[SLE] 10.2 Alpha 2 install time partitioner fails repeatedly
Hi all, This is related to an installation issue with Yast2 partitioner in 10.2 Alpha 2. The install process hangs when trying to format newly created partitions with reiser4. I tried all different combinations each time the partitions got created but the formatting never went through...finally I fdisked myself and used mkreiserfs to do it..and then asked Yast to install without formatting the disk,which worked..Have alpha 2 users observed this...is it a BUG..if it is then is there anyway i can get yast logs during install time....?Why I am insisting is because ..i tried 7 times failing each time before manual fdisk -mkreiser intervention..

Yes, if you switch to one of the virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-Fx where x=1 to 10 except 7) you will find a couple that gives you a command prompt. There you can go to /var/log/YaST2/ and copy the log files to somewhere permanent, like one of the working hard disk partitions for example, where you can get to them later. But, as I said in the other mail, the logs belong in a bug report in bugzilla.novell.com. There are a few developers who read these lists on and off, but not very often. If you have a bug you want fixed, bugzilla is the surest place to reach them -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

reiser4? That's not supported at all in the kernel. What are you doing?
