Description Olaf Hering 2006-10-27 13:26:16 UTC
10.2b1 on apple.suse.de
A cd install is not possible. 
After choosing 'New Installation' in the 'Installation Mode' screen, all I get is 'Failed to initialize catalog. Try again? yes/no'

I did a media check before, it reported no error.

Comment 2 Olaf Hering 2006-10-27 13:38:48 UTC
reading the cd works ok.

inst-sys:~ # mount -v /dev/hde /mnt/
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/hde
       I will try type iso9660
/dev/hde on /mnt type iso9660 (rw)
inst-sys:~ # cd /mnt/suse/ppc
inst-sys:/mnt/suse/ppc # md5sum -c MD5SUMS > /dev/null ; echo $?
0
inst-sys:/mnt/suse/ppc #

I see no hald running.
Comment 5 Olaf Hering 2006-10-27 15:09:09 UTC
seems to be specific to B&W, works on a G4.

Comment 9 Olaf Hering 2006-11-02 13:43:34 UTC
why are all those bugs duped? 
Did everyone in the CC list attempt an install on B&W G3 Mac?
Wow.

I was using a Amd Turion 64 bit chip on a Asus A6T laptop when I logged https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216046
Comment 11 Ladislav Slezák 2006-11-06 07:35:07 UTC
It might be related to bug #216938, could you try Beta1plus or Beta2?
Comment 12 Olaf Hering 2006-11-06 08:09:19 UTC
lets ignore my report, its clearly a kernel bug in the macio IDE driver.

better look at the dups, maybe those guys could switch to console 2 and look for errors in dmesg. maybe the cd can be mounted manually there.
Comment 13 Ladislav Slezák 2006-11-15 10:07:42 UTC
I suppose the bug is fixed, see bug #216938.

If anybody is able to reproduce the problem in Beta2 (or newer) then reopen the bug. Thank you.
