--- Comment #41 from albert Vanhelmont <albert.vanhelmont at skynet.be> ---
Hello,

Got a mail from Ben Bullard to test the OM Lx 3.01 .iso's situated at
https://abf.openmandriva.org/platforms/3.0/products/38/product_build_lists/720

The bad news is that when using the "Erase Disk" tab during the "Partitions"
step of the installation program, the "Summary" window still mentions that the
boot-loader will be installed on /dev/sda. I didn't continue with the
installation to test if this really was the case.

The good news is that when using the "Manual partitioning" tab during the
"Partitions" step in the installation program, the "Summary" window mentions
that the boot-loader will be installed at /dev/sdc. I finished the installation
and it really does install OpenMandriva on /dev/sdc.

Some other bad news to end this comment.
When I tried to boot from the freshly installed /dev/sdc disk the boot seems to
work but at the end the graphical login environment refuses to start (gray
screen). On the other hand, logging in via character mode (ctrl alt F2) is
working fine.

Hopes this helps, regards,
Albert
