[Bug 356652] New: Error parsing number while...
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=356652 Summary: Error parsing number while... Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final 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: jarl@yaeda.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- This problem has existed in version 10.2 and .3 for me. The problem arises when trying to install on SATA controllers that have large partitions in it. Or at least so it looks for me. I tried installing on my machine whith 1 74Gb disk. No problem. Then I attached 2 in 1 RAID 0, no problem. Then I tried 2 RAID 0 with 4 disks. Now I got the error. So I tried 2 140Gb disks in RAID 0 and voila, same problem again. So, I tried installing on the "small" setup, but since Windows died under installation when the Linux partitions existed, I had to install Windows first. Now Linux said that it could not use the partition tables on /dev/sdam sdb etc. only works on "clean" installation. So result for me is to install Linux on an IDE disk with the SATA disk that windows uses disabled/removed, and then using BIOS boot select to boot the two os's. Because I also cannot install Linux on the IDE when the SATA drives are attached and enabled because grub/lilo now complains about the boot secotr no longer are ont the frist logical drive. Even if I have disabled bootable in raid controller, set IDE drives as first bootable device etc. It seems to me as if the grub/lilo installer is complete broken when it comes to SATA RAID. I've tried this on various controllers motherboards etc. My current controler is either the Adaptec 1430 or the RAID controller Intel® ICH6R Chipset on a 915G Neo2 Platinum -- 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.
