I've got a "unknown error" during an installation attempt as well as an
update attempt of an existing openSuSE 11.0 system to 11.1. The observed
disturbance seems to be closely related to bug 461277.
The previous update of the computer system from 10.3 to 11.0 worked
nearly flawlessly, exept for the Lilo installation, which required some
online tweaking, id est reverting to the old version of lilo.conf with
new kernel names. The technical update procedure was the same as
described below.
The Yast2 in the 11.0->11.1 update attempt, as well as the installation
attempt reports an unknown error - could not access storage device
message during his respective attempt to read the partition table.
Please look into the appended y2log file for more information, as well
fstab and mdadm.conf for information about my system.
After the (graphical) error message, I accessed the text console tty2,
where I could see that the md devices were not recognised.
A manual mdadm --assemble --scan worked, but created somehow strange md
devices, md126 and md127, the high numbers beeing really strange.
These md devices could be mounted and showed their proper content, but
could not be accesed by the updating or installing procedure of the
YaST2 11.1.
My boot environment is:
- SuSE 11.1 PXE server,
- linux and initrd from DVD1:/boot/i386/loader by tftp,
- content of DVD by NFS
The system does not posess a bootable CD or DVD drive!
After PXE linux loading, kernel, initrd and file 1 to 6 loading, a
complaint of a missing CD1 occurs.
I've seen a complaint of a missing file 8 in a log - is this an
additional driver file?
After the initial error message, that no "CD1" is present, the text
YaST2 allows the choice of NFS based installation, DHCP is selected,
message "no driver update" is answered by [OK], the graphical user
interface fails with the final error independent of choice "update" or
"installation". The graphical interface stalls if "continue" is chosen
and terminates if "cancel" is chosen.
