Description Christian Zoz 2007-06-28 14:54:19 UTC 
My boot manager was broken, so i started installation to boot the already installed system. After i selected 'boot installed system' a popup message appeared telling me that it cannot find a linux root partition. But there are two linux root partitions on the disk.

Yes, there are two Linux systems, but neither of them was considered to be valid:

$[
  "/dev/sda2":$[
    `arch:"unknown", `fs:`ntfs, `fstype:"HPFS/NTFS", `label:"",
    `name:"unknown", `valid:false
  ],
  "/dev/sda3":$[
    `arch:"x86_64", `fs:`reiser, `fstype:"Linux native", `label:"",
    `name:"SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10", `valid:false
  ],
  "/dev/sda5":$[
    `arch:"x86_64", `fs:`ext3, `fstype:"Linux native", `label:"",
    `name:"openSUSE 10.3", `valid:false
  ]
]

DeviceMatchFstab device:/dev/sda5 fstab:/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_HTS541080G9SA00_MPBDL0XKG141JM-part2 ret:false
(doesn't match)

DeviceMatchFstab device:/dev/sda3 fstab:/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_HTS541080G9SA00_MPBDL0XKG141JM-part3 ret:true
(matches but...)
Architecture for partition /dev/sda3 is x86_64, upgrading i386
(please, try x86_64 media)
Comment 3 Lukas Ocilka 2007-07-04 14:34:24 UTC 
OK, let's see...

- Do not let wrong architecture to make partition invalid in case
  of boot-from-partition but make it invalid in case of upgrade
  (#288201).
