Problems with autoinstalling on server with FC-HBA
Dear list ... I'm having severe problems with using autoyast to install SL 8.2 on my servers. I've set up an environment as the one in the document by Anas Nashif That means I'm using DHCP, TFTP and NSF to distribute the kernel initrd and the controlfile The distribution part is working flawless, but it seems as if the partioning is goinig awry somehow. The servers I'm using dont have any local disks but get them through a FC SAN. IThey start up without any problems , load the kernel and initrd, start the HW detection and seem to load all the drivers that are needed. But when it comes to start installing thr packets an errormessage is thrown that states that there is no space left on the HD This is definitly not true, because I've just initialized it -> meaning its absolutly empty Has anybody a clue why this is happening or how I can get more information what is going wrong ? TIA Bengt

This means that something went wrong during partitioning and you are installing on shmfs which will eventually run out of space. Please try activating the confirmation screen and see what it says there regarding partitioning. To be able to investigate it, I will need the log files from /var/log/YaST2/ Anas

I have taken a look into the logs.. It seems you have format set to false in the control file? Any reason for that? If you create partitions and do not format them, then things will go wrong.... Anas
