No device node is made and no sign of ieee1394 in dmesg. If the disk is plugged in while the system is running, it is detected, the device nodes are created and it can be mounted. If the same disk is connected to USB, everything works as expected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.plug in external firewire disk before booting 2.boot the system 3. Actual Results: No device node is present for external disk partitions and as a result, it can not be mounted. A workaround for this bug is to disconnect and connect the disk again after the system has booted. The disk is then detected and usable. -- 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.

[Bug 470457] New: The installation partitioner offers to delete GPT with default answer "yes"
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 02 Mar '09

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470457 Summary: The installation partitioner offers to delete GPT with default answer "yes" Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: d.pashov(a)gmail.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-2.5 Firefox/3.0.5 This is something available since at least 11.0 but I've always kept forgetting it. I have a MacBook Pro and every time I install openSUSE on it I get message of the sort: "You hard disk is paritioned with the GUID Partition Table (GPT). Most BIOSes do not cannot recognize GPT. Would you like to conver it to MBR?" Yes No "Yes" is the default answer. Now my point is that this message and the default answer are very much out of place. My arguments are: 1. Intel macs use GPT for a number of good reasons. MBR on the boot disk is not very well supported on those machines. It works but with glitches and I doubt apple is willing to improve on that, so MBR it is not really a good option. 2. Linux works fine with GPT there was a small issue with GRUB addressing partitions beyond the fourth but even this is fixed now, so there is no problem with using opensuse (or most other distributions) on GPT partitioned drivers. 3. If GPT partiotioned drive is found on non apple and non itanium hardware it most likely means that someone intentionally did it and knows what (s)he is doing, so I don't see the need of that message in that case as well. 4. Replacing the partiotion table means loosing all partitions, all data on the computer. That truly a disaster and if I was a new curious user without much clue I would truly "love" linux and opensuse after pressing the recommended "Yes" button. Based on that I would expect the number of opensuse installations on intel macs to be lower than the other major distributions. I have two alternative solutions. Either drop the warning altogether because of (4.) or don't show if the machine is mac. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to install openSUSE 11.0 or higher on intel mac with GPT partitioned hard drive. 2. Enter the partition manager set the mounts and save changes 3. The window with the warning/proposition appers. Actual Results: I haven't went that far as to press "yes" but according to what is written I guess it will delete my GPT and create a new MBR. Expected Results: Either drop the warning altogether because of the reson expressed in 4. or don't show if the machine is an intel mac. In case you want to send me some patches I'll be glad to help testing. I can also go in irc if you have more questions. -- 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.
