Description Lorne Shantz 2005-12-08 03:41:52 UTC

10.1 Alpha 3 installation. I was using an Intel MB #D845PEBT2, P4cpu, Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-120S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive.

During installation, (in my case at disk 3) if you insert the wrong disk on the second try it will hang indefinately. I tried this three times, starting from scratch twice. I also learned that rebooting instead of starting over, does allow it to continue from where it left off. Neat!

This is far too few infos to do anything.

Comment 2 Lorne Shantz 2005-12-10 04:44:35 UTC

No it is not. All you need to do, is reproduce it yourself. Start the install, and at disk 3, instead of using disk #3, place disk 4, 5 or 2 or 1 instead. then when it says it is wrong, do the wrong disk again. You should see the hang yourself. You do not need logs for this. I have had another user try the same thing on totally different hardware and the exact same thing happened. Why do you act hostile, when I am in good faith attempting to help you track down and fix bugs? I am confused.

I guess it's about yast.

Comment 4 Martin Vidner 2005-12-14 09:43:34 UTC

Sorry for closing the bug before. We do need the logs, because you already have them and they can save us the time needed to recreate the bug. http://www.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST
Please also give more meaningful summaries.

No feedback

Comment 6 Roger Larsson 2006-03-10 06:21:04 UTC

No feedback equals no bug?

I found this since I run into something similar but not exactly the same, I
will write another bug report.
