Error message after leaving YaST on S.u.S.E. Linux 5.0
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 5.0, 1st Edition
Symptom:
You have already setup quite some steps of the installation (partitioning,
assigning filesystems, selecting packages etc.) and leave YaST for a
reboot. After leaving YAST linuxrc pronounces an error:
"Th installation has not finished correctly."
Cause:
There are two reasons:
The return value of YaST is misinterpreted by - linuxrc; it
assumes an error has occured. This may only happen if you have partitioned
your disk in advance (or changed them). If so you should have seen a message
advising you to reboot your system.
- An error has occured during the installation, e.g.
YaST has crashed or been canceled.
Solution:
In the first case just ignore the "error message" and continue as
given. Normally you just have to reboot your machine. You might need to press
the reset button if everything else fails.
After the reboot the partitions (if you changed them) will be written and the
selected packages will be installed.
In the latter please consider our handbook for troubleshooting.
