Unfortunately changes by the user in the bootloader location are not detected and the code that re-installs the bootloader code is not executed. The workaround is to change the bootloader location, then go to "Other" -> "Write bootloader boot code to disk". -- 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.
