Seeems to me errors in the automatic installation of grub, identification of the partitions... -- 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.

The solution is not to mount devices by name, but rather use by-id or by-label. I'm afraid that this is the only way to prevent such situations. Is there any reason not to use it? ad Alberto: As long as the device names are correct, what's wrong in your case is the mapping between the disks. The installer can only guess the order of the disks (as it depends on your BIOS settings, which is different once you boot from CD). That's why you have the possibility to review the disks order. There is hardly anything we can do about it. -- 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.

The only reason is that I didn't know it was possible to choose the by-<what> during installation ;-)

During partitioning of disk you can set type of persistent device names. There is button "FSTAB settings" or something like that and after click on it is open pop-up windows where you can specify type of persistent device name for partition what is actually creating in fstab and also for y2-bootloader.

Second reason is that I expected the defaults to work.

Why doesn't YaST use by-id in grub/menu.lst by default? It should probably use by default at least in a case when the persistence of disk names is "uncertain", which is pretty much every time there is more than a single disk in the system. Or at the very least YaST should detect such a situation and recommend the use of by-id names to the user.

The default settings is to use persistent device name (by-id) there was a bug the uuid names were not know after proposal in y2-staroge and it was cause why it doesn't work but Milestone 6 should includes fix and all types of persistent device names should work again now. -- 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.
