No longer the case. I bought a G250 Kaby Lake Intel motherboard. I currently
have Stretch, openSUSE Tumbleweed and openSUSE 15.0 Alpha installed. openSUSE
42.3's installer hangs in the bootloader configuration step.

http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Dfsee/gb250L02.txt is my partition log. The upper part
is generated by the partitioner I use. The bottom is gpart -l output for comparison.

I haven't seen you post the debian-user list in a while. How's multiboot going
for you?
