I started a fresh installation with MS8 and forgot to take out the DVD from the second DVD drive. I got an error message that the repository can't be added. I took the second DVD out, and the process continued. In that moment I didn't check the software to be installed and continued. The installer continued normally, until I got a message that Grub couldn't be installed. After that the system was unbootable (and couldn't not be made bootable with the MS8 DVD, I needed to use the 11.0 DVD). After making my system bootable again I tried again to see what went wrong and I realized that there was no software to be installed found at all. 1) Why doesn't the installer check for accessing the drive with the openSuse DVD? 2) the installer should not install grub or anything else if no repository was found and :-) if grub is installed, it should not fail :-) I'm aware that this touches probably more than this bug, please tell me if I should write separate bug reports for the installer and grub or if this is well here.

Please attach the yast logfiles (see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST). If you took the second media out of the drive and installation continued without restarting yast, the logs were copied to your system. You can collect them with: save_y2logs /tmp/y2logs.tgz Then attach /tmp/y2logs.tgz. -- 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.
