Hello, I want to know if this is worth a new bugzilla entry (may be it's already on the air) Saturday, during an installation demo, I had an install failure (11.2, demo openSUSE dvd, 64 bits). The reason of the failure is unidentified (probably a read error on the medium), but this is not relevant here. The result was, as far as I can see, a complete install *but* the system files: passwd and shadow. The /etc/passwd file existed but empty. there where two example files passwd.xx. No recovery system was able to recover from this. I didn't want to set the files myself by hand because there was no "root" user in the example files and so I didn't know for sure what he system config was and didn't want to make a flacky system. A second install succeed. But this was a nearly one hour work; Looks like the second stage YaST run was not completed (the one after the only reboot). Could it be possible to add on the recovery system this YaST install stage? This kind of failure is seen pretty often in y experience. thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org Claire Dodin:http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=634730124 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
