I have added a new logical partition sda10 after shrinking the existing partition sda9. The intention is to boot from sda10 via chainloader which is already installed on sda1. So I disabled the checkbox "booting from extended" and enabled "booting from root". But again I got an unbootable system because something marked the extended partition as bootable. stein-schneider:~ # blkid /dev/sda1: LABEL="BOOT" UUID="fba4702a-611d-401f-831e-25a9c06cd694" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda2: UUID="a63b115d-b0b9-43a7-99dd-e13c4ee6ec8c" TYPE="swap" /dev/sda5: LABEL="SLES10" UUID="c74fb44c-7056-4227-bfb6-0ebc5e888fa2" TYPE="reiserfs" /dev/sda6: LABEL="SLES11" UUID="0f396d50-29a3-4258-aa9a-677311a9d0a0" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda7: LABEL="sles11_backup" UUID="f8959fdd-e8c8-4c01-8e83-18ae2c2c6987" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda8: LABEL="sles11_clean" UUID="b9addce1-27ce-4100-896d-c4ec3ef851e3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda9: LABEL="ABUILD" UUID="33863c7b-2ddf-4639-8e24-226ce8aa751b" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda10: LABEL="11.4" UUID="2cf353b0-ad5b-4de1-a69c-0630943882c8" TYPE="ext4" /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop1: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop3: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop4: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop7: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop8: TYPE="squashfs" stein-schneider:~ # stein-schneider:~ # parted /dev/sda unit GiB print Model: ATA GB0160EAFJE (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 149GiB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 0.00GiB 0.18GiB 0.18GiB primary ext2 type=83 2 0.18GiB 2.05GiB 1.87GiB primary linux-swap(v1) type=82 3 2.05GiB 149GiB 147GiB extended boot, type=85 5 2.05GiB 11.4GiB 9.33GiB logical reiserfs type=83 6 11.4GiB 20.7GiB 9.33GiB logical ext3 type=83 7 20.7GiB 30.0GiB 9.33GiB logical ext3 type=83 8 30.0GiB 39.4GiB 9.33GiB logical ext3 type=83 9 39.4GiB 108GiB 69.0GiB logical ext3 type=83 10 108GiB 128GiB 20.0GiB logical ext4 type=83 Will attach logs once I get the system back... -- 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.
