openSUSE 12.2 installation failed
Feb 5th 2013, 12:49

The installation-DVD created from openSUSE-12.2.DVD-x86_64.iso should be OK because <Check Installation Media> did not show
any error.

Trying to install with LVM failed completely. Installation without LVM worked somehow but none of the NTFS-partitions can be accessed - only
the Linux-partitions show up in /etc/fstab. On the other hand grub is willing to boot my Windows 7 installation.

Well, often Linux does not like new computers (OptiPlex 7010 MT with INTEL Core i5-3570). But clonezilla-live-2.0.1-15-i486,
gparted-live-0.14.1-6-i486 and Knoppix 7.0.5 do work.

Can anyone tell me how to get access to the NTFS-partitions?

Details about the problems:

LVM:
The installer did the following:
Create: sda8 156,88 MB boot ext4, sda9 159,58 GB, sda10 7,84 MB, LVM 159,58 GB from sda9 sda10,
with /home 25,00 GB ext4, / 20,00 GB ext4, swap 2,00 GB.
sda4 is the extended partition with sda5, sda6 and sda7.
sda10 sits at the beginning of sda4.
Result:
Failure occurred during following action:
Creating volume group system (159.58 GB) from /dev/sda9 /dev/sda10
System error code was: -4000
echo y | /sbin/pvcreate -ff -M2 '/dev/sda10':
Device /dev/sda10 not found (or ignored by filtering).
Continue despite the error?
<Abort>
It was a real mess to clean the disk because I had to delete sda5, sda6 and sda7 in order to get rid of sda10.

Without LVM:
The installer created sda8 (swap), sda9 (ext4 for /) and sda10 (ext4 for /home).
Error messages during installation:

Perl-Bootloader : 2013-02-01 07:59:26 ERROR: Command '/usr/sbin/grub2-install --force --skip-fs-probe /dev/sda

There was an error generating the initrd (1).

Then quite a lot of messages of this type followed.

After automatic reboot:
MUX infocall failed
But the rest including automatic update worked.

Automatic restart because of the updates:
"Failed to start Show Plymouth Reboot Screen. See 'systemctl status plymouth-reboot.service' for details."
The system hangs.
After switching the computer off and restarting it openSUSE automatically booted and did the remaining stuff of the installation.

Now I can boot Windows 7 as well as openSUSE - but openSUSE does not have access to the NTFS-partitions.

Please help.
