Dear List (and Uwe),
I am using openSUSE 10.2. When I try to do an autoyast install I get an
error
dialog when the program tries to set the type of the extended partition:
Error: Failure occurred during the following action:
Setting type of partition /dev/sda3 to F
System error code was: -1012
And the install quits. It leaves the MBR corrupt with an invalid
partition type
so subsequent autoinstalls don't work (parted says it can't use the
format and
refuses to create partitions etc.)
Does anyone know a way around this?
Here is my partitioning XML which I got from 'clone this system for
autoyast'
on a successful manual install of the same machine. All I have changed
is the
<use>1,2,3 etc</use> to <use>all</use>:
