--- Comment #4 from Nick Couchman
Nick, I'm trying to install OpenSUSE 11.4 in a vm, on a iSCSI disk. It installs the packages, but fails to install the boot loader, at which point it complains about an error in initrd. I'm wondering whether this is some local issue or you did something different to install it, eg. partition is in some special way. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.
I partitioned it with a / and a swap partition, and tried a regular partition table and a GPT.
I was actually doing a physical machine install, and I believe the bootloader was actually installing correctly, but I'm not certain. I may have had to go back and correct the bootloader configuration. Anyway, I'm able to actually get it to boot off iSCSI, and I believe it passes the iBFT information through from the BIOS to the kernel, tries to connect open-iscsi to the target, and tries to continue to boot. At some point, though, something about the boot process steps on the iSCSI daemons toes and interrupts access to the iSCSI target, which causes I/O errors on the disk, and, ultimately, failure of the system to boot. -- 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.
