https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333753#c6 --- Comment #6 from Occo Eric Nolf <oen@dsl.pipex.com> 2007-10-20 08:22:51 MST --- Right, here is what happened ... - performed a fresh internet install, formatting existing partitions for /, /boot, and swap, and specifying mount points for the existing partition for /home and for 3 partitions used by XP - installation failed like before, due to failure to write initrd - using vim, edited file /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-storage.sh changing local retval=$(cat /proc/partitions | egrep "^[ ]*$major[ ]*$minor") to local retval=$(cat /proc/partitions | egrep "^[ ]*$major[ ]*$minor ") - ran mkinitrd, resulting in familiar messages: Bootloader::Library::SetLoaderType: Initialization for unknown bootloader Bootloader::Core::ListFiles: Running generic function, it should never be called Bootloader::Core::ParseLines: Running generic function, it should never be called - didn't manage to resume the installation, re-booted system - didn't get anywhere using GRUB, got the installed system to boot using an installation DVD - got error messages all over the place: all partitions, except /, invalid because of missing superblocks - got kdm started in 10.3 and had a look at the partitioner: it didn't show any of the existing partitions except / - re-installed 10.2 using an installation DVD, the partitioner had no problem loading the correct partition table and all existing partitions! ---------------- Unless I did something wrong, the patch for #334461 is not the solution for this bug. There seems to be a fundamental problem with RAID0+1 in version 10.3 ... the fact that the partitioners of 10.2 and 10.3 come up with completely different partition tables seems to confirm this.
