Description Christoph Thiel 2005-09-09 13:32:15 UTC 
I just tried to install SUSE Linux 10.0 RC1plus on a virginal T43 (WinXP
preloaded) and failed: The partitioning works now, and so does the grub
installation, except it didn't activate the partition grub was installed in. So
after the first reboot the laptop just booted WinXP without any chance of
booting Linux ;)

I'll provide y2logs as soon as the installation is finished.

Fixed in SVN, submitted to STABLE.  
  
The bootlaoder partition has to be always activated if bootloader is not  
installed to MBR (unless user decides not to activate it).
