In trying to upgrade a machine from oss 11.0 to 11.1, yast installer is unable to find any partitions to upgrade. The machine has two IDE disks broken into three partitions each. Here is the disk layout: /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 = /dev/md0 = /boot /dev/sda2 + /dev/sdb2 = /dev/md1 = swap /dev/sda3 + /dev/sdb3 = /dev/mapper/system/system-lv = / During upgrade, either using the bootable DVD or the mini-network boot CD and pointing it to an in-house repo, the system does not see any partitions to upgrade. Going to console 9 at that point and trying mdadm --detail /dev/md0 complains about md0 not being active. In googling and oogling this on the Net, I see that oss 11.1 was (still is?) seriously handicapped in it's boot time handling of lvm, software raid bits and pieces. Apparently some issues have been resolved by various updates (such as the perl-Bootloader update perhaps etc). If the issue I am seeing has been fixed, does anyone know how to utilize the fix during install time? Is there a way to somehow slipstream the fixes and create new install media? I had another machine with a similar setup that upgraded fine (well, "fine" - that machine failed to boot after the upgrade due to known bugs in oss 11.1 with root on raid + lvm - I got around that by making a boot cd and the machine works fine). This particular machine will not even upgrade to 11.1 for me to fiddle with any of the fixes available for 11.1. The only difference between the machines is that the one that upgraded has two SATA drives and this one has two IDE drives - but that ~should~ not make a difference. I would appreciate anyone's insight into this issue . Thanks in advance for any help. -- --Moby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
