[Bug 896445] New: kiwi: Legacy grub partition only useful for x86
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896445 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896445#c0 Summary: kiwi: Legacy grub partition only useful for x86 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201408* Platform: aarch64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: ms@suse.com ReportedBy: agraf@suse.com QAContact: ms@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- When setting firmware=efi bootloader=grub2, kiwi automatically enables support for BIOS grub coexistence. However, on non-x86 platforms with EFI, there is no BIOS, so that partition does not make sense. Please restrict this "legacy" partition to x86 and x86_64 :). -- 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.

The closest location we can manage is 0cyl to 4cyl (sectors 2048..69631). If I run parted after the call above and ask it to show me the partition table, it shows (none):/ # parted /dev/sda [ 326.570958] sda: sda2 GNU Parted 3.1 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted!

The original report was about a not needed legacy bios_grub partition which was fixed according to the partition table shown in the last comment. There is no such partition anymore and the error you see is something different. If you don't mind open a new report for this one I'm pretty confused about the error message. kiwi tries to grow the root partition to the max. The values passed looks good to me even though I can only tell for sure with the complete /var/log/boot.kiwi log file. So the call: parted -a cyl -m -s /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AAKX-08U6AA0_WD-WCC2EUJ02251 unit cyl mkpart lxroot 2048s 60736 looks number wise ok to me but the error message from parted is confusing: The closest location we can manage is 0cyl to 4cyl (sectors 2048..69631). I'm sure the original size of the partition was already larger than 4cyl This sounds like complete nonsense to me Hope you don't mind I'm closing this one because it mixes different issues and the original report is 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.
