Leap 423 upgraded from 422. Old drive has been in use probably since 10x. Bios. Generic code is in the MBR. I have 423 / in an extended partition. Grub2 is in 423 /. All was good.
I used Yast2-bootloader module to change an option (boot loader password, if it matters). I then exited normally (OK) and yast rewrote/reinstalled the bootloader.
I would not expect it to reinstall bootloader at this point - just to rewrite grub.cfg.
Next boot failed at a blinking cursor.
I booted with Parted Magic and found that Yast had set the extended partition itself as the boot partition, rather than / which was 2 or 3 partitions deep into the extended. I fixed that and rebooted normally. I went into Yast2-bootloader and Boot Loader Location was still correctly set there as Boot from Root Partition, even though that is not what it apparently wrote to the bootloader.
So, my question is, is this expected behaviour?
I say, not. Either YaST should not allow you to select logical partition at all, or it should not silently use different partition. Open bug report. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
