I get kernel install for kernel-desktop and point root to / in mount point I see: Mount point: / ; Device: /dev/disk/by-label/10factory For this device I get from udev this information: /dev/disk/by-label/10factory -> /dev/sda10 and /dev/sda10 is for me 10th partition so it is hd0,9. So what is wrong in computation? Mount point parsing or udev information? -- 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.

In disks_sda.info you can see (the / target) sda19 has no uuid, which is because it is newly created and unformatted. In mkinitrd.log line 49 shows [MOUNT] Root:...part19. Iny2log_bootloader you can see point to (hd0,19) for grub installation to /. So as you can see in the logs for initial installation everything seems to have gone as expected. It is only after first boot and 'zypper in kernel-desktop' that somehow the new kernel-desktop gets pointed to the 11.2 partition (hd0,9) instead of the current / partition (hd0,18). I don't know what went wrong in computation, whether parsing or udev. -- 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.

I found where is problem. When you add desktop kernel fstab looks like this: fstab: /dev/sda1 /hpfs/C hpfs noexec,case=asis,umask=0,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda3 /disks/C msdos dmask=0000,fmask=0111,user,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda6 /disks/E msdos dmask=0000,fmask=0111,user,rw,noauto 0 0 LABEL=113M6 / ext3 noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 1 LABEL=07boot /disks/boot ext2 noatime,acl 1 2 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST380215A_9QZ3XSF2-part8 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=10factory /disks/suse112 ext3 noatime,noauto,noacl 0 0 LABEL=12home /home ext3 noatime,acl 1 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/sda9 /disks/cooker ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 LABEL=10factory / ext3 noatime,noacl 1 1 /dev/sda11 /disks/rawhide ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda13 /srv ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda14 /usr/local ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda15 /disks/kubuntu ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 LABEL=16suse111 /disks/suse111 ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 LABEL=17mdv2009 /disks/mdv2009 ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 LABEL=S80A2-suse113 /disks/suse113 ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 LABEL=S80A2-knoppix /disks/knoppix ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 LABEL=S80A2-suse92 /disks/suse92 ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 LABEL=S80A2-usrsrc /usr/src ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 LABEL=S80A2-pub /pub ext3 noatime,noacl,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda24 /hpfs/F hpfs noexec,case=asis,umask=0,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda25 /hpfs/G hpfs noexec,case=asis,umask=0,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda26 /hpfs/H hpfs noexec,case=asis,umask=0,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda27 /hpfs/I hpfs noexec,case=asis,umask=0,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda28 /hpfs/J hpfs noexec,case=asis,umask=0,ro,noauto 0 0 without net devices. Please see that there is twice entry for '/' (second one is one with LABEL=10factory). Perl-Bootloader read fstab and assign to hash, so it use second one isntead of first. Do you manually modify fstab? Do you have idea where this record comes? -- 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.

This I always have to do anyway because installer never does HPFS or MSDOS partitions to work right, plus I need a long list of NFS and CIFS entries. Then I did sloppy error checking during the manual fixup. Normally I rearrange entries so that all appear in partition number order. Here I failed to do that, with the result of that duplication of a / mountpoint that would have been non-fatal if I had sorted, since the current / on 19 should have been after that / on 10. This bit me on first reboot after kernel-desktop install, as the wrong partition was getting mounted on /, and many things were behaving inexplicably until I found out why and fixed fstab. This would not have happened if installer picked the kernel-desktop in the first place. What's triggering use of kernel-default instead of kernel-desktop on initial installation? -- 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.
