We've fixed bug 266886 - a bug with raid setups and our developers and QA team have tested heavily all situations they could think of.
I've just released a new repository with an updated perl-bootloader - and a new kernel with some minor fixes to: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.2-bootloader-test We're going to release this the next days as official updates unless somebody finds another serious problem. Thanks for all your help with testing! Andreas P.S.
