Description Matthias Bscheid 2005-09-28 08:50:08 UTC 
I've found a problem inside the Repair part of the Installation System in YaST:

Boot Installation from CD 1 (I used SuSE Linux 10.0 b4). Select Other > Repair
installed System
Choose Expert tools > Start Partitioning Tool

Make some changes eg. change a Partition size.
When accepting your changes the following message appears:

ERROR
YaST2 needs a root partition to install. Assign the root mountpoing "/" to a
partiton.

(There is no possibility to Assign mountpoints in the Repair partitioning tool)
Is this worth for a bug report?

Jiri Suchomel is maintainer of repair tool.

Jiri maybe the failure of repair tool has something to do with new 
yast2-storage, of you need something changed just tell me.
Comment 4 Jiří Suchomel 2005-09-29 09:20:49 UTC 
Thomas, the error message comes from partitioner; yast2-repair doesn't do the
partitioning on its own, it runs inst_disk and inst_prepdisk.


Sidenote for Martin: when attaching the logfiles, attach whole YaST directory,
not just last y2log file - see 
http://www.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST
Comment 5 Thomas Fehr 2005-09-29 10:00:50 UTC 
So far yast2 custom partitioner does not allow levaing the module unless
there is a partition assigned to mount point "/". 

Should this check be disabled in repair mode?
Comment 6 Thomas Fehr 2005-09-29 10:17:12 UTC 
I think I found it, so far I considered Stage::initial() returning true as
valid indication for being in mode for normal installation. 

I changed this to "Stage::initial() && ! Mode::repair()" and so the checks 
needed only during installation should be disabled again.
