--- Comment #18 from Richard Creighton
Hmm, I've installed openSUSE 10.2 with this configuration:
/dev/hda6 -------------------------> /boot /dev/hda7 --+ /dev/hdb6 --+ /dev/sda7 --+--> RAID5 /dev/md0 ---> /
Installation/Upgrade to openSUSE 10.3 GM detected the system well. I haven't touched anything in the update proposal but the [Update] button ;)
Everything went OK, system boots OK. Please give it a try with 10.3 GM.
I am about 5 hours away from the completion of the GM download (torrent is slow) but your installation does not have /boot or the MBR (I suppose) ON THE RAID it appears which is different from the HOWTO and from the installations that have failed. I will certainly try the GM when it finishes downloading though but for a proper test, the MBR and /boot need to be IN the MD raid structure as per the howto. The setup I am running now has no external boot device of any kind, eg, everything is part of the MD raid structure (also supplied in one of the partition screenprints supplied as attachments) which I will resend showing how it is configured now. This uses 8 drives, Four are used in MD raid and 4 are attached to a hardware raid controller called /raidbox on the partitioning scheme. It is when *everything* is as the Howto suggests and there is no external boot partition that things get messed up most. -- 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.
