SPAM: Partioning problems, SLES9 RC5.....
Hi all,
I have a problem with partitioning under SLES9, x86_64 (on a DL380-G4).
I'm using a SLES9 RC5 disk to boot from, then I am attempting an install
via an http server.
The install fails when trying to set up the partition plan (an error
occurred while trying to create the partitioning plans. Make sure the
control file has the correct syntax and values) - trouble is it doesn't
appear to indicate why (or else I'm not looking for the info in the
correct place). I certainly couldn't see anything obvious in the y2log.
The partition part is as follows:
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/cciss/c0d0</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/boot</mount>

drop the partition above from the profile. Don't configure the extended partition.
<partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount>
131 5 <size>1gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/home</mount>131 6 <size>300mb</size> </partition> <partition> <partition>
why two times "partiton"? copy and paste bug?
Can anyone see anything obvious I'm missing?
that's all I saw by quickly browsing your data. Fix that and if that does not help, post your complete profile. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
