Hello,
Stephan Kulow írta:
- I installed to an extended partition (/dev/sda5). The default boot
sda5 is usually a logical and not an extended partition.
Don't use x86 enough to remember the right terminology :)
manager configuration is broken, as grub is only installed to an extended partition. This results in an unbootable system. It works fine when MBR is also used.
From http://en.opensuse.org/Bootloader/Scenarios Loader itself can be installed to one (or more) of following master boot record of the primary disk boot sector of primary partition on primary disk holding one of ext2 or ext3
/dev/sda5 does not fit these requirements.
I know (use DOS from '89 and Linux from '94). But somebody, who installs openSUSE by accepting most default settings and without reading a wiki (most of the users...) will run into an unbootable system when using the defaults. Bye, CzP
This looks like missing check for supported scenarios (which if you doesn't have supported scenario write some red warning). And maybe also problem of proposal, which should propose overwrite MBR (also with warning, because rewrite MBR is done automatic if not detected some other bootloader (as windows)) if boot partition is logical.
