Re: [suse-autoinstall] "ERROR: No proposal" message with default install params

24 Jun 2004

      Thanks for your response, Leen.

I went to a working machine, opened up the autoinstall configuration 
utility, and used it to create the partitions I wanted.  Then I saved 
that file, and sucked everything between <partition> and </partition> 
(inclusive) into my existing control file (just after the 
</general>).  Then I tried the install again.

I still got an "ERROR: No proposal".

Below is the code generated by the autoinstallation config utility.  
Anyone see any problems? 

Thanks!

Here's the relevant section of my control file:

Try to create this setup with the autoyast module, and see if that works.
