Installation works until the boot record should be written. In case of rx220 the boot record should be written to the root partition. Beside the error 22: No such partition also the MBR was destroyed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installed openSUSE 11.2 on fake raid with GPT Actual Results: No boot redord was written Expected Results: Correct operation, install a system which can be booted afterwards In the latest release of fedora 11 (Preview) almost everything works out of the box, which means only manual interaction for the following items is needed : mklabel gpt (no botton for writing new partition table!) mkinitrd on distribution is in error for details please read #500322 (bugzilla.redhat.com) I tried to write a new bootrecord with fedora 11 - which worked - but openSUSE 11.2 cannot handle this bootrecord - so chainloading failed . Next I tried to load the openSUSE boot menu with configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst So I could start openSUSE 11.2, but boot fails because root partition is not found. This seems to be similar to #500979 - with one difference that at that time (SLED 11) only the problem on ESB2 occurred. There is also a second difference, in the previous edition (openSUSE 11.1,SLED 11) there was a problem with GPT and dmraid, which ended up, that the RAID information was destroyed (please see #436825 ) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
