Hello everybody,
I've been trying to upgrade all our Suse 9.1 machines to 9.3 using
autoyast, but the XML configuration is giving me a few headaches...
Any light anyone could shed on this would be greatly appreciated :)
For our 9.1 install, we had this for our partioning section:
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/hda</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">false</create>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/</mount>
1
primary
</partition>
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">false</create>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>swap</mount>
5
</partition>
</partitions>
</drive>
</partitioning>
Which worked as expected: didn't create any new partitions,
just formatted & re-used hda1 and hda5 as root and swap
respectively.
Now, with the exact same section, it seems from the log file that hda1
is automatically used as a /boot partition, leaving no root partition.
I don't want a seperate boot partition, and don't know
how I can tell it not to do this. (If this is what it is doing).
Thanks,
Tom Scholl
