The logs do not seem to be complete. Do still have that system? We need whole /var/log/YaST2 directory or you can use save_y2logs tool. -- 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.

So you need to compress the directory into the file, for example by calling 'tar -zcf y2logs.tgz /var/log/YaST2'. -- 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.

I added two new partitions (sda12 and sda13) since my openSuSE crash. Please note the values for new partition #13 (all zeros). That was exactly the same when I tried to install 12.1 only partition #11 was the last partition with all zero values. "fdisk" can't create new partitions and _neither_can_the_yast_partitioner_. I created the new partitions using "cfdisk". I don't know whether that helps, but before you go on a long bug-chase with lacking information I'd rather add it. Good luck. -- 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.

Yes, my original system is on sda5 (/), sda6 (/home) and sda7 (swap). It remained whole, since I tried to install to newly created sda10 (/) and sda11 (/home) with the old swap. Error message was that popup, saying "Yast module 'inst_finish' has failed" with an additional message saying somthing like "you might want to file a bug report". I'll look tonight or during the weekend whether I confounded those directories, but I'm quite sure I didn't. Reason: Then 11.4 /var/log/YaST2 directory contains 7 or 8 zipped yast2log1.gz files and many more others. But I uploaded only about 4 MB. -- 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.

AFAIR I started the install from the GRUB-splash screen, not from a fully booted system. I can do it your way, boot first and also establish an internet connection before I try to install from a running 12.1. An alternative would be doing it again from GRUB, after the crash getting a console, tar, mount the old system, save the tarball there and later boot 11.4 to upload the results.

That made me suspicious. So in the meantime I prepared a second USB-stick -- and installed successfully with exactly the same procedure. I'm honestly sorry, but I suppose it is all due to a faulty USB-stick (which never before caused any trouble). Now that should set one to think twice before complying with the summons to file a bug report. Again, I'm sorry to have caused unnecessary work and apologize to all involved.
