--- Comment #6 from Occo Eric Nolf 2007-10-20 08:22:51 MST ---
Right, here is what happened ...
- performed a fresh internet install, formatting existing partitions for /,
/boot, and swap, and specifying mount points for the existing partition for
/home and for 3 partitions used by XP
- installation failed like before, due to failure to write initrd
- using vim, edited file /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-storage.sh changing
local retval=$(cat /proc/partitions | egrep "^[ ]*$major[ ]*$minor")
to
local retval=$(cat /proc/partitions | egrep "^[ ]*$major[ ]*$minor ")
- ran mkinitrd, resulting in familiar messages:
Bootloader::Library::SetLoaderType: Initialization for unknown bootloader
Bootloader::Core::ListFiles: Running generic function, it should never be
called
Bootloader::Core::ParseLines: Running generic function, it should never be
called
- didn't manage to resume the installation, re-booted system
- didn't get anywhere using GRUB, got the installed system to boot using an
installation DVD
- got error messages all over the place: all partitions, except /, invalid
because of missing superblocks
- got kdm started in 10.3 and had a look at the partitioner: it didn't show any
of the existing partitions except /
- re-installed 10.2 using an installation DVD, the partitioner had no problem
loading the correct partition table and all existing partitions!
----------------
Unless I did something wrong, the patch for #334461 is not the solution for
this bug.
There seems to be a fundamental problem with RAID0+1 in version 10.3 ... the
fact that the partitioners of 10.2 and 10.3 come up with completely different
partition tables seems to confirm this.
