Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: RHEL 5 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: System Imaging AssignedTo: ms@suse.com ReportedBy: praveen_paladugu@dell.com QAContact: adrian@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=449844) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=449844) Complete build log with failure User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1 While creating partitions with lvm support, kiwi uses "set xx type 0x83". This way to setting the partition properties seems to be SUSE distribution specific. The vanilla version of parted doesn't support such features. So, it would better to set the flags instead of setting the partition types with Hex IDs. For example, to enable lvm capabilities "set xx lvm on" will work. Building RHEL/CentOS based VMX images fails because of this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a vmx image using the JeOS template and vmxboot/rhel-05.4 boot config. 2. Enable lvm support with <systemdisk> element in the system image configuration. 3. Initiate a kiwi build. Actual Results: the build fails with the following messages: Sep-07 00:38:03 <3> : Expected a directory at /tmp/kiwiboot.HX9283/image. Specify a directory as the configuration base. failed Expected Results: the build to pass and create a bootable VMX image. Please note this failure is only seen while using the lvm configuration in the VMX images. The base vmx configuration works just fine. -- 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.
