[opensuse] repair of a nearly finished install of 10.2
After some hardware problems I installed 10.2 again on an empty partition.My hardware is at the moment quite shaky and during the final steps of theinstallation just before the user should have been made my system froze.Reset helped me out. My system now does not have a user and stops in konsole. I can enter root withpassword and may start Yast but the part where groups and users could be madejust stops the machine. A case of reset. Would like to repair my machine. Any help is welcome. ___________________________________________________________ indomail - Your everyday mail - http://indomail.indo.net.id -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hang completely, meaning you can't even switch to another console? No kernel panic or oops in the log? Since the users and groups module only edits a plain text file (unless you have it set for LDAP or some such, in which case not even that) it sounds a lot like you have disk corruption, which causes the machine to hang while trying to read from the broken part. I would suggest booting to the rescue system and running fsck and/or badblocks, and perhaps even getting the vendor specific disk diagnosis utility to test with I really don't see any other reason why the users and groups module would hang the machine. It doesn't do anything to the core system Then again, if you set up your machine to authenticate to a network source like LDAP, it could be the network card that causes the machine to hang as well - this could be tested by trying to do anything at all over the network -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

touch /var/lib/YaST2/runme_at_boot and reboot. This will re-start the second part of the installation after a reboot. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die. In the rain. Alone."

Man I wish this was documented somewhere other than this list. I had this exact same problem with 10.2 (boxed set media) on three consecutive install attempts on a totally empty drive. I suspected the hardware, but a subsequent install of Kubuntu went flawlessly. Its still running Kubuntu. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
