The first bug is exclusively in 10.3 - when I installed it on a multiboot system, it borked the bootloader for 10.2. I am not a command-line type, I rely on the gui so I went through the 10.2 repair function (New Install / Update / Repair Existing) to fix the bootloader so that all four systems were active (WinXP, 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3). This brings us to bug #2, which I *hope* can be fixed (for gui folks like myself) in 10.3.

It's this: When installing the bootloader from a "New Install" sequence on the 10.2 Install DVD, it correctly picks up and assigns boot options for WinXP, 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 on my system. BUT (and here's the bug), when you go through the Repair sequence (New Install / Update / Other Options -> Repair) and tell it to reinstall the bootloader, it does NOT find the other installed systems!! The only way I could fix the 10.2 bootloader automatically and not loose my 10.2 setup was to do a New Install without formatting the partition.

I think difference between these two implementations of setting up the bootloader is a bug in 10.2 install DVD - can it please be fixed so that the Repair function picks up all other OS's?

Thanks!
Patti

The URL with guidance for entering bug reports is here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Submit_a_Bug

There is a searching for "bugs" section, which gives guidance as to how one can search to see if the bug has already been raised. if it has already been raised then one can still log in to the bugzilla entry page, and add any extra information one may have, to help solve the bug. And if the bug has not yet been raised, one can raise a bug report.

My view is the best person to raise the bug report, is often the person who has first hand experienced "the behaviour" that one does not like.
