[Bug 427614] New: kiwi
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427614 Summary: kiwi Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Booting AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: enovak@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Hi Marcus, I hope it won't be a dupe, found no similar bugs here; I created a SLED10 SP2 USB-livestick system with kiwi under openSUSE 11.0. I installed the newest kiwi from factory, just to be sure it supports SP2 well. The usb stick does not boot on any computers: grub reports 'Error 2' and freezes. The problem is with grub and the ext3 partition's inode size. Kiwi formats the stick with 256 byte inode size, because that's the default setting for oS11.0. But SLE10's grub only supports 128 byte inode size. I either suggest a configuration variable to let kiwi use a different inode size, or a check whether the system to be created supports the inode size on the partition created by the OS. -- 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.

Therefore we introduced filesystem options and leave the default settings when running the mkfs tools. When building on a newer distro an image for an older distro the problem you have could come up You can solve this by calling kiwi with the following option: kiwi ... --fs-inodesize 128 this remembers me to update the manual page, but kiwi --help gives you some information about it -- 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.
