https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333753#c18 --- Comment #18 from Occo Eric Nolf <oen@dsl.pipex.com> 2007-11-13 10:09:55 MST --- Sorry, but I think this has become a farce by now. We're talking about a faulty installation script, making it impossible to install 10.3 on every system running on nVraid 0+1. I'm not sure how many users are hit by this, but it must be a lot more than the few posting to this thread. Yet, no reaction at all for weeks on end ... I don't think that's acceptable, the more so because all posters to this thread clearly tried to supply the developers with the information they might need. Let's face it: fakeraid is not exactly new; it has been around for years now. I know it's not ideal, but without investing in pretty expensive hardware solutions it's the only way to run dual-boot systems on raid. The 10.2 release, at last, provided installation scripts to install on fakeraid. But now, in the 10.3 release, a major step backwards is introduced: no way to install on fakeraid, and no apparent effort to change this situation. I've been running Windows and Linux on dual-boot systems for many years, due to the fact that some things are just not (yet) feasible in Linux. For instance, the lack of a macro facility as in M$ Office is not available in Linux, so unless one wants to go to great lengths to achieve the same result in Linux it makes more sense to keep a Windows installation available for specific tasks. Running 2 operating systems is not ideal, but can be done. However, the current problems with 10.3 force me to run THREE operating systems in my network: Windows, openSuse 10.3 on some machines, and 10.2 on the main system as 10.3 won't install on it. That's just too much - and downgrading the other machines to 10.2 is no option either, as that would mean returning to the 10.2 update problems which appear to have been solved in the 10.3 release. Sadly there is no alternative solution, as no other distribution seems to include decent installation scripts for fakeraid. What I never thought possible is now actually becoming reality: I'm on the brink of scrapping Linux, because by now keeping Linux systems running is taking far more time than I can afford to spend on it.
