Failure occurred during following action: Creating raid partition isw_ ghaaceed_Volume0_part1 System error code was: -1008 The error occurred when trying to install the same OS on existing, previously created RAID 0 volume, without deleting RAID volume or resetting disks to non-RAID. Hardware configuration: PC with main board DP35DPM (ICH9R) 2 SAMSUNG HDD 250GB connected to SATA0 and SATA1 channel DVD ROM connected to SATA5 channel Steps to reproduce: Enter OROM Connected disks are reported in OROM as: SAMSUNG HD250HJ S0URJDPP900726 232.9GB SAMSUNG HD250HJ S0URJDPP900736 232.9GB Choose "Create RAID Volume" Enter following configuration Name: Volume0 RAID Level: RAID0 (Stripe) Disks: Select Disks (not configurable) Strip Size: 128KB Capacity: 465.8 GB Install OS with standard configuration and partitions layout: /boot partition on /dev/mapper/ isw_xxxxxxxx_Volume0 with size 100MB and file system ext3 (as Primary Partition) swap partition on /dev/mapper/ isw_ xxxxxxxx _Volume0 with size 4096MB (as Primary Partition) / partition on /dev/mapper/ isw_ xxxxxxxx _Volume0 with remaining hdd capacity and file system ext3 (as Primary Partition) Installation proceeded without and any problems and OS looks stable. Perform next installation test on the same HW setup. Do not change RAID OROM configuration. Installation procedure steps are as described below (after PC restart). 2. Steps executed during OS installation 2.1. During installation click Partitioning 2.2. Choose Create Custom Partition Setup 2.3. Choose Custom Partition.

During formatting and partition manipulation process error occurred and installation failed. Failure occurred during following action: Creating raid partition isw_ ghaaceed_Volume0_part1 System error code was: -1008 After PC restart installation process was repeated with deleting RAID Volume in OROM and creating it again. After this installation has successfully ended. It seems that before any installation procedures all previously created RAID Volumes have to be deleted in OROM even if user is going to create the same configuration or use existed one. -OS Patch Level : Beta 3 -Chipset: ICH9 -CRB: Intel DP35DPM -BIOS/OROM: DPP3510J.86A.0276 -- 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.
