A recent Tumbleweed snapshot removed master-boot-code. What is the replacement, has the replacement been tested? The code in master-boot-record.rpm did just look for a primary, active partition and loads/runs the startup code from that partition. What I learned the hard was a couple of times is that Windows, after certain updates are installed, will not boot anymore unless its boot partition is marked as active in the partition table. I think sometimes it would refuse to install certain updates if its boot partition is not marked as active. Olaf
