https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343900 Summary: Installation not possible because do_proposal_flexible.ycp loops endlessly Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.wachowski@gmx.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer Created an attachment (id=184622) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=184622) The y2log output referred to in the description Background: I am trying to install OpenSuSE 10.3 on my laptop (via network install from the ISO on my desktop computer; OpenSuSE 10.2 is already installed; 10.3 shall be installed in parallel). YaST starts up normally, I can enter basic information (keyboard layout, timezone, etc.), but YaST hangs endlessly upon determining a partitioning proposal. I don't need a proposal, anyway, but can't interrupt the process without aborting the installation completely. Apparently (see attached y2log), do_proposal_flexible.ycp (revision 39878) starts to loop: Lines 3441 (containing "process_partition_data e") to 3610 are repeated in lines 3611 to 3780, and so on (having said that, I am not sure if line 3441 is really the start of the loop). "fdisk -l /dev/hda" shows the following: Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3648 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 4 32098+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 22 39 144585 83 Linux /dev/hda3 40 831 6361740 5 Extended /dev/hda5 40 769 5863693+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 770 831 497983+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris 10.2 is installed on hda1 (/boot) and hda5 (/), 10.3 would be installed in hda2 (/boot) and a yet to be created partition for /. -- 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.
