https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331776 Summary: Installation hangs during sync Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: georgmueller@gmx.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- When installing openSUSE 10.3 on my desktop machine the installation hangs while installing the grub package. I switched to the console (Alt+F2) and "ps auxf" showed that it hangs on the sync command in "D+" state. vmstat shows no I/O going on. It is called in the second line of the post-installation rpm script. It was not possible to kill the sync (also not with kill -9) I ran into the same situation later when installing the kernel (after some ways to continue installation after reboot, also sync). Both hard disks work well and I have seen no problematic output on dmesg, but I also had a hang on installation when he attemped to mount one of the windows drives located on /dev/sdb (NTFS drive, maybe another bug report). For all other installations I have not entered any mount points for the windows drives. The only partition used on /dev/sdb is the swap partition.
