Photo of the error message
Please provide logs of failed installation, see: http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST I stumbled over a similar problem - see BUG#114219 for details (incl. y2logs) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 114219 *** Not sure uf this is really a duplicate of 114219. Is you encrypted /home an LVM logical volume or a software raid. If yes this is really a duplicate of #114219 if no please attach y2log files from /var/log/YaST2 y2log.

Hope & think this is the right y2log
No, it's neither an LVM logical volume or a software raid - it's just a regular
partition (/dev/hda5)
Having uploaded that y2log, a couple of immediate thoughts: * Oops, sorry, didn't compress it :/ * I have a feeling when I did this install I didn't even try to mount /home because it had already failed on one install of B4. Let me know if you need me to do another install (at least as far as the partitioner) on this machine and upload a new y2log. The log does not contain any try to provide a mount point of /home to /dev/hda5. To be able to investigate the bug I need a log where the error really happened. Maybe it is not necessary to reinstall you can simply start "yast2 disk" in the installed system and change the mount point and encryption state of /dev/hda5. Created attachment 48976 [details]

Unfortunately it worked doing it this way (I even removed /etc/cryptotab before
trying) and it seemed to work, so maybe it's that some module's not loaded at
install time? (loop_fish2 perhaps?)
No, the module loop_fish2 is there and can be loaded without a problem in installation environment (I checked this from the logs in bug#114219). Strange, the code to determine the encryption type is exactly the same when running in installed system and in installation environment. If you try installation with next release (should be RC1), please also try to add your encrypted /home during installation and if that fails again (which I expect), provide y2log files from this unsuccessful try. Of course it would also help if you retry installation with beta#3, you would not need to really do a new installation, you could abort it after the error with integration of the encrypted /home was displayed. But if you plan to test RC1 anyway it would be better to retry with the newer release. Created attachment 49327 [details]

y2log from install of RC1, the behaviour when I tried to mount /dev/hda5 was
the same as before.
Thanks for the logs, it was a missing call to "modprobe" of the corresponding fs module. It seems in my test I incientially had the needed fs modules always already loaded. |
