[sles-beta] SLE12-Beta10 - Upgrade from SLE11-SP3 - Looks better, But...

[Waite, Dick]

Many Thanks Thorsten,

SR10902055991 created for the X11 UI issues.

Can you offer a few words on how to start LVM from the rescue system so that I can mount the good @/var/log and its mates, or point me at the Docu that has these good words. In our world, as you can see from 12-48, we are still happy to live in the XFS world. Very happy to have your system files in the "default" file world.

It looks like this is a LVM partition? In that case you have to start lvm at first.

That would be a question for our X11 developers, I can only suggest to open a SR for them.
