openSUSE 11.2 M3 installs, but fails to boot (root filesystem on LVM not found)
Last modified: 2009-09-16 16:54:37 UTC
Hello, I have installed openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 3 (tested both x86-64 and x86). It installs - the installation is distributed on the HD like this: Device Mountpoint /dev/sda /boot /dev/mapper/system-SUSE112 / At the end a dialog box is shown that the machine will be rebooted. The reboot takes place, but hangs very quickly. The boot process (partly) initializes USB, and during that waits for /dev/mapper/system-SUSE112 to appear. There is no logfile I could copy/paste from, so I did a screenshot, and typed the interesting part: ------------------------------------------------------------ doing fast boot mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/mapper': File exists [...] Waiting for device /dev/system/SUSE112 to appear: ...............................Could not find /dev/system/SUSE112. Want me to fall back to /dev/system/SUSE112? (Y/n) ------------------------------------------------------------ If I boot my regular openSUSE 11.1, I see that /dev/system/SUSE112 exists, and I can mount /dev/mapper/system-SUSE112 without problems. firefly:~ # ll /dev/system/SUSE112 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jul 12 14:58 /dev/system/SUSE112 -> /dev/mapper/system-SUSE112 firefly:~ # mount | grep SUSE112 /dev/mapper/system-SUSE112 on /root/112 type ext3 (rw) Christian
It has been fixed in M4. I had the same problem and i can confirm that this has already been fixed. Thank You
I confirm that it also works for me in M4.
