The kernel sees no partitions on sda. From the log:

/proc/partitions major minor #blocks name

8 0 5451776 sda 7 0 19588 loop0 [...]

Normal partitions must be there even without YaST triggering any detection. Looks more like a kernel module loading issue and mentioned before.

Where do you see it?

I looked in the logs from comment #0 at 2008-11-28 19:02:34.

OK, so please look at my logs, as I reproduce it and it is easily for me to handle it (and verify). -- 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.

Lukas - please look at Update.ycp:804 from update module (I find that you are maintainer). Why you call GetProductName and how can I set it from dvd menu?

It's actually RootPart.ycp:804 And why does it call Update::GetProductName();? Well, that's easy, `cause we need it! ;) It fills up the the Installation::installedVersion map which is used later when displaying a table of installed systems and/or the update proposal. It seems RootPart/Update is called without having the partitions mounted: OSRFstab.ycp:2240 All partitions were successfully umounted from /mnt... repair/osr_module_partition.ycp:1304 User wishes to boot installed system However... RootPart.ycp:629 There are 4 files in /var/lib/hardware/ (in /mnt?) -- 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.
