Description Fraser Addison 2005-08-11 11:31:40 UTC 
Tried installing twice and both time it screwed up the WindowsXP selection in
menu.1st for GRUB boot loader here is the only line it put...

title Windows
chainloader (hd0,0)/dev/hda1

When it should probably be...

title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Please, attach the YaST2 logs.

Comment 3 Forgotten User 6CfSUJ5Yw_ 2005-08-13 18:52:58 UTC 
This bug occurs on 32 bit systems also (Pentium M).  The YaST2 generated entry is:

title Windows
    chainloader (hd0,6)/dev/hda1

This does not work, GRUB complains about not being able to find the file (I will
restore the incorect stanza and write down the exact message.  Note that this is
not self-consistent, /dev/hda1 = (hd0,0).  (hd0,6) is the Linux root partition.
The following does work:

title Windows
    root (hd0,0)
    chainloader +1

I just uploaded one of the YaST2 logs that mention grub.  I will attach the others.
