https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=327612 Summary: Parted does not recognise partitions during installation Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: RC 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mike@leuty.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer I have two hard drives on my primary IDE controller /dev/sda1 is NTFS /dev/sda2 is FAT32 /dev/sda3 is EXT3 /dev/sdb1 is SWAP /dev/sdb2 is EXT3 /dev/sdb3 is EXT3 I was doing a fresh installation of openSUSE 10.3 RC1. When I got to the partitioning stage I received an error message "The partitioning on disk /dev/sda is not readable by the partitioning tool parted. You can use the patitions on disk /dev/sda as they are..." I selected "Custom Setup" and when I got to the screen where the partitions are listed, sda1 sda2 and sda3 were all listed as "Linux". I could not get them to change to NTFS or FAT32 using Edit. When I tried to mount them using Edit, sda1 mounted but trying to mount sda2 and sda3 gave an error message "it is not allowed to assign a mount point to a device with nonexistant or unknown file system". I proceeded to install openSUSE on /dev/sdb, with sdb2 as / and sdb3 as /home. Installation proceeded normally, but whenever I booted the installed system the boot process spent a long time trying to access /dev/sda and complaining that it could not do so. I do not think that this is a hardware problem because I subsequently ran the openSUSE 10.2 installation program which correctly detected all the partitions on the two hard disks. -- 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.
