Hi YaST hackers,

I observe a kernel bug that happens only in YaST partitioning code.
Probably the partitioner does some "weird" thing (load modules,
etc.) that triggers the bug.

How to debug this? Is it possible to trigger the same hardware
detection code in a running system?

'yast2 disk' in the running system does mainly the same detection
but loading of modules and activating of lvm, md etc. likely
happened already.

Or do I need to rebuild the kernel (easy) and the installation
initrd (because of modules)?

Any suggestions appreciated.

With YaST logs I might say what yast2-storage was doing. Might be
difficult to get if the kernel crashed but IIRC y2logs can be
redirected to syslog and thus to network.

ciao Arvin
