[Bug 783395] New: YaST2 fails to install boot loader onto MDADM controlled imsm RAID10, KDE live DVD x86_64
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783395 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783395#c0 Summary: YaST2 fails to install boot loader onto MDADM controlled imsm RAID10, KDE live DVD x86_64 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jensting@tingleff.org QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=508156) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=508156) all files in /var/log/YaST2, tar -cz User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1 I have an existing Linux installation on a single RAID10 drive and I keep the partitions. YaST2 recognises the disk and partitions. I have an extended partition /dev/md126p3 with a logical partition (for /boot) on /dev/md126p8 and a logical volume for the main operating system lv_root. The only thing that looks bad during installation is that the status page (after disk setup before installation) shows /dev/md126p3 as the target for the bootloader. On reboot, I get "No Operating System" as the only output on a blank screen. The installer log files (all of them) as a tar -cz file are attached Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start install from KDE Live DVD x86_64 2. select logical partition on mdadm drive as /boot and logical volume for / 3. observe the extended partition holding the /boot logical partition as bootloader install target. 4. allow to continue and get disappointment on first reboot Actual Results: "No Operating System" Expected Results: boot -- 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.

Since BIOS is handling RAID10 functionality in this case, it should also be to boot from it. No real idea why it fails in this case. Bootloader setup could be wrong for this case. It is also possible that BIOS is unable to boot from an extended partition. We do not have such a machine available so we cannot verify what really works and what does not. -- 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.

It also boots fine when I install another Linux system on it (Fedora 16, in this case). -- 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.
