[opensuse] 10.2 installation
Installed the 10.2 per disks on my HP laptop: installation went fine as such, but smashed my grub after reboot a few lines on screen looked like grub command lines and then a very blank screen and a blinking cursor. tried the repair function with yet another new installation. could not solve the problem with grub (have dual boot with windows xp). the earlier installation with 10.2 R2 went fine thou. got one error message thou grub -177 (: Niels -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

As a possible workaround/solution: try lilo instead of grub. No need to re-install the system for that. Just boot into the installed system via the install CD (not from the initial boot menu but after you selected "install system" when you come to the part where you can choose "fresh install", "update" or "other" - go for "other" ad you should find it - that's out of my head, hope i got it right).

Is there an internal vote system for bugs? Ohterwise just trigger the person in charge for this usability bug:
And your life next time will be easier, if you describe solutions for customers. :-) Would be nice to see it in 10.3. Ciao Siegbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I just voted for it (after changing the product from SUSE Linux 10.0 to openSUSE 10.2). And you could do the same.

I agree.

Done. Maybe others here could also vote for it, it's a long-standing annoyance. Ciao Siegbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
