The installation worked on 13.1 final if you wait long enough during the searching for linux partitions stage. I was trying to install 13.1 final and it stalled at searching linux partitions again. I forgot about the installation for a while but then I later noticed that the installation continued. I think it took about 20 minutes to get past the searching partitions step. This bug can be considered resolved, assuming people don't mind waiting 20 minutes for this step. -- 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.
