Description Oliver Fein 2005-08-10 17:55:40 UTC
When an ide and an sata disk is installed in my computer and i install suse 10 beta 1 on the sata disk, i 
can not create a swap partition. Also when i use the expert partiton tool. 

When i remove the ide-disk i can create an swap partition.

Please provide the YaST log files as explained in:

The Yast logs

This are the files from the new installation without the ide-disk.
If you wish, i could install suse 10 with the ide-disk and post the log files.
Please contact me.

It could sound a bit nasty, but attaching y2logs with the error handling inside
them would be much more helpful than the correct installation where you were
able to create the swap patition ;).

If you have any problem, please, report that error and save the logs (rather the
whole /var/log/YaST2/ directory) just in the time when the problem appears.

On the other hand there is a possibility how to get those logs without
reinstalling the computer: Do this if you can, please: Plug the IDE-disk in and
start the installation from CD/FTP just as you did before. When the bug appears
(cannot create swap when IDE-disk plugged in), switch to the console by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+F2 and create a tar archive of the whole /var/log/YaST2 directory or
use the Bugreporting FAQ to save the logs from Installation UI. Then copy this
archive to the floppy or somewhere to the current (SATA?) disk.

Then, if you abort the installation, you could boot to your previously installed
system. Nothing gets installed, no patrition gets formatted until you accept the
final installation proposal and say [Yes, Install] (or something like that).

If you are selecting which partition should be formatted, where should be
mounted, nothing is mounted or formatted. Everything starts after you accept the
proposal - and you can allways abort the installation before...

I have had this error in many times yesterday but today nothing happend when i installed suse.
Comment 5 Lukas Ocilka 2005-08-10 23:07:07 UTC
With or without the IDE-disk plugged in?
Have had you the same hardware configuration as in the time when you mentioned
the error?
Comment 6 Oliver Fein 2005-08-11 00:42:45 UTC
Ok i found the Problem.
When i use the disk partionier and use the "hole disk" option for my sata disk and i install suse this error 
is displayed:

Storage modification failed
System error code was: -3005
Failure occured during following action:
Formating partition /dev/sda1 (1004.0 MB) with none

/dev/sda1 is used as swap. 
Comment 7 Oliver Fein 2005-08-11 00:59:56 UTC
This error occured ever with or without ide!!!

I will submit the logfiles later, after the installation. 
Comment 8 Klaus Kämpf 2005-08-11 05:53:00 UTC
