Sorry for late reply, was on vacation last weeks. Fixed the problem with hanging proposal now in head. To work around the problem you could do the following: - Use parted from your 10.2 installation to resize your extended partition to end of disk (parted will probably complain about "Device or resource busy." but after reboot new partition table should be fine. - retry install of 10.3, YaST2 should now propose to create new partitions in unused area of your extended partition Thanks a lot, the proposed workaround is allowing me to continue the installation! (No problem that it took so long to reply - the problem was major as I had to stop the work, but it was not an urgent task.) Thanks again, happy holidays and a good start into the New Year! |
Created attachment 184622 [details] The y2log output referred to in the description Background: I am trying to install OpenSuSE 10.3 on my laptop (via network install from the ISO on my desktop computer; OpenSuSE 10.2 is already installed; 10.3 shall be installed in parallel). YaST starts up normally, I can enter basic information (keyboard layout, timezone, etc.), but YaST hangs endlessly upon determining a partitioning proposal. I don't need a proposal, anyway, but can't interrupt the process without aborting the installation completely. Apparently (see attached y2log), do_proposal_flexible.ycp (revision 39878) starts to loop: Lines 3441 (containing "process_partition_data e") to 3610 are repeated in lines 3611 to 3780, and so on (having said that, I am not sure if line 3441 is really the start of the loop). "fdisk -l /dev/hda" shows the following: Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3648 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 4 32098+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 22 39 144585 83 Linux /dev/hda3 40 831 6361740 5 Extended /dev/hda5 40 769 5863693+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 770 831 497983+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris 10.2 is installed on hda1 (/boot) and hda5 (/), 10.3 would be installed in hda2 (/boot) and a yet to be created partition for /.
