[Bug 263883] New: Installation in VMware-Server fails
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263883 Summary: Installation in VMware-Server fails Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rhafer@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I just tried to install 10.3-alpha3 in a VMWare-Server VM. It failed with an error message that no harddrive was found for Installation. The german error message is: "Es wurden keine Festplatten für die Installation gefunden. Bitte prüfen Sie Ihre Hardware." Of course there is a virtual Harddisk configured in VMWare. I had already an openSUSE 10.2 installed there. I'll attach some logfiles that might help to debug the problem. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Workaround: Use an IDE Disk instead of the SCSI disk.
yes, that seems to work, where this a bug lies ? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263883 ------- Comment #6 from rccj@ricreig.com 2007-04-13 16:03 MST ------- Alpha 1 and 2 did NOT exhibit this bug. This is new for Alpha 3. I downloaded (using Ktorrent) the Alpha 3 release and burned a DVD on a running VMWare Alpha 2 machine and rebooted the server and with the intent to select 'update', however the installation software reported no drives found. Rebooting (under VMWare Server) to the existing Alpha 2 installation verified the DVD as correct and had no problem with any of the disk diagnostics on the virtual drives. Conclusion: Alpha 3 installation has a problem detecting the SCSCI drives. I did create a virtual IDE drive which WAS detected but the SCSCI drives remained undetected. I cannot therefore test Alpha 3 using VMWare which has never before failed with any version of SUSE or any other Linux or Windows OS previously. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Or you can patch your kernel with this patch I posted some time ago: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/748285 I'm not sure whether this patch does not have any negative interactions with real (especially fibre-channel) MPT adapters, so I do not think that it is acceptable for stock kernel (there must have been some reason why old code used 16, while new code asks adapter how many targets are there). -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

But the code should handle that properly.
