Description Stanislav Visnovsky 2005-08-11 07:21:09 UTC
"No operating system" is the message, because YaST bootloader  
writes the bootloader to the boot sector.

Hmm, strange. According to the log and attached MBR:  
  
The partition /dev/hda4 has been activated.  
The MBR contains the generic code (also written by YaST)  
GRUB was installed to /dev/hda4 (hd0,3), the machine has only one disk  
  
Torsten, any idea why the machine even if it was installed obviously correctly  
doesn't boot?

Not yet, but I strongly assume it's the same reason as this one.
