Hello list, I'm trying to install SLES8 and SLES9 on one machine. I'm starting with a SLES8 installation where all partitions are being created. (for both SLES8 and SLES9) The machine will have the following partitions: 2 x /boot 1 x swap 1 x extended 2 x / (root) 2 x /usr 2 x /var LVM1 LVM2 LMV3 The autoinstall for SLES8 creates all the above partitions and is running through the autoinstall process without any hassle. After this I'm trying to install SLES9 with autoyast on the same machine. Yast reads it's config and is starting with the partition process. Everything is set up so that yast should use all existing partitions and thus not create any new ones. I only set up 3 or 4 partitions to be formated. When the partition process starts, yast complains that the boot partition is not within the first 1024 cylinders although it ranges from 26-50. After this point yast is displaying the progress bar for setting up the partititions but the bar does not move a single percent. Has anyone else ever tried to do something similar? Any hints on what I can do to make the installation go past the partitioning? Thanx a lot in advance. André.
