Attachments:	lspci -vv output from openSUSE 12.2 boot

Description Felix Miata 2012-12-03 05:31:54 CET

Created attachment 3188 [details]
lspci -vv output from openSUSE 12.2 boot

I tried HTTP install started by Grub with kernel and initrd from MGA2, and with kernel and initrd from Cauldron. I also tried with Cauldron boot.iso CD boot. Installation program loads, I accept license, ICH7 controller is found, I click next with No selected, then:

  "An error occurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new filesystems. Please check
  your hardware for the cause of this problem."

This system had no similar trouble when I installed openSUSE 12.2, Fedora 17 and Fedora 18.

fdisk -l produces nothing. I would attach output from bug command, but installer can't seem to find USB stick either. tty2 has no cat command, no ls command, no lsscsi command, no lspci command, so I can't find a device name to give the bug command.

Please try again the installer. Once the error happens:
1) plug a USB key
2) go to the console (alt+ctrl+2)
3) type "bug" then <enter>
4) attach the report*xz file found on your USB key to this bug report

That I tried before submitting this report, like I did fdisk -l, which produced nothing. I tried bug again now:

  putting file report.bug on fd0
  unknown fs type

Then shut down that computer I put that stick to this computer. Output of ls -l command from stick's (vfat) mount point:

Can you with latest installer?
I'm pretty sure it's fixed.

modprobe.blacklist=hpsa on installer cmdline works for MGA2/DrakX v14.22.1

Cauldron mirrors work without it.
