http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1142229 Bug ID: 1142229 Summary: Installer can't install bootloader for logical drive with btrfs Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: 64bit OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: smetz3@gmu.edu QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I successfully installed 32-bit Tumbleweed to a logical drive in an extended logical partition, /dev/sda6, on my laptop, and the installer set the FS type to btrfs. After I replaced the CPU with a 64-bit chip, I decided to replace Tumbleweed with LEAP 15.1. I selected expert, existing partitions and import mount points. I ran into multiple problems, described in https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/536788-Unable-to-replace-bootload..., and wound up changing the FS type to ext4, which worked; the generic bootloader in the MBR can handle an active logical drive. The failing scenarios are trying to install the bootloader into MBR when there is little space before the first partition, and trying to install the bootloader into the PBR of a logical drive (the installer puts it in the PBR of the extended partition instead of the PBR of the logical drive. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
