https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335954 Summary: Installation - Yast does not detect one of my 2 harddisks Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug@novell.com ReportedBy: f.leerink@hccnet.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other Hello, I have an older Dyme Computer, Pentium 2, 386 MB of Memory, a CD-drive, a DVD-drive and 2 harddisks. The master harddisk is a 6.1 GB WDC-AC36400L-(PM) The slave harddisk is a 74.5 GB WDC-WD800JB-00JJ With the help of the GParted live-CD I have deleted all partitions on both drives and created the following new ones intended for SAM-Linux (hda1, hda2 and hdb1) and openSUSE 10.3 (hda1, hdb1, hdb2 and hdb3) On the 6.1 GB harddisc: /dev/hda1 0.1 GB ext3 to become /boot /dev/hda2 5.9 GB ext3 to become / 0.1 GB unallocated On the 75.4 GB harddisc: /dev/hdb1 2.0 GB linux-swap /dev/hdb2 15.0 GB ext3 to become / /dev/hdb3 30.0 GB ext3 to become /home 28.4 GB unallocated The openSUSE 10.3 install started normally. I could see on the detail screen that the system could select from: ata-piix, piix, ata-generic and generic drivers and selected the ata-piix On the installation settings overview screen I selected "Partitioning", since the suggested partitioning did not use the /boot partition nor the the other already created partitions. On the suggested partitioning screen I selected "Create Custom Partition Set Up". On the preparing hard disk - step 1 screen the system showed: 1 IDE 74.5 GB, /dev/sda WDC-WD800JB-00JJ 2 Custom Partitioning for experts I selected Custom Partitioning for experts. On the following "Expert Partitioning screen the system shows only: 1 /dev/sda 74.5 GB WDC-WD800JB-00JJ 2 /dev/sda1 2.0 GB linux-swap 3 /dev/sda2 15.0 GB linux-native 4 /dev/sda3 30.0 GB linux-native -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335954#c2 --- Comment #2 from Frans Leerink 2007-10-23 07:39:09 MST --- Hello, Further investigation turned out that installing with boot option: hwprobe=-modules.pata (I found this in the release notes) solved my problem. At least in the installation setup I could see both harddisks and select the partitions and mount points as needed. The system is still installing but I go from the assumption that it is oke now. If not I will post an additional Comment Regards, Frans -- 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.

Also, I'm lowering the severity for two reasons: The first is that once a product is released, the "Blocker" severity is meaningless. The second is that you've found a workaround.

The installation is successfully finished. I add this comment because I have forgotten to mention that with the hwprobe boot parameter the following changed The openSUSE 10.3 install started normally.

Can you please boot with the installation media without the parameter to disable libata modules and do the following? 1. after installation system finishes to load, switch to command console by pressing ctrl-alt-f9. This will give you a shell. 2. mount a usb disk or filesystem on the recognized harddrive to /mnt by running "mount /dev/sdX /mnt". You need to load ext3 module if you wanna mount a ext3fs. 3. Run the following commands. # cp /var/log/boot.msg /mnt # hwinfo --all > /mnt/hwinfo.log # dmesg > /mnt/dmesg.log 4. unmount the file system. "umount /mnt" 5. reboot into installed system and post the three files created in #3.

Without the boot parameter my 1st harddisk is not recognized and hence the partitions on the second harddisk are called /dev/sda1 - sda2 and sda3 and of course I could not select my /boot partition on the 1st harddisk during openSUSE 10.3 install without the boot parameter. I just rebooted the system to come off that "ctrl-alt-f9" console and to end the installation.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335954#c13 --- Comment #13 from Frans Leerink 2007-11-01 11:21:39 MST --- Hello Tejun, I am doing a new install on the same machine with passing the following parameter to the installer boot menu: Options="libata=ignore_hpa=0" This indeed makes that also the 1st harddrive was detected by the installer. I could correctly select the /boot partition on the 1st drive and the other partitions on the 2nd drive. Everything went fine until the reboot from harddisk, via the install CD. At rebooting it complains again that a partition on 1st drive being unknown or corrupt. By pressing Ctrl/D I am back on the bootscreen from the install CD from where the system normally would select automatically "Boot from Hard Disk". What should I do from here to provide you with needed info or is the situation clear for you. If I need to do something please reply ASAP Regards, Frans -- 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.
