To avoid overriding of opensuse 11.3. grub boot-loader, I have chosen to install openSuse 11.4 M6 without it's grub boot-loader. I adapted my old opensuse 11.3 grub menu to boot also new installed openSuse 11.4 M6 system, so I was prepared that Yast would make reboot during installation to start openSuse 11.4 M6 and continue in installation. This trick I used successfully many times before, but M6 showed 2 problems: 1. After installation of all packages, it setup configuration files, and there was error message during phase *Saving bootloader configuration... with error message: "/sbin/mkinitrd: illegal option --s" (see attached picture openSuse11_4_M6_install7.jpg) 2. I accepted previous error by clicking OK and installation finished configuration and asked for reboot. My old grub started the new installed system, kernel was starting, but it never started second part of graphical installation to continue in installed process, but it showed login: line in text mode. I cannot find log file with this error so I made some camara picture of screen and there is this error: Initializing virtual console ... Found a Linux console terminal on /dev/tty1 (170 columns 48 lines) *** Starting Yast2 *** terminate called after throwing an instance of 'YUIPluginException' what(): Couldn't load plug-in ncurses YaST got signal 6 at YCP file Wizard.ycp:36 /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.call: line 283: 2528 Aborted $OPT_FBITERM y2base "$Y2_MODULE_NAME" $Y2_MODE_FLAGS $Y2_MODULE_ARGS $Y2_MODE $Y2_UI_ARGS if it could be interesting I attach camera picture of this errors (openSuse11_4_M6_boot_errors.jpg) Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change old opensuse 11.3 grub to be prepared to boot new installed openSuse 11.4 M6 2. Install M6 without bootloader. 3. During installation one restart is needed, where the problem appears Actual Results: No graphical installation interface is restarted after reboot in the middle of installation process. Installation can not be successfully finalized. Expected Results: Graphical installation YaST screen appears after reboot and I can continue in installation of M6 -- 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.
