           Summary: Installation aborts when mounting a non-required
                    partition fails
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: YaST2
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: misc@xxxxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: jsrain@xxxxxxxxxx


I started installation with a totally empty harddisk and did following
partitioning:

a) setup a 10 GB partition for windows and set mountpoint to /media/Windows
b) setup a swap and root partition and format it with ext3/swap

Before installation starts the installer complained, that /media/Windows could
not be mounted (which is ok, as it is yet unformated) and aborted, which is not
ok, as /media/Windows is not critical for installation.

Solution:
a) Detect if a mounted partition is critical or not (e.g. by checking if it is
some of the default paths) or
b) When mounting fails inform the user and let him decide if to proceed or not.
