Description Wolfgang Engel 2005-09-21 13:30:40 UTC

During installation, trying to partition a DASD is not possible because it is  
not shown in the partitioner dialog. 
 
please contact me if you need a machine where you can test it

Tried calling you but failed.
I need either access to a test system or the logs from /var/log/YaST2

Comment 2 Thomas Fehr 2005-09-26 14:26:25 UTC

detection has been fixed in preview1 for SL 10.0 you need yast2-storage-2.13.1
or newer for that.
being able to partition a dasd needs some more work.

Comment 3 Alexey Eremenko 2005-09-26 20:25:00 UTC

well, yes, I experience the *same* problems -  Yast's Partitioner doesn't   
work !   
   
My hardware: AMD Sempron CPU, 1GB RAM, VIA KM400 chipset, 200 GB Hard Disk  
(WD2000JB, IDE, Western Digital)  
OS: SUSE Linux 10 RC1  
 
The only 3 things I think of, that may have different non-standard. those are: 
a) my hard disk is >128 GB (it causes errors/problems with some OSes) 
b) My hard disk is connected to /dev/hdd 
c) I have lots of partitions: (having different filesystems on them) 
hdd1 
hdd5 
hdd6 
hdd7 
hdd8 
hdd9 
hdd10 
hdd11 
hdd12 
Some are: ext3, reiserfs, linux-swap, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS...

I do notreally see what comment #3 has to do with the original bug report.
Original bug report was about missing detection of DASD disks on a IBM S/390,
so it is certainly something completely different.

Attaching ones reports to completely unrelated bug report is not really
advisable. Nevertheless. to be able to do something about the report in 
comment#3 I need the files from /var/log/YaST2 to do something about it.

Comment 5 Thomas Fehr 2005-10-06 16:20:01 UTC

All DASD handling should be fine with yast2-storage-2.13.3

Comment 6 Ihno Krumreich 2006-07-07 11:34:41 UTC

Closed.
