Just afterwards YaST2 calls: /sbin/tune2fs -c 500 -i 2m /dev/sda6 /sbin/tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda6 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. tune2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) So there is either a bug in e2fsprogs of in kernel on PPC. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308588#c8 --- Comment #8 from peter czanik 2007-09-10 09:26:32 MST --- Started now an installation without formatting /dev/sda6 from the installer (which was previously formatted from 'rescue'), and now packages are being installed. Also tested, that I used xfs for /dev/sda6, and it did not work either. 'parted /dev/sda print' showed, that 'file system' is 'xfs', but even if mounting the partition exited with 0, dmesg was full with xfs error messages and installation failed. So, I guess, the 'bad thing' happens during or right after formatting. -- 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.
