Ok, it definitely works on some schemes, on some not. It seems to work always when creating the partitions and hangs on some profile trying to keep existing partitions. I have two quite similar schemes that might help you to catch the bug. Logfiles are quite big so I put them on my web page. A profile created (by our script) from this template works with keeping: /dev/sda1 /dos vfat defaults 8gb /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 4gb /dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 25gb /dev/sda5 /local ext3 defaults 50gb /dev/sda6 /usr/local/storage ext3 defaults max A profile based on this template works with creating, but fails with keeping partitions (when it ran through with creating before so that the partitions indeed exist). It works with keeping partitions without the patch. /dev/sda1 /dos vfat defaults 8gb /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 4gb /dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 25gb /dev/sda5 /local ext3 defaults 50gb /dev/sda6 /tmp ext3 defaults 4gb /dev/sda7 /usr/local/storage ext3 defaults max Little difference, but seems to be an imporant one... Failing here means it loops endlessly and I killed it when y2log was larger than 1GB.

I don't mind to act as beta tester for any try of a patch. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
