I agree the 9.1 boot issue is a disaster. I am finally up and running as you can see from various messages here: After 4 days and a new hard drive as well as many cancelled appointments. Summary of pain: 1. was not able to boot into windows 2. Tried every single MBR recovery know to man. 3. Tried to repair Windows. 4. Had to format and start over. 5. New hard drive changed to lilo. 6. install missed many files 7. reinstall 8. reinstall 9. Could not update linux partition not found. 10. Yast tries to install updates on windows partition. (sorry I'm getting some steam off my chest)
Since today we have a machine at hand where we can reproduce the problem. It appears to be some kind of "misunderstanding" between what Windows, BIOS and Kernel 2.6 assume about disk geometry. It doesn't look like an easy one. But at least we have a chance now ... Stay tuned. Greetings from Bremen hartmut
