https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216222 Summary: boot partition too small with lvm proposal Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: yast2-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: power-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com the 0x41 prep boot partition as created with 'use whole disk and remove existing partitions and also do a lvm proposal without extra home partition but no evms please' is only 8mb on a 40G IDE disk. The boot loader cant be installed because the kernel+initrd+booloader do not fit on an 8mb FAT partition. On SLES10 and earlier, if using 'whole disk', the 0x41 prep boot partition was around 16mb. inst-sys:~ # chroot /mnt su - -c lilo running on chrp Boot target is /dev/hda1 ERROR: Boot partition '/dev/hda1' cannot hold 24588 blocks inst-sys:~ # fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1 8001 41 PPC PReP Boot /dev/hda2 2 4864 39062047+ 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/dm-0: 21.4 GB, 21474836480 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/dm-1: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 261 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table inst-sys:~ # dd if=/dev/hda1 | wc -c 8193024 16002+0 records in 16002+0 records out 8193024 bytes (8.2 MB) copied, 0.336943 s, 24.3 MB/s inst-sys:~ # cat /mnt/etc/lilo.conf # Modified by YaST2.
