--- Comment #19 from Richard Creighton
ok, the installation keeps failing, over and over again, with the same error, but the log file you mentioned is never there.
This problem is directly related to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304657 Where they are similar is that they both involve mixed hardware, ie, IDE and SATA drives. In their infinite wisdom, someone decided that the age old idea of calling IDE drives HDxx and SCSI drives which somehow equated to SATA would be called SDxx. Then someone decided to call ALL drives SDxx including IDE drives and made the change during the kernel builds somewhere after 2.6.18. Beta versions 10 10.3 are past that point and if you notice, your IDE drives are called SDAx and your SAATA drives designations are bumped up one letter. Needless to say, a lot of programs, installers, drivers, you name it, needed to be updated and many including GRUB and LILO apparantly were not completely modified, nor was YAST2 - repair which was the subject of the above mentioned bug. All of the 'fixes' and workarounds mentioned above are efforts to force the system to not have mixed hardware, ie, only SATA or only IDE in which case, the software works until you again put the mixture back in place, then it is iffy again. Until the real, underlying problem is addressed, no amount of log files is going to help...they are always on the wrong drive from where you expect them to be. If you need logs, I uploaded some examples for that bug retrieved off of my supposedly immune 10.2 drive which was not supposed to be part of the 10.3 installation. It is no longer available for me to re-upload it for this bug but it should be of value to prove a point if you go fetch it. Again, the problem is the renaming of IDE drives to SDxx without allowing for it througout the entire Linux sytem of drivers and install programs. -- 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.
