dev/sda (hd0) /dev/sdb This chenges were only possible by editing the configuration files (/boot/grub/menu.list, /etc/grub.conf and device.map). This is not a big problem for me, because I can edit the files by hand, but up to 10.2 alpha5 the yast module worked just fine. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

You currently have to manually edit the device.map file and then you should be able to select as you wish. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

For 10.2 we had to drop the device map expert editor. You need to use the generic editor in yast2-bootloader for bootloader files instead, and edit the device.map file manually there. For 10.3 and SLES10 SP1, we will see what we can do about this. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
