http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551703 Summary: Installer does not identify/set up the Bootloader with other previously installed Linux distros Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: smaug42@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090730 SUSE/3.5.2-2.1 Firefox/3.5.2 The openSUSE 11.2 installer does not identify previously installed Linux distributions, and they are not set up in the Grub boot menu. Do clean install of Ubuntu 9.10, accepting all defaults and installing on the first partition. No special setup or options set. Then install 11.2, accepting all defaults with no special tweaking. It offers to install on the next available partition, but it does not find the Ubuntu 9.10 install on the first partition at all. Reverse the install order, installing 11.2 first, and then Ubuntu 9.10, Ubuntu will find and set up openSUSE 11.2 in the Ubuntu version of the Grub boot menu. Both root partitions are ext4 (if that has any relevance, I don't know). I also tried changing Grub to the MBR (clickable link/option in the openSUSE installer) and then re-running the scan to set up Grub.. still nothing, only 11.2 is available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a Linux distro other than openSUSE (eg Ubuntu 9.10) 2. Install openSUSE 11.2 on a second partition 3. Bootloader configuration cannot autodetect/find the other Linux distro Actual Results: openSUSE 11.2 is installed and boots OK, but Grub is not set up with options to boot other installed Linux distros. Expected Results: The openSUSE 11.2 installer should detect and configure the Grub menu with all OSes present on the computer at installation time. -- 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.
