[Bug 557019] New: with LVM the maximum size of boot-partition is too small for choosing XEN
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557019 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557019#c0 Summary: with LVM the maximum size of boot-partition is too small for choosing XEN Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ureumsc@web.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; de) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.01 Fresh Installation into an empty 35,8 GB logical partition using LVM: The system creates a boot-partition which has a maximum size of 70,57 MB. In addition to the default software packages I added Console tools, GNOME Basic System, C++ Development, Linux Kernel Development and XEN Virtual Machine Host Server. Then the system complained that within /boot there are only 12 MB free space which is not enough. When I remove XEN Virtual Machine Host Server the complaint is gone. This happens for the 32-bit system and the 64-bit system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Several times I started the installation from fresh. Expected Results: It should be possible to enlarge the boot partition. But when I create a bigger partition before the installation (say 100 MB) then the system refuses to use it. Computer: Dell Dimension 9200 Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2.40 GHz (1066 MHz frontside bus) 2 GB main memory Intel ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller The computer has only one hard disk which means no real RAID Intel 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection on main board At the end I used partition based setup instead of LVM. But then the system was unable to connect to the internet (but it recognized the hardware). With openSUSE 11.0 that worked without any problems. So I went back to 11.0 - sorry. -- 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.

They were continuous and located within the extended partition. Therefore the 11.2-installation went into an empty part of the disk, not into an empty 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.

We could have two parameters, "minimal boot size" and "suggested boot size", to remedy this problem. The "minimal boot size" is required for existing partitions while the "suggested boot size" would be used for newly created ones. We must know the value for "suggested boot size". The value for "minimal boot size" is architecture depended and varies between 5 and 200 MB. -- 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.
