Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boots up Live USB of opensuse 12.2 2. Start installation process 3. Selects expert partitioning 4. Selects preferred partition to install root and confirm 5. openSUSE indicates that root will be installed onto a partition different from item 4 above. Actual Results: openSUSE indicates that root will be installed onto a partition different from the one manually selected. Expected Results: openSUSE installs root onto manually selected partition. To by-pass this 'problem', I boot into debian to delete sda9 and sda10 and re-created new sda9. openSUSE's 'expert partition' installation proceeded as usual. Unfortunately, I will not be reinstalling (and testing the installation process) openSUSE any time soon, as I am happily using openSUSE 12.2 now :D Thanks. -- 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.
