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

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?
The reasons for a complete rewrite of YaST have been explained. In short:
That was a while ago. According to what Carlos describes, some behaviour appears to have changed from Leap42.3 to Leap15. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
