https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=292011#c7 --- Comment #7 from Matthew Fisher <flatrivercobol@comcast.net> 2007-07-23 23:20:14 MST --- Created an attachment (id=152554) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=152554) y2log archive The y2logs are attached. A red error dialog occurred twice during the installation. If I understand correctly, this causes logs to be restarted. As supporting documentation, here's a description of what occurred during the install. In Windows, I deleted the Linux partitions. I then booted from openSUSE 10.2 CD1, and selected Installation. Language: English (US) > Next. Media Check: (skipped) > Next. License Agreement: Yes > Next. Installation Mode: New Installation > Next. Clock and Time Zone: USA, Central > Next. Desktop Selection: GNOME > Next. Installation Settings: Accept. Confirm Installation: Install. Error: Failure occurred during the following action: Setting type of partition /dev/sda5 to 82. System error code was: -1012. Clicked OK, and a red error dialog appeared: "An error occured during the installation". OK. Main Menu: Start Installation or System. OK. Start Installation or Update: OK. Choose the Source Medium: CD-ROM. OK. Loading installation system.... We're back at the Language menu. Provided same responses as before. Responded OK to a confirm driver activation dialog. Warning: "The partitioning on disk /dev/sda is not readable by the partitioning tool parted, which is used to change the partition table. You can use the partitions on disk /dev/sda as they are. You can format them and assign mount points to them, but you cannot add, edit, resize, or remove partitions from that disk with this tool." OK. Installation Mode: New Installation > Next. Desktop Selection: GNOME > Next. Installation Seetings: Partitioning: "No automatic proposal possible. Specify mount points manually in the Partioner dialog." Change > Partitioning. Preparing Hard Disk: Custom Partitioning > Next. Expert Partitioner. Hmm. This looks like I could wipe out Windows if I make a mistake. So.... Abort > Reboot. Installation, etc., Accept, Install. Insert CD2. Error: "Package htdig was not found on the medium." Ignore. Red error dialog: "An error occurred during the installation." OK. Start Installation, etc., Update > Next, etc. Installation Settings > Packages > Search: htdig. Deselect htdig. Accept, etc., Start Update. Installation continues. Prompted to write boot loader record (or something like that) to a floppy. There's no floppy drive on this PC. Clicked OK. Got an error. Forget how I responded. Eventually was able to select GRUB, and asked the installer to propose settings. Accepted them. Install ran to completion. Initial boot occurs. Omitted the internet connection test. Everything seems OK. Linux login prompt appears. I was never prompted to provide a root password, or to create any account. So I'm effectively locked out of this otherwise successful installation. -- 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.
