Is this a gui or a text install?

Comment 2 James Riggs 2002-02-20 13:21:19 UTC

This happens on both GUI and text installs.  I installed to a machine that had
SuSE 7.3 and told the installer to intall Grub.  The system hung on boot with LI
 lilo from SuSE was not over written.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2002-02-22 16:45:01 UTC

And you were trying to install the boot loader to the MBR, correct?

Comment 4 James Riggs 2002-02-22 17:50:39 UTC

Yes, attempting to install the boot loader to the MBR

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2002-03-13 05:41:05 UTC

Does this still happen with beta2 ?

Comment 6 James Riggs 2002-03-13 14:17:27 UTC

I have not seen this issue with Beta 2.
