Error I can see (progress of formating: 81%) is: ***** Error Failure partition during following action: Formating partition /dev/sda5 (10.3 GB) with ext3 System error code was: -3008 /sbin/mke2fs -O dir_index -j -v /dev/sda5 : mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) Could not write 8 blocks in inode table starting at 8896539: Attemp to write block from filesystem resulted in short write ***** When I chceck info about hard disk, I can see: /dev/sda5 (disk, dev 8:0-8:15) Model: "ST3120023AS" Revision: "3.01" Serial: "3KA1STQ9" Driver: "ata_piix" Geometry (Logical): CHS 14593/255/63 Size: 2344393535 sectors (112 GB) Geometry (BIOS EDD): CHS 232578/16/63 --one_more_line_i_didnt_write-- ***** It is strange for me, because I am able to install openSUSE 10.2 Beta2 by preformatting /dev/sda5 as ext3 using SuSE Linux 10.1 version. I just make a hard-reset after successfully formating, insert openSUSE 10.2 Beta2 DVD and check installator to do not format my /dev/sda5. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

So it didn't appear because of changes between beta versions. If any more info is needed - let me know. I can start installation again and check it. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I doubt this is a kernel bug, but I'd prefer to make sure. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220587 ------- Comment #5 from zajec5@gmail.com 2006-11-20 02:34 MST ------- I am not able to reproduce this bug anymore since I have installed openSUSE 10.2 Beta2 on /dev/sda5 formated to ext3 by SUSE Linux 10.1. I tried to install openSUSE 10.2 Beta2 3 times, when there was a - openSUSE 10.2 Beta2 on /dev/sda5 (ext3) - SUSE Linux 10.1 on /dev/sda5 (ext3) - SUSE Linux 10.1 on /dev/sda5 (reiser) Every installation was successfull. I have no idea why it started to work for me every time. I didn't change anythng in my hardware. Sad I didn't check tty10 when I had a problems. I think we have to close this bug now. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
