Hi,
Main problem: it has destroyed Grub install of my main system, overwriting it instead of installing in the test partition.
Confirmed, did it again. I have dedicated about a full day to test this. To verify, I installed Leap 42.3 on the sda9 test partition, and verified that that the main install and secondary install had both Grub booting correctly. Took an image backup. I took photos during the install. I verified that YaST on 42.3 gives these options (defaults marked): [X] Boot from Root partition [ ] Boot from master boot record [X] Boot from extended partition [ ] Custom boot partition which I changed to the correct settings for this laptop: [X] Boot from Root partition [ ] Boot from master boot record [ ] Boot from extended partition [ ] Custom boot partition Then I installed Leap 15.0 Beta on the same partition. I also took photos. The options were different: [X] Boot from partition [ ] Boot from master boot record [ ] Custom boot partition Notice that it does not say _which_ partition. So I did this: [ ] Boot from partition [ ] Boot from master boot record [X] Custom boot partition [/dev/sda9 ] I noticed that in going to another tab, the "/dev/sda9" entry was cleared out: [ ] Boot from partition [ ] Boot from master boot record [ ] Custom boot partition [ ] I again marked the correct entries. I could not take more photos, yast refused. On boot, YaST had installed grub to /dev/sda4, overwriting the main system, ignoring my explicit orders to install on /dev/sda9 I don't understand this, YaST had this working on previous versions. Why write the code again? I will now create a bugzilla entry and attach photos and logs. No, first I have to try correct grub. And eat. Etc. [...] Well, YaST in 15.0 is unable to correct the situation. It insists on not installing grub to sda9. I can only correct the situation on the main system, which will render 15.0 unbootable. -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.
