I'm using autoyast to install SuSE 10.0 on a set of systems. Keeping partitions seems to be a problem.

the 10.0 has a bug with keeping partitions. Try to use the line I have added to you profile above. That should workaround the problem unless there are more errors in your profile (I did not take a closer look).
Hi Uwe, thanks for your help, however it doesn't work for me. I started another series of attempts and I found something of interest. It doen't matter, which partition-directive to comment out, my config file works fine. For example activating the partition-directive for partition 5 and commenting out another ext. partition also works. Is there a limit to the number of mount points to be set by autoyast? Perhaps there is a way to prevent autoyast to set additional mount points to the ntfs-partitions automatically to reduce the number of mount points? -- thanks, Thomas Holzapfel Lehrstuhl und Institut fuer Wasserbau und Wasserwirtschaft RWTH Aachen
