Boot option namescheme=by-label allows me to install from stick. I used the same stick as described above but on another PC (the former one meanwhile got its installation). BTW, USB stick installations should be carefully checked for the next releases; in my opinion we will see USB sticks nearly completely taking the place of burned DVDs in short term.

Just looked at it with Michael and it looks like we screwed up hard disk installs in oS 11.3 entirely. :-((

I'd not say it's screwed up. Well, actually zypp looks for an entry in /dev/disk/by-uuid or /dev/disk/by-label which has the same major/minor device number than the specified media. The problem is that the device is not listed there, although it probably should, shouldn't it? Calling vol_id was just a fallback if there is no by-uuid/by-label entry. This fallback now fails as vol_id is dropped. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I used the last version choose opensuse factory and load your hybrid image 4) now you should have a working usb media to install opensuse 11.3 . plug your pendrive , reboot your pc then choose boot from usb . you will have a prompt . don't choose default , choose linux . 5) after opensuse installer finish loading , change the setting so that you can install from hard disk . you will see your flash there , it will ask u for a mount point , just type '/' and hit OK . 6) then come the beautiful graphic install (no bug ) . Done have a lot fun .. -- 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.

1) How are these updates connected to "Bug 623226 - zypp: installation from
hard disk impossible"? Should and will the DVD and live CD iso images (GNOME,
KDE; ...) for 11.3 also be changed? Or will the solution only effect the next
release (openSUSE 11.4)?


2) In General:
I think it would be desirable to have a working and well documented easy
graphical way
a) to make a live USB drive/live USB stick just by booting and starting a
burned live CD on a computer with an CD drive, plugging in a USB drive and a
few clicks (like with Knoppix).
b) to make an live USB drive on a netbook with a Microsoft system running and
without any CD drive.
(But this last two issues may be more issues of the existing or new openFATE
threads? - I am a bit lost in the differentiation and the connections of 'new'
feature realization and hunting/retracing bugs in to be already 'realized'
features ;) )
