Package: s390-dasd Version: 0.0.27 Severity: important s390-dasd has the following code snippet in dasd-config.c:
| static enum state_wanted get_channel (void) | { | if (di_tree_size (channels) > 20) | return get_channel_input (); | else if (di_tree_size (channels) > 0) | return get_channel_select (); | return WANT_ERROR; | } I'm not sure about the rationale for this. When removing the check, the program segfaults upon hitting "Finish", despite listing the devices correctly and allowing to configure them. Sadly strace didn't help at all and gdb was unable to generate traces. If you've got a lot of devices visible, because you're in LPAR mode, you cannot configure the disks because the state machine goes GET_CHANNEL -> ENABLE -> FORMAT -> WRITE -> GET_CHANNEL and there's no way to exit the GET_CHANNEL input field with a finished state. So you're caught in an endless loop instead. An alternative to just showing the select widget all the time would be to fix the state machine so that it's possible to exit with sucess from the channel input when at least one device was brought online (or is in configured).
