( Remarkable: first report for this bug was from 28.03.2010, yesterday was the 3 anniversary) Starting Situation: Hardware: Acer Aspire V3-771G Intel Core I7-3630M (64Bit) 32GB RAM HDD0 : Crucial Micron RealSSD C400 256GB (MTFDDAK256MAM) HDD1 : Toshiba MQ01ABD100 (1TB) On HDD0: a preinstalled Windows 8 on HDD0 on HDD1: formated by Windows 8 This was the original situation. I tried to install opensuse *12.2* on HDD1 by shortening the Windows-HDD1-partition and creating new EXT4-partitions and a swap partition. This installation failed. (known situation: see me original bug report 795838) After deleting Windows 8 and formating the hdds, the installation of suse 12.2 failed again ( same as 12.3, it tried it at this moment). (Because Installation F3->"Text mode" is not text mode, I can not tell you the reason.) I tried again with F5->save settings, than Installation on opensuse 12.2 works. After having installed opensuse 12.2 on hdd0 and parts of hdd1, I tried to install opensuse 12.3 on the free parts of hdd1 and got the same results as for the installation of 12.2. Conclusions: - After reading the discussion to this bug, I think, bugzilla should have an additional Status "annoyed by discussions" because "Resolved" normally means something different. - If it is not possible to repair bugs in a boot process in the time over 3 years, normally it would be a good reason to think about the general design. - Since 1996, I used Suse as 2. operation system behind Windows on different PCs. The installation has been easy ( at least since V 4.4.1) Today, one needs at least experience or better: insider knowledge to handle this. Good for winning new linux users ? - Maybe, there are reasons to use disk-by-id for fixed hdds, but until yet,I found none. For industrial use it's a curse. -- 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.
