I wonder if it is related to the change to load grub onto the disk
instead of the mbr.  There is a setting in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader,
i.e. LOADER_LOCATION.  I don't remember now what is default, but I
changed mine to MBR.  It might be affected by /etc/grub.conf, but I saw
that problem when I installed on our office server, where it appeared to
NOT install grub nor a generic master boot record.  I also had an AMD
processor.  I assumed it was my raid1 drives, but perhaps not.  I'm not
sure if the grub command would care about the setting in /etc/sysconfig
or just Yast bootloader module, but that is my take on it.
