Hello Ian, did you try to replace the max by something smaller? <size>max</size> Regards Alfred At 18:16 30.03.2007, Ian Grant wrote:
Dear List
With my autoyast script I get a dialog "Error while configuring partitions. Try again." during the phase 'Create partition plans.'
A syslog server sees only a few kernel log message from the install host. The /var/log/Yast2 log on the install host gives no clue about what the error is.
Can anyone suggest how to get a more useful diagnostic?
Here is my xml file FWIW
