Description Forgotten User N1m2whZ-xl 2006-03-12 23:29:45 UTC

YaST2 bootloader configuration fails to turn from LILO to GRUB if grub is not installed.
It wastes 100% CPU forever during "save configuration".

Seen in beta6 and beta8.

Please attach the YaST logfiles, are there any erros displayed?

Comment 4 Forgotten User N1m2whZ-xl 2006-03-13 11:08:55 UTC

No errors displayed.
Just wasting CPU and not finishing (stays at 50%).

Comment 5 Forgotten User N1m2whZ-xl 2006-03-14 14:46:02 UTC

The same situation if grub is already installed:
It reaches the 50% mark of "Konfigurationsdateien des Bootloaders speichern", and then no further progress, but 100% CPU usage forever.
Nothing gets written to /boot/grub.

Comment 6 Forgotten User N1m2whZ-xl 2006-03-18 10:14:49 UTC

Seems to work now with the "final" beta8.
