Received the 10.2 boxed set and thought I would install today. Hardware: HP ML330G3 server with Smart Array 532 controller setup as a raid 5 disk. When the install got to the reading the HD I got the following error: "The partitioning on disk /dev/cciss/c0d0 is not readable by the partitioning tool parted, which is used to change the partition table. You can use the partitions on disk /dev/cciss/c0d0 as they are. You can format them and assign mount points to them, but you cannot add, edit, resize or remove partitions from the disk with this tool." What tool can I use then if not parted? What other choices do I have to install 10.2? It seems rather lame that when the driver is loaded it properly shows the disk layout, and I am guessing that the driver works properly, but I can't install because the current tool of choice has a problem. The partitions also do not show up as a choice unless I use the check box to show all partitions and then I'm not sure of what I am looking at as there is nothing that remotely represents the partition names of the disk. Should I report this to bugzilla or am I just SOL (s**t outa luck) and it will never support disks using the cciss driver? Replacing the controller is _NOT_ an option unless you are willing to pay for the replacement. Another problem I ran into. When I cancel the install and dropped down to the text mode install I tried to view kernel system messages and received the following error: "Sorry, linuxrc crashed at address 0xb7d64dee linuxrc has been restarted in manual mode." Currently running 10.0 without problems.

Doesn't help when doing an upgrade rather then a fresh install. Ken --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

So take a console (ALT-CTRL-F2) as early as possible and use fdisk. It must be before YaST is reading your partition table.

You're missing the point. The disk is already partitioned, there should be no reason to use fdisk. The problem is that the partition names show as some strange name: /dev/mapper/lsi_jhicccaiaa_part1 DM Raid (ext3 /dev/mapper/lsi_jhicccaiaa_part3 DM Raid (xfs) and when I select what should be the proper partition for the upgrade (part3 with xfs) it tells me: "No installed system that can be upgraded with this product was found on the selected partition" Since the partition that I want to upgrade is on an xfs partition I cannot _upgrade_ my system. Also the bug referenced shows this as resolved from Beta 2. If so why is it still around in the retail version? I can also drop down to "F2" console and mount the proper partitions (/dev/ccissc/c0d0p3 is /, and /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 is /boot) without error.

What is if you mount by hand /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 -> /mnt /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 -> /mnt/boot and return to YaST? No chance to continue after YaST's failing mount attempts?

When I get to the language selection I dropped down to <alt-F2> and mounted the partitions. This had no effect on the install process, I still cannot "upgrade" my system. Another question I have is why are modules being loaded for the controller when it has clearly been loaded already while the install kernel is being loaded? This clearly points to a problem with parted and the "bug" has _NOT_ been "resolved" as stated in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219496 (at lease not for openSUSE 10.2GM) Comment #2 From Thomas Fehr 2006-12-04 10:54:16 MST Problem fixed in STABLE and SLES10 SP1 apparently didn't make it into openSUSE 10.2 GM.
