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>
false
false
<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>
false
<mount>/</mount>
131
1
<size>16gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">false</create>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
false
<mount>swap</mount>
130
2
<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?
