Re: [suse-autoinstall] Problem setting up the partition table

I'm setting up a SUSE autoinstallation environment for the first time, and things are going relatively smoothly, EXCEPT... when it comes time to set up the partition table, autoyast complains that it can't set up the swap space on /dev/hda5. This is perplexing, since I only specified

i have seen the same error. though for me yast complains about one of the partitions which are defined in the autoyast xml file. i found that every time this error comes up, the dev entry for that partition was missing. switch to virtual console 2 and try 'ls -l hda?'. you will see hda1-9 but hda5 will be missing. (in your example, the swap partition is not declared as primary so yast is actually trying to create the extended partition hda5.)
