Two autoyast problems: bootloader location ignored and raid0 ignored

8 Nov 2002

      Hello,
autoyast up and running (SuSE-8.1) but have two problems:

-  <bootloader><location>/dev/hda</location></bootloader> seems to be
ignored by
 autoyast. The bootloader ist always installed in /dev/md1 (the location of
/boot), in
 /etc/lilo.conf the configuration is 'boot = /dev/md1' afterwards. The same
with mbr
 instead of /dev/hda.

- Configuration of two raid devices, one raid0 the other one as raid1. But
both
  are installed and entered to /etc/raidtab as raid1. Remark: all partitions
from
  earlier are destroyed via fdisk to avoid trouble while running autoyast
from
  auotmatic raid detection via persistent_superblock.

Thanks for your help in advance,
 Peter
