           Summary: Problem with libata transition (mkinitrd fails du to
                    wrong fstab)
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Beta 2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: bwalle@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: bwalle@xxxxxxxxxx

The %post script of the kernel package fails in installation when creating the
new initrd with following message:

Fatal storage error. Device /dev/hda6 does not have a driver.
/sbin/mkinitrd failed
error: %post(kernel-bigsmp-2.6.22.5-10.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

While debugging this, I discovered that the problem is that /proc/devices is
mis-read due to the fact that the running system uses libata and the updated
system (10.2) still uses  hda in /etc/fstab.

This could be due to the change in %post that mkinitrd is now also executed in
installation system (Thu Aug 23 2007 - bwalle@xxxxxxx - Bug #303734). However,
before "fixing" again the %post script: When does yast2-storage convert the
fstab?

Is it before yast2-bootloader invocation? Because the yast2-bootloader creates
a initrd (again) after installation and before boot, then it would be save to
not generate a initrd in %post when we are in the installation system.
