Holger, Without the log files, there is no way we can identify why partitioning is failing. Anas Holger Hellmuth wrote:
Hi, my problem ist that I'm getting an error in partitioning (with Suse9.0), but my autoinst.xml (supplied on floppy) seems to be correct.

The error message "An error occured while trying to create partitioning plans" appears when suse tries to "Create partition plans".
Since I already installed Suse9.0 on that machine, I'm sure that "/dev/hda" is correct (and partitioning is working in principle). The partitioning part is verbatim out of the documentation.
I think the same error appeared also when the partitioning part was left out altogether, but I'm not sure.
As a last resort I even deleted everything between
and </packages> to make sure the software part wasn't at fault, but to no avail. Any Ideas?
Holger.
