in which way? Logs? Error message?
I looked at the bootloader code a couple of weeks ago. I'm not a yast expert, but I think yast wants to install the mbr and stuff like that to get the machine ready to boot without CD assistance.
Correct. But we really need error messages to help you solve any problems.
They got the install to work by commenting out everything in bootload_finish.ycp. What does this file do?
Stefan Fent and Olaf Dabrunz can tell you more.
bootload_finish.ycp writes the bootloader configuration to the installed target system and then calls the bootloader to install the "boot code" (aka "stage1") to the selected disk block (MBR, at the beginning of a partition, etc.). It is the last stage before the reboot during a fresh installation or an update. -- Olaf Dabrunz (od/odabrunz), SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Nürnberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
