parted [PID] trap divide error" error during SLE10 SP1 system boot

This document (3056441) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1

Situation

When booting a SLE10 SP1 based system, an error message similar to the following is presented:

ERROR:parted[5683] trap divide error rip:2b0fe2e5f781 rsp:7fffc7d8c300 error:0

The message may appear with a different rip andrspvalue.

Resolution

This error does not harm the system in its functionality. parted may get called on multipath devices controlled by device mapper. Because those devices are no real devices, some ioctl  calls may return unexpected values and in return cause parted to crash.

Please update to
parted version 1.6.25.1-15.13 or later.
