[Bug 517146] New: Partitioning during install suggest ext4 even for boot parition
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517146 Summary: Partitioning during install suggest ext4 even for boot parition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 3 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: marcus@grenangen.se QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Grub doesn't seems to handle ext4 for the boot partition when using "suggest" feature. This will make the grub install in the end of the install to fail and the error came with no error messages except for a "Failed to complete grub install" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the installer 2. Use the "suggest" partition and check the use separate partition for home folder 3. Continue installation to the finishing steps to get to the grub install and it will fail with a empty error message. Actual Results: The grub setup fails and if you continue with a failed install the system will not boot properly. Expected Results: A separate boot partition around 200MB that uses ext3 so that grub can perform the boot properly. This maybe is solved in a later grub version, but in Milestone 3 this doesn't work. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
