--- Comment #3 from andreas bittner 2007-10-04 10:35:38 MST ---
so i have attached two files here, y2log directory of another test on my
testsystem.
thistime i made a quicker and plain textmode installation.
installed x86 10.2 from dvd media, selected minimal textmode system for
installation.
i have created several partitions, first = swap, second = /boot
third = /
hda4 = extended for the whole rest of the hdd
hda5=usr
hda6=var
and hda7=opt
all inside the hda4 extened one.
filesystem was ext3 for everything
10.2 installation completed allright.
after that, i tried my upgrade of this minimalistic 10.2 system with the
opensuse 10.3 x86 dvd download media.
everything is still as i have described. the yast/install-module doesnt detect
the old 10.2 installation, you have to check show all partitions, to be able to
see /dev/hda3 for the old / (root) partition
then it asks exactly for two more partitions so that i point /dev/hdaX to
/dev/sdaX
it only asks for the old /usr and the old /opt partitions to point to the new
name.
and i suppose, that this is the big mistake.
the system upgrades the 10.2 packages to 10.3 ones without any visible
problems.
it tries to install the bootmanager and so forth, but fails there with grub.
end of story.
