Re: [suse-autoinstall] SLES 10: more than one primary partition?

21 Aug 2006

      The example below (and our more complex standard setup too) worked.
Thanks!

Essentially there are two points to take care of:
1. Include the "" tag
2. Make sure to list all primary partitions first

Some side notes:

The use of the "" tag, while used in some examples (if you know what you are looking for...), is not explicitely mentioned in the autoyast document. Where can I get an uptodate DTD?

It seems that the priority of the "" is less then the prio of the "" tag. This behaviour has definitely changed from SLES9 to SLES10 and I can't find any reference on this change. May I urge you to document either the current behaviour or to document changes. It is not always the preferred way to first get a system running configured as you want and then to create an autoinst.xml from that machine.

best regards

What I expect is:
1st primary 96M /boot
2nd primary some 130G /
1st logical 6G swap
can you try it like this?
