Dear all,
as a systemadministrator for a research group at a university,I'd like to use autoyast to install version 9.3 on all the computers. While trying my autoyast file on a test system, I get this error while partitioning:
"Error while configuring partitions. Try again."
When I look at the partitioning after this, it looks like yast is determining it's own partitioning scheme, since it partitions a swap partition first and then a / partition.
my configuration file looks like this (for partitioning):
It should look slightly different...
<partitioning> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition> <mount>/</mount> <size>3gb</size> </partition> <partition> <mount>swap</mount> <size>auto</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning>
In order to catch these kind of errors early on, you could use... % xmllint --nooout --valid autoinst.xml R /LarS
after checking y2log I found the following error:
