http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551627 Summary: Installer stumbles upon existing LVM VGroup Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug@novell.com ReportedBy: mathemat@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.7 (like Gecko) SUSE I just tried to install 11.2rc1 from a live (KDE) iso with a LVM setup; by clicking that option, the installer presents a setup with 2 partitions: one for /boot, and one for a "system" volume group, containing a "swap", "root", and "home" volume. The VG isn't using the whole HD, but that seems to be a "feature", as alvin told in <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550879>. So i let that thing do its astounding things and poked around in KDE4. After that, i of course wanted to make use of the whole disc, and decided to re-install from scratch. So i advised the installer (booted from LiveCD) to use sdc as a whole, and... After clicking "install", it took a while, bevore the installer stuttered something like "swap is in use, couldn't reorganize hd". I removed the sdc2 partition ("system" VG) using fdisc, and, same procedure, a few hours later, the installer told me, that it can't make use the "root" volume... Well then, back to the rough methods. I blanked tha disc (dd if=zero of=sdc) a few MBs, and then installation went flawlessly. Don't imagine how a dd-unaware penguin newbie should deal with this... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install from 112rc1(KDE)LiveCD using LVM 2. Reboot, reinstall (same medias), change LVM/Partition size Actual Results: Installer pops up an error and reboots; no working installation possible, before blanking the HD -- 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.
