http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537064 Summary: YaST wipes volume label after choosing the wrong partition for the new system Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: f.de.kruijf@hetnet.nl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.3; Linux) KHTML/4.3.1 (like Gecko) SUSE During installation YaST proposes an already existing partition to be used as the root for the new installation. In the old system this partition is mounted by volume name. I want to use another partition for the new root, so I have to change this partition by changing that it should not be mounted or should be mounted in a sub directory. However the volume name is no longer present and is wiped, so a workaround is to specify it to be mounted and then restore the volume name. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: However this volume name should not be touched unless it really is used as the new root partition. -- 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.

So I booted using KDE Live, mounted the 11.2 and 11.1 in the Live system. Now I could edit save_y2logs to use /suse112m6/ to collect the data. The only information that may be wrong is the output of rpm -qa. -- 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.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537064 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537064#c7 Thomas Zander changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |zander@kde.org --- Comment #7 from Thomas Zander 2009-11-19 09:44:40 UTC --- May I suggest that the fix become available earlier? The reason is that on my MacBook I get a crash of the installer directly after the volume label is being set. The installer somehow fails to set the volume label on the MacOS partition (which is before incorrectly identified as 'linux'), it shows a warning dialog and when I click on the button it crashes. Logically this would mean that if the above bug is fixed I can get through the installer and actually install suse on my macbook. I'll try the workaround tonight. -- 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.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537064 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537064#c8 --- Comment #8 from Thomas Fehr 2009-11-19 10:04:03 UTC --- There were some problems handling labels on HFS partitions. In 11.1 and later installer should ignore labels on HFS partitions completely. You can also work around the above label problem by not pressing the "Modify Proposal" button but use the "Create Proposal" button. If you do this you get into the expert partitioner and there are no labels removed from existing partitions. I additon we would need log files to see what really happens on your machine. -- 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.
