https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=204745 Summary: OpenSUSE 10.2 alpha 4 fails to boot after installing on x86-64 with existing LVM patition setup Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: oded@geek.co.il QAContact: qa@suse.de On an AMD64 system with a pre-existing partition setup that employs LVM, I chose "Expert partitioning" and chose to use the current LVM setup on modified. This included: /dev/sda1 /boot (ext3) /dev/sda2 LVM PV /dev/mapper/root / (ext3) /dev/mapper/swap swap (ext3) /dev/mapper/home /home (ext3) The SUSE installer identified all the partition correctly and even detected the swap partition as swap. I had to help it with the mount point (which is reasonable) and then instructed it to format /boot, / and swap. After finishing the install without problems, the system rebooted but failed to start: there was a report about a missing root partition and waiting for the boot partition to appear. Above that there were several errors about evms_activate failing. The boot process then dropped me in a shell. I tried to run evms_activate by hand, but got a report about a missing libgcc_s.so.1 and evms_activate aborted. At this point the system is unusable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
