Installer mounts filesystems in wrong order, resulting in boot failure
Last modified: 2006-02-08 09:50:37 UTC
My / is on LVM and my /boot is a "normal" partition. Unfortunately the installer mounts /boot before / and so the contents of /boot end up on the wrong partition. y2logs will be attached in a minute.
Created attachment 66081 [details] y2logs
Please also attach /etc/fstab itself and the output of `fdisk -l'.
"fdisk -l" for both hard disks is already in the tarball (it has everything in /var/log/YaST2). /etc/fstab can be easily extracted from y2log as follows: # cat var/log/YaST2/y2log|grep "EtcFstab.cc.createTabLine.:[0-9]* ret:"|sed "s/.*ret://" For your convenience, I have done that step. LABEL=Linux_boot2 /boot ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 2 LABEL=LVM_Root / reiserfs noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb7 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=LVM_Home /home reiserfs noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 2 LABEL=LVM_storage /storage reiserfs noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/hda5 /data1 auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda7 /data2 auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda9 /data3 auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda10 /data4 auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hdb6 /data5 auto noauto,user 0 0
Please attach these files anyway, the problem might be located somewhere in YaST itself, which would be hidden that way. A vgscan of your disks would also be useful.
SGI QA hit this issue too. If there is something our QA team could provide in the way of testing here and logs, we could try it too.
Erik: the LVM- and partition-configuration of the affected systems would sure be useful, as well as the yast logfiles.
Created attachment 66368 [details] tarball of fdisk -l,lvdisplay,vgdisplay,pvdisplay OK, my fstab is identical with the one I included in the comment above. All other information (fdisk -l, lvdisplay, vgdisplay, pvdisplay) is in the tarball.
Created attachment 66831 [details] tarball with disk info, y2logs ,etc. Hi. Sorry for the delay. Jim in QA got back to me and here is a tarball that includes disk configuration, volume info, and some logs.
I wonder why this ended up in my box? -> Reassigning to fehr for Yast stuff. -> Adding sf to CC whether this has to do with latest Yast bootloader changes
