12.3 RC1 Grub installation fails
Feb 7th 2013, 13:42

I have just tried to all 12.3 RC1 (openSUSE-12.3-KDE-LiveCD-Build0024-x86_64.iso) on an HP Pavilion dm1-3105. This is a system with an AMD E-350 cpu and ATI Radeon HD 6310 graphic processor

When I try a "standard" Grub 2 installation, without changing anything, it fails with:

Error occurred while installing GRUB2.

/usr/sbin/grub2/bios-setup: warning: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partition.
/usr/sbin/grub2/bios-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install.

When I change the Boot Options to select (Legacy) Grub, it fails with:

Error occurred while Installing GRUB

sh: /usr/sbin/grub: No such file or directory

This is certainly not a RAID or LVM installation.

I have installed on various other systems, including AMD/ATI systems, without problem. I have installed openSuSE 12.2 on this system without problem.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

jw
