Hm, what does 'hwinfo --storage' say? On a second note: Where does network install come into play? hwinfo --storage: 01: None 00.0: 0102 Floppy disk controller [Created at floppy.112] Unique ID: rdCR.3wRL2_g4d2B Hardware Class: storage Model: "Floppy disk controller" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown 19: None 00.0: 0101 IDE interface [Created at misc.345] Unique ID: rdCR.Yi+dHiA1ww3 Hardware Class: storage Model: "IDE interface" I/O Ports: 0x1f0-0x1f7 (rw) I/O Port: 0x3f6 (rw) I/O Ports: 0x170-0x177 (rw) I/O Port: 0x376 (rw) IRQ: 14 (9291 events) IRQ: 15 (1273 events) Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Network install - I'm doing a plain network install, that is I boot from CD1 then install over NFS. The network "card" is a Xircom PCMCIA. fixed in hwinfo 11.30 I'm just trying to start the rescue-system from 10.1 Beta3 - I still have to load ide-generic manually. I have updated Product and Version to reflect 10.1 Beta3. What does 'hwinfo --storage --log=xxx' give? I'm still trying to install 10.1 beta3 - but although I load ide-generic manually, I can't get it to activate the swap-space. What I do is: 1. boot from CD1, select NFS install. 2. At some point, the installation system suggest I activate some swap-space, to which I reply /dev/hda2 (already formatted for swap). 3. This doesn't work as ide-generic isn't loaded, so I now manually load ide-generic, and try to resume the installation. 4. Next time the system suggest I activate some swap-space, it still reports "Error activating swap-space" - on tty3 I can see "swapon: /dev/hda2: no such file or directory. Boot with insmod=ide-generic addswap=1. Created attachment 66513 [details]
hwinfo output
Thank you - very helpful information. This is the output from hwinfo --storage --log=xxx.
Network install normally does not load storage modules at all in linuxrc (they're not needed). The swap-activation function doesn't care and assumes modules are all loaded. It's a bit tricky to fix this in a sensible way. I'll keep this in mind, but as it is really a corner case, it might not get fixed for 10.1. For the time being I'm perfectly happy with the work around 'insmod=ide-generic addswap=1', and although I'd like to see it fixed at some point, I fully agree it's a corner case. not this time mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy) mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy) mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy) Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;( |
