https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384522 Summary: Installation stops with message "An error occurred during initrd creation" Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mikecoan@woodlawnfoundation.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer Tried 3 different installs. One with KDE4 and a 40GB hard drive partitioned as swap=sda1, / as sda2, and /storage as sd5, sda2 and sda5 formateed as ext3 One with same partitions as above but tried a minimal X install. The third try i repartitioned and set up sda2 as a 200MB /boot partition formatted as ext2, then had sda4 as / and sda5 as /storage. All three installs (actually I tried the first one twice for a total of 4 installs) failed at the same point during Saving boot loader configuration with the error message "An error occurred during initrd creation" It gave me the option to retry, which I did. that brought me to a screen to add something or other, perhaps a grub configuration. Didn't know what to do at that point. I rebooted and tried the repair option from the 11.0 Beta1 DVD. This went through various options and t one point said the kernel-default 2.6.24-rc9 (if I rememeber correctly) isn't installed. Do you want to install. i said yes, the at some point that gave an error message related to invaild UI parameter. A little later it too gave the error message regarding unable to create initrd. The system is an oldere AMD Athlon 32 bit system with 1 GB of RAM and a 40GB hard drive. -- 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.
