Description Israel smilanski 2012-12-05 12:08:36 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #769982 +++

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0

This has happend to me with build 454 and 451.
After this messege installation proceeds, but of cours nothing is written to the disk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
just try a new installation.

Expected Results:  
nothing is written to the disk.

Since nothing is writen to the disk I dont know what to attach. The disk itself is a dmraid disk, but the live cd (451) is able to nount its partitions after running dmraid -ay.
Happens again, same sympthoms with the latest releas of factory.
Comment 1 Neil Brown 2012-12-11 03:53:55 UTC 
If you can get a shell prompt after the install has failed, the install logs should be in /var/log - this will be a tmpfs filesystem.

If you can then put them on a usb driver or copy them over  the network or something, you should then be able to attach them.

Without them there is little that I can do.
Comment 2 Neil Brown 2013-02-07 03:09:52 UTC 
Closing as no response.  If you can get the logs, please reopen.

Comment 6 Neil Brown 2013-02-11 03:01:39 UTC 
Thanks for the logs.

The boot log shows large number of IO errors on the cdrom device.
This suggests that the problem is with the CD, or the reader.

Please double check the CD contains the correct complete image, and the CD reader can read it all.
e.g.
 sha1sum /dev/sr0

should complete without error and always return the same value

I will do that later - however the installation had been a network installation and no DVD was involved, so that these error are not relevant.

Comment 12 Neil Brown 2013-02-13 22:30:54 UTC 
'faillog' and 'lastlog' and full of nuls, and the other two don't really point to any errors.

Can you collect the yast logs as described in:

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug

Thanks.

and this is exactly  the problem. The hard disk is a "fake" raid 0
that works very well under opensuse 12.2 and previous releases.
I will try re-installing later and submit the othe logs, including succsesfull boot of 12.2 on the same machine.

Comment 21 Neil Brown 2013-02-18 05:38:59 UTC 
Thanks.  The y2log is what I needed.
It shows that /dev/mapper/nvidia_fajhbfec gets created properly, but then
error 3030 occurs because
     /dev/mapper/nvidia_fajhbfec_part5
doesn't exist - and then I remembered that I'd seen that problem before.
There was a change in udev rules for running kpartx so that it didn't create the partitions properly.  This issue is being addressed in bug#799274

So this is a duplicate of that.

You will need an updated multipath-tools, but it isn't clear  what the status of that update is  yet.  Hopefully that other bug will be updated when there is news.

Thanks for the report.

Comment 22 Israel smilanski 2013-03-11 17:26:04 UTC 
I have been able today to install version 12.3 on the above hardware.
When the installation system was up and running I hit ctrl-alt-F2 and did the following:
ln -s /dev/mapper/nvidia_fajhbfec-part5 /dev/mapper/nvidia_fajhbfec_part5
ln -s /dev/mapper/nvidia_fajhbfec-part6 /dev/mapper/nvidia_fajhbfec_part6
ln -s /dev/mapper/nvidia_fajhbfec-part7 /dev/mapper/nvidia_fajhbfec_part7
After that formating was sucssesful and the new installation booted up.
