Details: [|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s) History: -[os111|hd:///os111?device=/dev/sda7|filesystem=auto] Repository type cannot be determined. Try again? This is at "System probing" + "initialize package manager" /dev/sda7 shows mounted on /var/adm/mount but ls -l shows that /os111 is mounted directly on /var/adm/mount when I try again and enter the same device :/dev/sda7 and directory:/os111, it fails again. when I try device /dev/sda7 and directory /, it proceeds I suspect that the code initializing the package manager expects to find the installation media in the directory /var/adm/mount/os111 instead of /var/adm/mount -- 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.
