https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688518 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688518#c0 Summary: Bootloader installation to multipath device fails Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SLES 11 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: sean.stewart@lsi.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=425683) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=425683) Partitioning scheme used User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.204 Safari/534.16 When installing SLES11 SP1 on a device on an LSI storage array, with multipath active, the bootloader installation fails with a message saying that the specified device could not be found. It asks if you want to "retry bootloader configuration." If you say yes and then check the bootloader installation options, it will show that it is specified to install on the multipath "/dev/mapper/*" device. If I remove this and then add the sd device (example, /dev/sdb) and then retry the bootloader installation, the installation will complete. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start SLES11SP1 installation with a single LSI storage device mapped to the host, with two paths 2. Activate multipath during the installation and create root and swap partitions on the multipath device 3. Start the installation Actual Results: The bootloader installation fails, saying the specified device does not exist, and asks if you want to retry the configuration. Retrying the bootloader installation on the /dev/sd* device instead will allow it to work Expected Results: The bootloader should be able to be installed on the multipath device, since I/O to the multipath device should simply go to the active sd device. -- 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.
