Hi,

it is the same error code, but for me it is the partition containing the sources (the SLES CDs) that autoyast tries to mount.

Betreff: RE: [suse-autoinstall] SLES 10 and disk to disk autoyast installation

I've also been trying also to get disk-to-disk install working, also with EVMS volumes; do you get a similar error message to the following:

Failure occurred during following action: 
Mount /dev/sda1 to /boot 
  
System error code was -3003 
  
mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/boot busy

Best regards

Niall

Subject: [suse-autoinstall] SLES 10 and disk to disk autoyast installation


Hello,

I am trying to autoinstall SLES 10 in HD mode (disk to disk). It worked for SLES 9 but does not any longer with SLES 10.

The problem is that YaST tries to mount my source partition when formating the other partitions and this fails because the source partition is alerady mounted.

This is my partition schema:

sda1: ext3 16GB
sda2: swap
sda3: fat32 16BG

The third partition does contain the installation source. This is the autoyast partition plan:

 <partitioning config:type="list">
   <drive>
    <device>/dev/sda</device>
    <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize>
    <is_evms_vg config:type="boolean">false</is_evms_vg>
    <is_lvm_vg config:type="boolean">false</is_lvm_vg>
    <use>1,2</use>
    <partitions config:type="list">
     <partition>
      <create config:type="boolean">false</create>
      <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
      <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
      <fsopt>defaults,acl</fsopt>
      <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>
      <mount>/</mount>
      <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
      <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr>
      <size>16gb</size>
     </partition>
     <partition>
      <create config:type="boolean">false</create>
      <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
      <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
      <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>
      <mount>swap</mount>
      <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id>
      <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr>
      <size>512mb</size>
     </partition>
    </partitions>
   </drive>
  </partitioning>

And the kernel command line for autoyast: install=hd://sda3/suse AutoYaST=file:///autoyast.xml The autoyast file (autoyast.xml) is contained in the initrd. Kernel and initrd are booted from sda3.
This worked for SLES 9 with a little trick (unmounting /mounts/extra in a pre-install script).
Any ideas how to get the disk to disk autoyast installation working for SLES 10?
