I really like being able to re-use the exiting fstab file and to save partitions (/local/mnt and /local/scratch in our case.. they're paths we use) but I have one problem. Everything works as expected but the installation hangs at the end with the error: Root device: /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 (mounted on / as reiserfs) Module list: cciss amd74xx reiserfs () Screenshot for the curious: http://www.miguelito.org/images/autoyast.png If I get on the console and hit ok.. everything is fine. But I'd like to remove the need for that. That case happens to be on an HP box.. doesn't matter the hardware, whether ide disks, sata, whatever. Dropping into console 2 and using fuser, I find the following process holding /mnt (same named process everytime): root 6428 0.0 0.1 59769 8276 tty1 S+ 17:43 00:00 scr stdio scr Obviously the pid, memory, etc change.. but it's always 'scr stdio scr' This never happens when I don't reuse the fstab file. Any clues why this proc sticks around like this when I do? The xml file bit to reuse the fstab is: === <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <install> <fstab> <!-- Read data from existing fstab, don't format filesystem on /local/mnt or /local/scratch --> true <!-- All partitions found in fstab wil be formatted and mounted by default unless we do the following to save them --> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <mount>/local/mnt</mount> </partition> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <mount>/local/scratch</mount> </partition> </partitions> </fstab> </install> </profile> === Am I missing some config bit in there? -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff IT Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com "Thanks for inquiring, the spell chicker works fine." --Computer Stupidities http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid
