Feeling paranoid about it ... See if this works!
I don't understand if you are asking a question or telling me something I don't get.
Ping!
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=839081 tells me you should not try more than one checkbox at a time in YaST2 Bootloader. As I have neither Grub2 nor LVM, it's nothing I could check.
Part of the reason, I think, that Windows and OSX "just works" is that users aren't allowed to make decisions like this.
"Where should I put the MBR?" And answer like "Well, everywhere, just to make sure!" is perfectly reasonable, sn't it?
Isn't it?
Of course! So did you try again selecting one choice only? Maybe a comment in the bug that it seems not to have gotten fixed is in order? Devs spend too much time making stuff "better" and fixing others' "improvements", kicking sleeping dogs, than ensuring "improvements" aren't breaking stuff. Did you set reply-to to opensuse list in your message an hour before this one on purpose? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

It is not fixed. The problem became less urgent with current openSUSE version that defaults to btrfs and is not the type of code that easily qualifies for backporting.

I'm looking forward to see your contribution. It will certainly make openSUSE the best distribution ever. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

My contribution has primarily been and remains identifying and reporting reproducible problems so that fixers know what needs fixing, not fixing brokenness myself. That won't likely be changing, else I wouldn't have time left for the other prong, assisting those needing help using or installing it. I have a big enough shortage of round tuits already. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
