thanks for reporting. I investigate code where it happen and something is strange with mount points.
Bugzilla seems to be better place for bugs. And it's already there, isn't it?
The first problem with Bugzilla is people don't always make summaries that are readily related to the problem observed, often putting some cryptic string in place of real description. I didn't find anything either about hover, or about loader + unfixed matching my observation/experience.
The second problem is Factory isn't entirely about latest, and one must either remember or guess whether and what isn't current in it in order to decide whether the observed problem isn't stemming from something several versions old and thus most likely known about already, or known to be a build or other transitory problem that might be gone in a matter of hours or a day. So, reporting/asking here e.g. is a way to find out whether it may be recognized as something new, particularly with this Ruby rebuilding of YaST and its dedicated mailing list.
mailing list live for a long time and this problem is not related to YaST in ruby. Actually 13.1 installer use ruby, so if you cannot observe it in 13.1 then it is not related to ruby conversion.
FWIW, notwithstanding bugs, I liked the pre-Ruby installation YaST very much, far and away more than any other OS installer ever used, and am not particularly pleased with the installation simplification changes observed so far.
well, no one is always satisfied. But if you convince enough people that it make sense for opensuse and someone is willing to do it, it is possible to make it configurable in control file for opensuse, that there is richer configuration in installation.
Also, I'm particularly unhappy that 13 month old https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=663749 has not been implemented, which wouldn't even be needed if there was a checkbox to say new bootloader is or is not to be the master bootloader (aka stanzas for any but new OS desired or necessary).
There is three reasons why it is not implemented: 1) it have problem with edit button, as it is tricky to edit more items at once 2) it do not have enough priority, if you convince some from opensuse release team and! we have time ( so suse sponsor work) or there is code change from someone which we can just review, then it can be implemented 3) plan is to move forward to grub2 as we have even trouble with one bootloader and for two, it multiple number of issues we have and for the most people working bootloader is more important then plenty of choices. Of course always is possible to do it manually with none bootloader and then install it yourself outside of installer.
