[Bug 216222] New: boot partition too small with lvm proposal
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216222 Summary: boot partition too small with lvm proposal Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: yast2-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: power-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com the 0x41 prep boot partition as created with 'use whole disk and remove existing partitions and also do a lvm proposal without extra home partition but no evms please' is only 8mb on a 40G IDE disk. The boot loader cant be installed because the kernel+initrd+booloader do not fit on an 8mb FAT partition. On SLES10 and earlier, if using 'whole disk', the 0x41 prep boot partition was around 16mb. inst-sys:~ # chroot /mnt su - -c lilo running on chrp Boot target is /dev/hda1 ERROR: Boot partition '/dev/hda1' cannot hold 24588 blocks inst-sys:~ # fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1 8001 41 PPC PReP Boot /dev/hda2 2 4864 39062047+ 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/dm-0: 21.4 GB, 21474836480 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/dm-1: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 261 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table inst-sys:~ # dd if=/dev/hda1 | wc -c 8193024 16002+0 records in 16002+0 records out 8193024 bytes (8.2 MB) copied, 0.336943 s, 24.3 MB/s inst-sys:~ # cat /mnt/etc/lilo.conf # Modified by YaST2.

No problem to change that but there are other pretty small numbers for other boot partitions too, here is an excerpt of the code please specify what to change: minimal_needed_bootsize = 64 * 1024 * 1024; if( Arch::ia64() ) { minimal_needed_bootsize = 200*1024*1024; } else if( Arch::board_chrp() ) { minimal_needed_bootsize = 16*1024*1024; } else if( Arch::board_prep() ) { minimal_needed_bootsize = 5*1024*1024; } else if( Arch::board_iseries() ) { minimal_needed_bootsize = 8*1024*1024; } else if( Arch::board_mac() ) { minimal_needed_bootsize = 32*1024*1024; } } -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
