------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-15 19:22 ------- Created an attachment (id=368) --> (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/attachment.cgi?id=368&action=view) report.bug.cooker2.gz I tried to duplicate the steps taken for the rc2 install with an hd install of 20030314 21:05, all md5sums verified, newly reformatted reiserfs / and /home. At bootloader configuration, selected 'Advanced' and selected the box to make a bootdisk. Chose to install grub to hdg8, the / partition. Was not asked what is the disk containing my primary bootloader. After reboot, as in rc2, there did not appear to be a bootloader on hdg8 and there was no menu.lst. Configuring in drakboot created a menu and installed the bootloader to hdg8. Seemingly, the selection to create a bootdisk in Advanced is the factor common to both failures to install the bootloader at install. Perhaps related, a screen is displayed subsequent to the installer's bootloader configuration section wherein creation of the bootdisk is declined by default and I must reselect to create the bootdisk. Report.bug is attached. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: This is for an hd install, md5sum of isos, hd.img, and hd.img floppy verified. At bootloader configuration, I opended the Advanced dialog and selected to create a bootdisk. Then, I configured GRUB to be installed to my newly formatted / partition, hdg8 on the hpt372 onboard controller. Install was, otherwise, uneventfully successful but, when I rebooted, there was no menu.lst and, apparently, GRUB had not been written to hdg8. I configured a menu.lst with drakboot, which then wrote GRUB to hdg8, and all worked as expected. Report.bug.gz to follow.
