If not, would anyone be interested in helping me figure this one out?
What happens... symptoms please?
I have my daughters ACER laptop dual booting between wishta and opensuse 10.3/ I had an interesting problem that I've never encountered... the first few times that wishta started it gave me a black screen and fatal startup errors... like it could tell that something was very wrong with the MBR and wasn't happy about it. On about the fourth bootup wishta began working "as normally as you might expect it too... it sucks..." and the dual boot has worked since---very strange behavior. I am wondering if they have finally rigged W7 so that dual boot will be a royal pain./ (sour grapes stuff?) ... just guessing of course. I don't plan running W7... and wouldn't even have wishta if it hadn't come preloaded on my daughter's ACER... we will probably drop it... it can't really do anything and I'm not about to buy any windows software!
The issue is actually solved. Windows 7 repaired boot sector without wiping out GRUB in MBR. I looked in bugzilla, there is no bug report from Dave, but there are another interesting: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445900 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461613 -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
