Started it, created an lvm setup (ref: udev deletes device nodes). /boot is 200MB, not under LVM, all the others including / is. Complete install goes OK, the initial boot linux does also works OK. However, when you do a complete cold boot, it will report No operating system found. No grub or whatever. I can boot the system by using the usb stick again, with some fiddling etc. yast2 bootloader ran again -- no errors. Creating an initrd spews out Perl-Bootloader <date/time> ERROR UDEVMAPPING: dmdev /dev/dm-0 doesn''t have defined DM_NAME in udev. What other info do you need....

I found out that the /boot partition and the lvm were not at the end/start of a cylinder boundary. I finally took the shot to edit the /boot partition to end on a cylinder. LVM still starts halfway a cylinder. I again installed the OS, imported all the mount points and now it boots without problems out of the box. The partitioning was made with the openSUSE setup initially so probably the overlap was made during install when I choose a size of approx 200 MB for boot. This caused /boot to end somewhere on cylinder 25 and LVM started somewhere on 25 as well. Forced cylinder for /boot on 24 and now works. If this indeed was the problem, it might be worthwhile to add a sanity check somewhere in the future? -- 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 was done for performance reasons on SSD and hard disks with 4kB physical sectors. Apparently the BIOS of your eeePC can not handle (is broken) the new alignment. You can select cylinder alignment in the expert partitioner in the setting dialog. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 597723 *** http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597723 -- 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.
