https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=274321 ------- Comment #3 from kristian.askildsen@chello.no 2007-05-15 16:30 MST ------- I'm sorry. I never thougth about getting the logfiles before I rebooted. And it's to late to reproduce it now, pluss I really don't want to breake more partitions/file systems. But I'll try to explain as closely as possible. I gave openSUSE a new chance, but this time i created partitions before I launched the installation. I can tell you that I had one external hadrdrive attached, switched on and discovered by the openSUSE during install. I fact the installation program suggested to use this disk. I count myself as a Linux USER, no expert, but I do have an opinion on what the problem is: If you want to reproduce it yourself, make shure you install from harddrive. Have the DVD-image stored on a partition ON THE SAME DISC AS YOU INTEND TO INSTALL openSUSE. This partition will have to be mounted(?). Thus the partition table will be in use, and the kernel will have to stick with the old partition table until reboot. (At least this is what I keep hearing from fdisk when I apply changes to the partition table on my laptop.) As you can see from my description above. The new partition, where I intended to install openSUSE, got the same device name in the new partition table as the partition where the DVD-image was stored had in the old partition table. (/dev/hda7). It was the old hda7 that got formated (but failed as it was mounted) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
