SuSE Linux: Version 6.0
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux. Therefore some of the informations given in this article may be outdated or the article may contain stale links.


SuSE-INTERN:

Symptom:

You are trying to install SuSE Linux on a FAT of FAT32 partition. However, YaST indicates that the filesystem is damaged and must first be repaired. The check reveals no errors, but YaST is still unable to complete the installtion.

Reason:

When mounting UMSDOS filsystem partitions, YaST uses the command umssync to synchronize. The umssync that comes in the distribution has a bug which causes the synchronization and therefore the installation with YaST to fail.

Workaround:

Install SuSE Linux on a ext2 filesystem.
