[opensuse-factory] Alpha 4 DOS Partition ?
Hello, I can't install Alpha 4 on a System with a small (500MB) DOS Partition on /dev/sda1 ? The new installer like to resize the Partition. When I go to manual partitioning I have only EVMS Drives, after reformat the DOS partition to a swap Partition I can install Alpha 4 and I found all my partition in YaST2 Partitioning ? Is this a known Problem ? -- mit freundlichen Grüssen / best Regards Günther J.

No need for a bugreport: There are quite some problems with EVMS - and we're removing it for Alpha5 again, it causes more trouble during development than it benefits the few openSUSE users that want it, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Does this mean: sda, becomes hda again? ( i found it strange that my ide disks became scsi-sata devices...) (if so i am glad, because there is also no backwards compatability towards the old system. It is not able to mount the partitions (with 10.3 repair) to the system in 10.2. as it is not from 10.2 > 10.3 (not able to mount an existing ext2 partition)) Trying to rewrite menu list did not succeed. Screwing happened after installing 10.2, where there was allready 10.3 A4. Even the installer from 10.3, is not able to start-up the installed 10.3, recognises the fs, but does not recognise the bootimages somehow...

I just tried to mount the partitions from 10.3 again, because i was not content not being able to read them, (i need the proper grub entry) and i succeeded. Even the ext2 /boot partition could be mounted as /data2, other partitions as an old /home and / could now be mounted, all as /data1,2,3,4, etc. When checking the entrance in the menu-list, it was the same as the entry that did not work, and it still does not. Grub keeps complaining about ext2 partition (my boot partition is and was allways ext2), and can not find file.. (much time wasted allready..) - -- Have a nice day, M9.
