On console 1, an error is reported: sh: line 1: 29544 Done cat /etc/grub.conf 29544 Segmentation fault (core dumped) | /usr/sbin/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --batch > /var/log/YaST2/y2log_bootloader 2>&1 Unfortunately, /var/log/YaST2/y2log_bootloader has a 0 byte length, so it's no point in attaching it. The log file created during the installation, /var/log/YaST2/y2log-1, only shows that the bootloader installation failed and gives no additional information. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sorry! All I can say, that despite the error, grub was installed correctly the first time. Gnome/KDE does not matter (I tried both). When installation seemed to end, and this error about grub appeared, I just ignored it, and after restart I get perfectly operational grub. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Unfortunately, there's no package available with the debug info for grub. Grub does install correctly but, as can be seen from the output, it segfaults when quitting. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've already attached the requested files and can take over with any other requests quite easily. It's on my laptop and, actually more stable than the 10.1 and 10.3 it's replaced. Now I don't get hard locks when going onto battery. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
