With a music CD in the reader, starts the install, but hangs at 60% while looking for Linux partitions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with openSUSE 12.1 running on sda3, swap on sda2, 5GB or more free on sda1 2. Mount /dev/sda1 on (let's say) /mnt/extra 3. Download openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso to /mnt/extra 4. Mount it on (let's say) /mnt/iso over the loop device 5. pushd /mnt/iso/boot/x86_64/loader 6. cp -v linux initrd /mnt/extra 7. popd 8. Set up a new GRUB entry: kernel linux, initrd initrd, both on (hd0,0) 9. Try to boot your new GRUB menuitem Actual Results: (a) With nothing in the DVD drive: hang (b) With a music CD in the DVD drive: a curses popup comes up, asking for CD 1 in the drive. Let's continue the STR: 10. "Back" 11. Select language from a popup menu (I chose English(US).) 12. Select keyboard from a popup menu (I chose Belgian) 13. Select "Install or update" from popup menu 14. Select "Hard drive" as install medium. 15. Select sda1 as install partition 16. Select /openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso as "directory" (the initial slash is important). Install starts. After some time the console goes into graphic mode. A number of steps happen, probing the hardware, and at bottom a progress bar advances. At 60%, while looking for Linux partitions, the install system hangs. Expected Results: Install should have gone on, eventually asking if I want to do an install or an upgrade. Additional info: - On /dev/tty4 I see a lot of error messages about device fd0 sector 0. New ones arrive constantly, pushing up messages about my USB mouse when there are any. - There is no floppy drive on this machine. I tried to disable the floppy in the BIOS setup but then it wouldn't find the bootloader. -- 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.
