This is a show stopper if I ever saw one. I did the boot with init=/bin/sh but nothing really out of the ordinary pops up on the file system. It says fsck is clean, mounting read-only The only thing that stands out is a statement about invoking /dev/sda2 manually and a user retry for the same statement. I'll see if I can write it down and paste it in here later. On the "up" side, I reinstalled using Grub/ext3 combo and that works perfectly. So something about Lilo/reiser is really messing things up. i'm going to write down those boot lines, then reinstall testing grub/reiser and lilo/ext3 and see which (or both?) that causes the issue. We need lilo (for some really weird reasons) -- 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.

I am testing Lilo/ext3 next. But looks like our focus should be on Lilo now as the most likely culprit! When I change the boot loader install (during initial install) from Grub to Lilo, I always choose the option "propose changes", that has always worked in the past, even up to 10.3 works perfectly. but now, as of 11.0 it's not working. I'll provide info on lilo/ext3 combo shortly. -- 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.

If you wish to recreate this, just boot the DVD, do a BASE install (minimal), choose KDE4 as the desktop, ext3 or reiserfs file systems (doesn't matter), go into the booting menu, select the boot manager tab, and choose LILO, it will pop up a box, select "propose new changes" (or something like that). In the boot loader screen after that, make sure you select the MBR (first option). then install as normal and let it run. When it finishes install and reboots, you'll see lots of "read-only file system". and booting with init=/bin/sh does as mentioned above. So this problem is reproduce-able, consistently so far as I can see. -- 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.
