Description Felix Rommel 2006-02-04 00:03:01 UTC 
I installed the Beta3 and choose to have the root partition in a Logical Volume.

Everything went smoth until YaST2 tried the install Grub. The output was:

grub>root(hd0,6)
Filesystem type etx2, partition 0x83
grub-install --stage=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 (hd0,6) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,6)/grub/menu.lst
Error 15: file not found
grub-install --stage=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 (hd0) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,6)/grub/menu.lst

I chose hda7 as "/boot" and /dev/system/linux1 in /dev/hda9 as "/"

So Grub was not installed in hd0 and the boot partition was empty. I created a grub entry from another Linux intallation and booted into the 10.1 Beta3 system and created the YaST2 log files which I attached.

After that I had problems with CD2 because the packages could not be read. I created it with delta ISO from Beta2 to Beta3. MD5sum was ok...

Encounter same problem here (X86_64 edition) both in SUSE 10.1 Beta 3 and Beta2
while installed system root partition in LVM.
Failed to install both Grub and LILO 

/dev/hda2  ext3              /boot
/dev/hda5  swap
/dev/VolGroup/suse reiserfs  /

I just tried that with beta5, works.
So, can you please try again with a more recent beta?
Comment 5 Felix Rommel 2006-03-02 17:51:12 UTC 
If I have time I'll try it with a more recent beta but it can take a few days cause I'm in preparation for exams ;)
Comment 6 Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 2006-03-05 17:54:50 UTC 
Side note: Beta 6 still has some problems with installation on LVM, fix will be in Beta7. So this bug might be fixed, but you'll see others.
