Description Roger Larsson 2006-03-02 21:29:27 UTC

Installation now has stopped in the very same spot twice!
This update (from 10.1 beta3) is attempted on my Thinkpad 390E (128 MB RAM)

I have no /boot partion everything goes to / that is reiserfs 3.6,
standard journal, using ordered data mode, using flush barriers (disabled later)

I will attach logs

Comment 3 Roger Larsson 2006-03-03 07:13:05 UTC

I let the Thinkpad continue over the night, still on 72%...
Another interesting thing is that the installation process has not
freezed - it is possible use Abort the installation.

Comment 4 Michael Gross 2006-03-03 14:27:58 UTC

Jiri: If this is nothing for you, please assign it back to us.

Comment 5 Jiri Srain 2006-03-03 17:06:40 UTC

Please, reproduce the bug once more, and attach contents of /mnt/var/log/YaST2/ directory when the problem occurres. Most probably some packages was not installed, which caused this fail...

Comment 6 Roger Larsson 2006-03-04 23:07:59 UTC

Isn't that exactly what the already attached yast2 log is?

Comment 7 Jiri Srain 2006-03-06 17:24:47 UTC

No. You attached /var/log/YaST2/*, I need /mnt/var/log/YaST2/*. The reason is that some parts of YaST are running in chroot, and store their logs to /mnt/var/log/YaST2 (they cannot write outside the chroot jail).

If you try to reproduce it, please, try Beta6 (or the newest available beta)

Comment 8 Roger Larsson 2006-03-07 07:10:54 UTC

Retried but failed earlier.
"Installation of package /suse/i586/kerry-0.07-4.i586.rpm failed"

Details
... kerry-0.07-4.i586.rpm installed ok
... yast-packagemanager-2.13.14-3.i586 remove failed rpm output:
error: package yast2-packagemanager-2.13.14-3.i586 is not installed
(removed by earlier installation attempt?)

mono-core-1.1.13.2-5.i586 remove failed
rpm output:
error: package mono-core-1.1.13.2-5.i586 is not installed
(related to bug #154659 ?)

Interesting to note is that removing an already removed package results in an error... (kerry installed ok!)

Comment 10 Roger Larsson 2006-03-07 07:23:58 UTC

Requested log attached from the above described failed install.

Comment 11 Roger Larsson 2006-03-07 11:03:54 UTC

Since the fault mentioned in comment 8 looked to be in error I ignored it
and let the installation continue.

This time it passed those 72% and worked!? (Currently in Clean Up after
the initial boot)

Comment 12 Roger Larsson 2006-03-07 11:28:36 UTC

Did ignore make it ignore all other CDs?
The install did never request anything from CD2-CD5
(upgrade from Beta3)

Comment 13 Jiri Srain 2006-03-17 21:33:40 UTC

This problem should have already been fixed. Please, try with Beta8, and if problems persist, reopen and attach new logs.

Comment 14 Roger Larsson 2006-03-23 23:28:53 UTC

Run into bug #155284 (update=0, new=818) when trying to upgrade to beta8.
This has to be solved before I can retest...
