Hi,
When I install the final 12.1 from the DVD, it fails during the "Saving bootloader configuration..." / "Install boot manager" phase with a dialog titled "An error occurred during initrd creation." (which has no other text). I am unable to complete the install after this point.
This is probably the same bug as "Bug 713316 - mkinitrd: fails to run and/or shows no text during install" (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D713316)
I've tried installing on three different platforms, and I get the same bug. If I install using the Live GNOME CD on these platforms, the install completes without difficulty.
Has anyone succeeded in installing on any hardware using the 12.1 DVD?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi, In order for me to try and grok the YaST bootloader setup module, I
thought I would try and download the source code for YaST and compile it
on my openSuSE11.4 x86_64 system. Then perhaps I can instrument the code
in order to understand the model of the bootloader that YaST presents...
(and yes, I have asked before for help on understanding the model, and
not gotten any useful replies, just sympathy from others who like me do
not have a clue what the various settings will do either.. And yes, I
understand GRUB, and the GNU documentation, but the openSuSE model and
the bootloader GUI remains incomprehensible to me...)
I followed the instructions found at
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST_development
and one of the things these instructions did was to refer me to another
tutorial -
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST_tutorials_development_in_general
which indicated that I needed to be sure to install a number of
additional packages. I carefully tried to install the listed packages,
but a number (shown below) were missing -
gettext-devel
gtk-devel there is a gtk2-devel package installed on my
system. Equivalent?
liby2util-devel
openssl-devel there is a libopenssl-devel package installed on my
system. Equivalent?
pkgconfig there is a pkg-config package installed on my
system. Equivalent?
I dunno what to do about that, so decided to punt and go on. (Anyone got
any ideas on how I should locate these packages?)
Anywise, I downloaded the YaST source from the SVN (but not from trunk)
using the following command -
svn co http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/branches/SuSE-Linux-11_4-Branch/
which I guessed would get me the source code for the version of YaST2
that was installed in my system. The checkout proceed fine, as did the
three make commands to build and install YaST2. But when I got to the
step -
y2tool y2makeall
I got a number of errors as shown below (steps not shown appeared to
build properly without errors) These may be related to the fact that I
was unable to find and install all the required packages, so if that is
the case, then I need to understand how to find and install those
packages. Thanks in advance for helping me with this...

Hi all,
JFYI:
There are discussions about moving everything to /usr directory at opensuse-factory@
(see this thread http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-01/msg00501.html)
The wikipage (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:UsrMerge)
also mentions two yast packages:
yast2
yast2-metapackage-handler
If you maintain such a package don't forget about this change ;-)

First, thanks for Yast, a great tool!
Whatever happened to the Yast log viewer. It seems like it disappeared
in 11.3. Can we have it back?
Thanks,
John
