https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=388015 Summary: Windows partitions cannot be mounted at installation process Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jimdusis@yahoo.gr QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer Hi comrades! Yesterday I downloaded openSuSE 11 beta 2 Live CD with KDE4 x86_64 system. I booted normally at the Live environment and pressed install icon, everything was great autodetected, little things I did the system recognized all my partitons on both sata disks I have running on an SB700 AMD southchip, format my old root partition, mount my old home partition as /home and my swap correctly. Also It autodetected my 2 windows partitions the one which windows is installed in and signed a mount point /windows/C and the fat32 one at the 2nd disk which is single partitioned to keep my media filew you know and read/write it from both OSes I made it fat32 sometime ago when I installed suse 10.3. It gave it the mountpoint /windows/D which is again correct. But when I said it is OK to proceed at the dialog it moynts all the linux partitions and when comes to windoze ones it pops up a dialog window saying: Error -3003 no mountpoint found at fstab or mtab and some more things which I don't remember now and installation stops there!! It throws you back to Live environment! The workaround I used to install the Live CD was not to set mountpoints for my 2 windows filesystem partitions at the beginning (meaning I used advanced partition settings) and I managed to mount them via YaST after I installed the system. But it is really annoying not to say almost blocker for a newbie friend... -- 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.
