Description Silviu Marin-Caea 2014-09-28 13:33:53 UTC 
I have tried installing 13.2b1 on a laptop that had 13.1 and Windows on it.

I have left all the defaults in place, as suggested by YaST. That is install Grub2 in MBR, partitioning as proposed: btrfs for / and xfs for /home.

At the end of the installation, it said that there was an error with the boot loader and do I want to retry the configuration? I tried installing it to root partition instead of MBR, same problem.

Then I tried 13.1 with btrts and guess what, exactly the same.

Going back to 13.2b1, I have selected ext4, no btrfs and everything went perfectly.

If openSUSE 13.2 will fail installation with untouched defaults, it's going to be a disaster.

Identical as bug #898868.
