https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309070 Summary: Install impossible in a pata system with more than 16 partitions. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 3 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas@telefonica.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I boot the DVD of beta 3. It searches the partitions, sees there are disks with more than 16 partitions, and pops a large warning, recommending to reboot the install with kernel option "hwprobe=-modules.pata". According to Andreas Jaeger (factory mail list) this should not happen, and please report it to bugzilla. However, not knowing that, I reboot with that kernel option. When I reach the point of installation when it tries the network in order to add online repos, before the proposals, it pops a window requesting "insert opensuse 10.3 CD1", "continue/cancel". Continue fails to find the DVD (not CD1!), and cancels aborts the installation. Furthermore, the command "mount" in a console says there is nothing at all mounted, not even "/". I consider bug this critical as I can not install at all. System is fully PATA, not any SATA in the motherborad or bios. An external usb HD was connected at install time (I forgot to power it off). Currently I use 10.2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
