From a mailing of Lars:

| Thank you for this. | | >From my point of view I have done a work around. | I did install 11.1 and the upgraded to 11.2 instead of using new install of | 11.2. | | However what I think had happen is that something got wrong when writing to | the disk during the configuration part. Probably more files are corrupted. | A clue might that I just at the end of the boot I get: | "Uhh, too many forks, PIDs got reused, we are confused at #### hald-runner | fork -####." | | Best Regards | Lars Koraeus I'd like to suppose to use the bugzilla interface otherwise it may happen that such mails will fade out due my large mail folders. Next point is that all readers of the bug should be able to read your comments in a clear order way in defined environment like bugzilla. Thank you. To your problem: Which file system(s)? you have choosen for which partitions. Do you have choosen an experimental file system? Then all readers should also know which partition layout you've choosen, that is that the root file system should be one partition (/bin, /etc, /tmp, /sbin, /lib, and /lib64) otherwise the system will not be able to boot in a correct way. Please provide your answer herein this bugzilla entry, thank you. -- 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.

It started with an attempt to install openSUSE 11.2rc2 _64 on a new and clean computer. I did partition the disk with 3 formatted primary partitions of 10GB each, of with partition 1 was used as /. In the Ext container I made a /home and a /local. Everything with ext4. No problems. Did use it for 2 weeks. I do not know all the smaller problems with the desktops and widgets. Seems to lose some configurations from time to time. Then when 11.2 was released I did make a new install in part 2 as root and with a new clean /home but with the old /local. Still everything with ext4. The first installation phase did not show any sign of problems. A reboot and an auto configuration. After writing all the configurations to disc the problems started during the continued booting. As the computer is fairly fast it was difficult to read. But as I understand all errors was about unknown user or group names. Then the computer hangs with a message saying the installation failed. Power of the only way out. Tried again, now with an update. During the auto-configuration I did have the register the first user again. Then the configuration was written to the system followed by the same problem as before. The error messages and the fact I had to register the first user once again made me start the rc2 and look at the password, shadow and group files in part 2 /etc. They did exist but was empty (0), and so was the corresponding YaST.save as well. I copied the .install versions. Rebooted to part 2 and started in runlevel 3. Added a password to the root and created the first user. After init 5 a new hang. I did make a new install in part 2 but with a minimal graphic system. Same as before, but the xdm come up. In the console window I saw a lot of errors. All user or group related. I did make a server installation. At the login I did get an error message like this: “Uhh, too many forks, PIDs get reused, we are confused XXX hald-runner XXX fork -512” I did have the feeling that several more files probably were empty.. So I did make an 11.1 installation on partition 3 and now with ext3 for the root and home file system. No problems and it seemed to work OK. I made an upgrade to 11.2. This was successful and now it works with some exceptions. I cannot logout or shift to the console. Then it hangs. Also I from time to time lose desktop and widget configs. I also have made 11.2 installations on 32 bits VIA and Intels computers as well. All computers seam to have problems with keeping configs from time to time.

From here on it goes for all our computers.

I.E. only ONE single line in a widget setting of a customtz=true to customtz=false in .kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc, is the difference between a total hanging system and a working one. Missing configs here. ?? is this Linux? Or have I got a Windows in the shape of Linux?? Another example Sometimes it get problems in boot.localfs. It hangs on the fsck for the first fsck ( now an ext3 partition). All other instances of fsck works. I can stop it with ctrl-D. Then I come to a mismatch of repair file system prompt and a login prompt. Another ctrl-D gives me then the KDM and I can log in but not with KDE because only the root file system is mounted. after a mount -a everything is OK again. Yet another curiosity. I had the understanding that it did not matter in which order you had the lines in the fstab before. They were still mounted in correct order if there was some dependencies. Now it seems that mount -a need to have the lines in mounting order. I have got the feeling that there is some problem with writing to a file. All my problems seems to have one thing in common and that is incompletely disk writing and sometimes it hangs when writing to a file. I hope this is what "needed" -- 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.
