Leap 15 beta, having trouble with writing MBR, new installation does not boot...
No problems with that here. Check for a BIOS setting that protects the MBR. Also check whether your disk uses GPT partitioning. You might not be able to boot from the MBR with GPT, unless you have created a BIOS BOOT partition. And a general note: I've been testing Leap 15.0 with EUFI and with legacy booting. Today I tried a clean install in a freshly created VM (under KVM). The partitioner wanted to use GPT partitioning. When it did that, it also setup a BIOS BOOT partition, and installing to boot from MBR was fine. I tried a second time. This time, I used CTRL-ALT-F2 to get a command prompt, while the license screen was still showing. I ran "fdisk" an the virtual disk. That show DOS partitioning (legacy partitioning). So I used "w" within "fdisk" to save the result, without actually creating any partitions. Then, when I got to the partitioning section of the installer, it continued with DOS partitioning. So that seems to be the way to force DOS partitioning if you need to do that. Installing booting in the MBR was fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
