Hello list, I have problems with partitioning and autoinstall on SuSE 9.3. What I want to do on my 120gb SATA disk: sda1 => primary, 8gb, ext3, / sda2 => extended, 8gb sda3 => primary, ext3, 48gb, /home sda4 => primary, ext3, rest (=max), /daten2 sda5 => logical, 4gb, swap sda6 => logical, 2gb, /var, ext3 sda7 => logical, 2gb, /tmp, ext3 What I get is: sda1 => primary, 8gb, ext3, / sda2 => primary, 8gb, unformatted sda3 => primary, ext3, 48gb, /home sda4 => extended, 8gb sda5 => logical, ext3, 40gb, /daten2 sda6 => logical, 4gb, swap sda7 => logical, 2gb, /var, ext3 sda8 => logical, 2gb, /tmp, ext3 My autoinst.xml-partitons section lokks like this: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <device>/dev/sda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> 131 1 primary <size>8gb</size> </partition> <partition> 15 2 extended <size>8gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/home</mount> 131 3 primary <size>48gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/daten2</mount> 131 4 primary <size>max</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>swap</mount> 130 5 <size>4gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/var</mount> 131 6 <size>2gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/tmp</mount> 131 7 <size>2gb</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> I have tried various possibilities (leaving the extended, different sorting etc.) without success. In other words: is it impossible to have an extended partition sda2 with autoyast? Is there a way how to do it? Maybe with pre-install-scripts? Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you, Boris
