[opensuse-autoinstall] Issues during the auto-installation of SLES 10 with autoyast scripts!!! Pls help!!
Hi, all,
When we develop the software, one tough issue happens during the
auto-installation of SLES 10 with autoyast scripts (see below).
Pls give us some suggestions or solutions to this issue.
Look forward to your reply. Thanks!!
[Issue summary]:Autoinstall SLES10 with autoyast scripts.
If there are four primary partitions on the disk, three of them
are used to install OS, then the fourth partition can not be remained.
Why? And how to keep the fourth primary partition?
[Issue details]
Partition List:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 582 293296+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc2 583 1746 586656 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdc3 1747 17248 7813008 83 Linux
/dev/hdc4 17249 39770 11351088 83 Linux
SLES10 is planned to install on the previous three partitions:
/dev/hdc1---------/boot, formatted as ext2 in advanced, put autoinstall
scripts on this partition(path: /prep/autoinst.xml)
/dev/hdc2---------swap, formatted in the process of auto-install
/dev/hdc3---------/, formatted as reiser in the process of auto-install
/dev/hdc4-------suppose that this partition is a data section need to be
remained.
Step 1: make auto-install scripts - "autoinst.xml" as follows:

yes, your problem should be fixed with SP1
Pls confirm it. If it's true, when will SLES10SP1 be released?

Hi , even its not directly related to autoyast can i use the 3 SLES9-SP-3-i386-GM iso images for installation or do i have to use the base CDs and then update the server. Also does somewhere has a link/script how to update a sles9 repository with the SP3 iso images ? tia Hajo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Thanks to your prompt response!!
But without SP, how can we auto-install SLES 10 using autoyast scripts on
the condition of four primary partitions?
Best Regards!

without SP I don't see a solution at the moment. If I read it right, you already have a workaround by using 10.2 code of autoyast. So I would suggest to use that until SP1 is available. Is that an option for you? -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
