[opensuse] openSUSE 11 not allowing to install GRUB on MBR of USB hard disk
Hi, I have an internal hard disk in my laptop (sda) and a external USB hard disk(sdb). In my BIOS I have selected USB hard disk as the first disk. I have installed openSUSE 10.3 on USB hard disk, with GRUB boot loader installed on the MBR of the USB hard disk (sdb). Right now I am trying to install openSUSE 11 on the USB hard disk, however it doesn't let me choose USB hard disk (sdb) as to where I want to install the GRUB boot loader. It only give option to install it on MBR of sda not on sdb. Why I can't install GRUB on sdb? I can do it in Fedora and was able to do that in openSUSE 10.3. -- Regards, Ashish "There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I also tried to exclude the internal hard disk from the boot list, in hope to be able to solve the issue. However that didn't made any difference. While installing Fedora an option is available to change the disk order, is there something similar available in openSUSE 11 which I might have missed? I don't recall how it was in openSUSE 10.3, but just that fact that I have it running proves that it was indeed possible. Can anyone help in this regards please? -- Regards, Ashish "There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
