Comment 4 Arvin Schnell 2005-08-25 09:33:55 UTC
Cannot reproduce the problem here.  Also the logs end way before the crash.
Comment 5 Uwe Köhler 2005-08-25 18:19:24 UTC
Tried the procedure with two different install CDs, both verified with correct
md5sum. Crashed every time. Saved the logfile some minutes after the crash
occured. I am afraid I cannot flush the logfile before the crash appears. This
bugs completely stops installation of SuSE 10.0 beta 2. This might be an
unexpected partition table for YaST, still, it should not crash. If there is any
other step I can undertake to help do not hesitate to request additional
information.
Comment 6 Olaf Hering 2005-08-25 18:25:48 UTC
boot with the 'start_shell' cmdline option
Comment 7 Uwe Köhler 2005-08-25 19:10:08 UTC
Cheers!

Na bitte, warum nicht gleich so? ;-)

After booting with "start_shell" and following the same procedure, I found the
following information:
Segmentation fault at Storage.ycp: 2056
/usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YAST2.call: line 283: 2592 Segmentation fault     y2base
"$Y2_MODULE_NAME" $Y2_MODE_FLAGS $Y2_MODULE_ARGS $Y2_MODE $Y2_QT_ARGS
ATTENTION

I am retyping from paper. Not every character might be correct, but the line
number are definitely correct.

SuSE 9.2 and 9.3 installed OK on the machine.
Comment 8 Arvin Schnell 2005-08-25 19:16:14 UTC
Sorry, but the information in comment #7 is useless.  If possible
pack the whole directory /var/log/YaST2 after the crash.
Comment 9 Arvin Schnell 2005-08-25 19:21:38 UTC
And if possible try Beta 3.  There have been fixed in yast2-storage.
Comment 10 Olaf Hering 2005-08-26 17:10:41 UTC
check dmesg for uncompressing errors, they indicate a bad cd.

Beta 3 y2logs.tgz
Comment 12 Uwe Köhler 2005-08-30 13:46:30 UTC
Beta 3 shows the same crash. Installation media are md5sum checked after
download, after burning and with YaST installation media check. Have also been
used to install on another machine (smae procedure there for partitioning).
Comment 13 Lukas Ocilka 2005-09-01 12:41:39 UTC
Please, have a look at it.
Comment 14 Uwe Köhler 2005-09-01 18:52:00 UTC
Hard to keep up with versions. This was still version beta 3. Tared
/var/log/YaST2, stored dmesg and y2logs.tzg with more debug logging. Hope that
helps. I would really like to get SuSE 10.0 running on this computer.

This looks like a duplicate of #112913 and should be fixed in beta#4.
