I have: openSUSE 12.3 in /dev/sda1 openSUSE 13.1 in /dev/sda2 Swap in /dev/sda3 Home in /dev/sda4 (And during the installation there appeared FAT32 /dev/sda5.) When I purchased a 2TB disc, I enabled EFI in the BIOS (Intel DG45FC), then installed 12.3, left bootloader options in defaults, only checked in the "Install to MBR" options. Now I was installing openSUSE 13.1 and left bootloader installation in default values. The result: openSUSE 12.3 was booted after installation instead of openSUSE 13.1. Then I tried BIOS boot menu, selected "opensuse". Display went black for a moment, then returned to BIOS, and top part of the screen was corrupted. Then I started to play with boot flags in parted. When I unchecked boot flag and legacy boot flag for openSUSE 12.3, I got either the screen corruption described above or "No OS installed" error in the BIOS. It seems that bootloader installation does not touch the boot flags. The fact, that "YaST2 bootloader" in the live (at lease GNOME) DVD boot fails to work correctly makes fixing of the bootloader even worse. -- 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.
