[Bug 732673] New: windows 7 SP1 and openSUSE12.1 parallel installation fail with error code -1007
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732673 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732673#c0 Summary: windows 7 SP1 and openSUSE12.1 parallel installation fail with error code -1007 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: melchiaros@aol.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=463994) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=463994) only a screenshot User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 I´ve tried a parallel installation in Virtualbox4.1.6. First Windows7 SP1 engl. 64bit debug version was installed. Second openSUSE12.1 64bit should be installed on the same virtual harddrive. I´ve choosen ext4 with separate home partition. During preparing the virtual harddrive I get the error code 1007 for /hde/sda5 A can only provide a screenshot. To handle it with nfs for getting yast2 logs from installation I have not the time in moment. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Windows 7 Sp1 engl. debug version 64bit on virtualbox 4.1.6 with 80GB dynamical .vdi virtula harddrive. 2.Shutdown the vm after install successes. 3.Attach drive with openSUSE12.1 final 64bit dvd in virtualbox vm settings for the windows 7 machine. 4.Try to install openSUSE12.1 64bit with ext4 and separate home partition(default) -> Shrinking the windows partition is automatically done by the openSUSE installation environment. 7.See the parallel installation fail with eroor code 1007 Actual Results: A parallel installation between Windows 7 Sp1(first OS) and openSUSE12.1(second OS) is not possible. Expected Results: A parallel installation should be possible without errors. A reproduction should be easy and because of virtualbox usage system independent. -- 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.

Like I´ve wrote:"A reproduction should be easy and because of virtualbox usage system independent." -> would be fine when you set it up in background. Could be also more useful when you have it all by you. And microsoft gives test versions out as far as I know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you stay on that I have to provide ... it may take 2 or 3 weeks to have time for. -> It´s not bad will, it is on full days. -- 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.

Accepted the openSUSE installer's suggenstion to shrink the Windows partition and create a swap (sda5) plus a root partition (sda6) for Linux, without a separate home partition. When the installer returned error -1007 I switched to a different text console, ran fdisk and saw that only sda5 had been created, and fdisk said: "Partition 5 does not start on a physical sector boundary." In fdisk I deleted sda5 which had been created by the installer, and created sda5 and sda6 manually using the size proposed by the installer for the swap partition in sda5, and the remaining disk space for sda6. Then rebooted the installation system and modified the suggested partitioning such that they are only formatted and mounted. Then the rest of the installation went flawlessly. I don't know which tool is used by the installation system to suggest the partitioning and actually change the partitions at the beginning of the installation, but obviously there's something wrong with the installation system, maybe only with certain hard disk drive parameters. In any case I don't find it very user-friendly just to chage this bug to "NEEDINFO" if the reporter of the bug has already told how the problem can easily be duplicated. If you google for "opensuse installation 1007" you find a number of reports that this could already happen with OS 11.4, so someone who is familiar with the installer stuff should really have a look at this to track this down so that it can be fixed. -- 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.
