Bugzilla – Bug 106030
reboot unexpected
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:52:22 UTC
Installing from the CDs, I was somewhat startled to find the system rebooting after the 1st CD. The surprise could be diminished somewhat if the list of actions on the left hand side of the installation window (the ones that get check marks as you go along) looked something like: Install CD 1 Boot first time Install remaining CDs instead of just "Perform install" Of course it would be even less surprising if it just installed all the CDs before the first boot :-).
It's not always possible to install all CDs in a row since the initial system (containing YaST and all that stuff) may be mounted from CD1 so CD1 cannot be ejected.
It is theoretically possible in some cases to do the reboot later - if there is enough memory to move the installation system into ramdisk. However, this is not something that could be done now.
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 ;(
