Description Jan Albrecht 2008-10-23 07:58:32 UTC

Hi,

during the update process from 11.0 (latest updates) to 11.1 Beta3 I got these errors:

/boot directory is not mounted

So with this the upgrade of the kernel seemed to be failed.

However the true reason seemed to be a full /boot:

2008-10-23 02:29:53 <1> linux(3255) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:548 DonePackage(error: 3, reason: 'Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Free diskspace below /boot: 409490 blocks
Setting up /lib/modules/2.6.27.1-2-default

A logfile is attached.

Nevertheless the upgrade went fine and the 11.1 Beta was booting an running fine.

Comment 2 Martin Lasarsch 2008-10-23 14:22:32 UTC

I have 419mb free space in my /boot partition, so it looks more like a wrong calculation or it uses the wrong /boot to test it.

And my selected boot partition is mounted to /mnt/boot, despite the error that it's not.

tested with beta3, update from a fresh 11.0 installation.

Comment 3 Jan Albrecht 2008-10-24 04:48:45 UTC

Yes,it seems the same error to me.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

                      9.9G  1.3G  8.1G  14% /home

I don't think that my /boot was full during the upgrade process, so there has to be an error during the upgrade routine.

Comment 4 Josef Reidinger 2008-10-24 08:28:05 UTC

/boot directory is not mounted
 This is newly added check which check if you have your separate boot mounted. Can you please attach from your chrooted system (/mnt) your fstab and mtab? (this two files I compare)

Comment 5 Jan Albrecht 2008-10-24 09:20:12 UTC

Erm, can you please be a bit more specific what you need?

(I've upgraded the system completly, so a new try would be bit difficult. But I could try to test it with a virtualized system...)

Comment 6 Josef Reidinger 2008-10-24 10:23:52 UTC

If you create separate home and this home is not mounted during upgrade, then this warning occure. Maybe problem is that during upgrade /boot is not mounted under /mnt/boot. I can also test it.

Comment 7 Martin Lasarsch 2008-10-24 10:42:13 UTC

/mnt/boot is mounted, see #2. The error message is just wrong.

- it is mounted
- there is plenty of free space

The funny thing is that despite the errors everything is working, see #1.

Comment 8 Jan Albrecht 2008-10-27 06:22:53 UTC

I'm sorry, but I can't bring my virtual machine to update the 10.3. The installation fails during the upgrade.
So would it be possible for anyone of you to test it?

Comment 9 Jan Albrecht 2008-11-07 11:43:13 UTC

Hi,
during the upgrade vom beta3 to beta4 the same error occured.

Comment 10 Josef Reidinger 2008-11-10 08:20:11 UTC

fixed in 0.4.77, if problem still occur please reopen with actual logs. Thanks
