Hi all,
I have a problem with partitioning under SLES9, x86_64 (on a DL380-G4).
I'm using a SLES9 RC5 disk to boot from, then I am attempting an install
via an http server.
The install fails when trying to set up the partition plan (an error
occurred while trying to create the partitioning plans. Make sure the
control file has the correct syntax and values) - trouble is it doesn't
appear to indicate why (or else I'm not looking for the info in the
correct place). I certainly couldn't see anything obvious in the y2log.
The partition part is as follows:
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/cciss/c0d0</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/boot</mount>
131
1
<size>300mb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>swap</mount>
130
2
<size>4gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
15
3
<size>max</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/</mount>
131
5
<size>1gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/home</mount>
131
6
<size>300mb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/opt</mount>
131
7
<size>2gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/tmp</mount>
131

<size>1gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/usr</mount>
131
9
<size>3gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/var</mount>
131
10
<size>2gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/var/opt</mount>
131
11
<size>1gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/var/log</mount>
131
12
<size>1gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/var/tmp</mount>
131
13
<size>1gb</size>
</partition>
</partitions>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
</partitioning>
I also tried to use a profile created by yast autoyast - but I get the
same error. I even tried a minimal partition definition - and got the
same error. I tried different combinations of syntax from the AutoYaST
guides with no success. No matter what I try I get this partition error.
Its driving me crazy!
Xmllint isn't showing up any problems with the profile in general.
Can anyone see anything obvious I'm missing? Or has anyone got a working
example? If not, I'm facing the possibility of an error elsewhere in the
(rather long) config :-(
Thanks.
