I have reviewed the documentation included with autoyast2 v2.11.13 but have been unable to generate a control file which will reuse partitions on an IDE drive.
I then tried to rebuild the system as 10.0RC1 using the exact same control file with the following changes: 1) Do NOT create any of the partitions 2) Only format partitions 1,2 and 3, NOT partition 4
I think you stepped into a bug of RC1. I hopefully fixed that in RC2.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to where the error may be?
There is no error on your side. You can try to workaround the problem, but for the final release of the 10.0 this should not be needed anymore. Add the line I've added below to your profile:
The partitioning portions of control files follow:
Re-build: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <mount>/</mount> <usepart config:type="integer">1</usepart> </partition>
it might also be, that you have to add <keep_partition_num>1</keep_partition_num> to your drive section and depending on your pre partitioning a <prefer_remove config:type="boolean">true</prefer_remove> in the drive section might be needed too. But try the <usepart> first or wait for RC2. In RC2 usepart should not be needed anymore. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
