http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=535113 Summary: oemboot mis-detection Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mmeeks@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I image my 4+Gb USB image to my (fast) Sandisk drive in some SATA <-> USB caddy or other. The oem imaging system boots, and then we get: Found boot device: /dev/sdb Searching for USB stick device....... Searching for USB stick failed, checking CD/DVD drive Waiting for CD/DVD device(s) to appear.......... Failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drive ! rebootException: error consoles at ... I check the console, and I see: ++ cat /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb-storage/....../sdb/removable + removable=0 This seems to be a lie - I can un-plug the USB cable pretty easily ;-) But - the question is - why should we have to image -from- some removable media ? surely since we have /dev/sdb mounted, and we just booted from it, and the data is there - we know enough ? :-) Or - failing that, can we not guess that a usb device is in fact removable ? :-) Thanks. -- 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.
