This works with previous openSUSE versions. Autoyast creates the partitions for the software raid and the md device correctly and is able to install, but when rebooting for second stage the kernel is not bootable because autoyast determined the wrong partition. The additionally installed custom kernel is configured as in the control file and is bootable (but not used for second stage). Editing the grub menu manually and booting leads to successful completion of the autoinstallation but the openSUSE and failsafe entries in grub.conf will still be wrong. The disk setup is: 2 swap partitions on sda1 and sdb1, md0 with raid1 on sda2 and sdb2. Result: Autoyast consistently configures grub to boot the default openSUSE kernel from (hd0,0) which leads grub to stop at "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" when looking for the kernel image. This bug may be related to #619837 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use an autoyast control file with the attached xml parts included -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

BTW autoyast takes a remarkable amount of time for the "configuring bootloader" phase, but it is not evident from y2log what it is doing or why it chooses the wrong partition. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Created an attachment (id=392832) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=392832) [details] y2logs as requested

Attached y2logs as requested.

Logs are from a demo installation in VirtualBox.

To get a finished installation at all, grub was manually made to boot from partition 1, not from random partition 7632 as configured by autoyast.

Thanks for logs. Now it is clear that it is not related to autoyast. It is general error when using 11.3, MD array and persistent device names. I already post update to update channel. So if you want to install with fix, you must enable update channel during installation and use the newest perl-Bootloader. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 626132 *** http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626132 -- 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.
