Hello, The basic profile worked fine, so I've decided to start transplanting the stuff I need into that file, bit by bit until I have a working solution :-) I have done a few sections now, but am stumbling on the partitioning. I keep getting a dialog box popping up, stating: Error while configuring partitions, try again. The <partitions> bit of the profile looks like this: ============================================================ <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/boot</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> <size>100mb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr> <size>7000mb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/usr</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr> <size>7000mb</size> </partition> <partition> <partition_id config:type="integer">15</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">4</partition_nr> <size>max</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">5</partition_nr> <size>2048mb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/tmp</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">6</partition_nr> <size>1024mb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/stg-dell1</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">7</partition_nr> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/sdb</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/mirror</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> ============================================================ The machine has two hard drives, both of which are actually SATA, and show up as "sda" and "sdb".

But I am still getting the "Profile not found error".
are you sure it's "Profile not found"? It can also be a syntax error. Instead of your profile, please try the minimal profile from the FAQ: http://www.suse.de/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#a3 That has no syntax errors and can be parsed on a 10.0
I have therefore tried calling the xml file "001422b0c666", "001422B0C666"
both should work. Autoyast tries both versions. First uppercase, then lowercase.
First of all, I click "File" | "Open" and opened the XML file I had generated. The following got printed to either stdout or stderr:
============================================================ Pseudo-hashes are deprecated at /usr/share/YaST2/modules/SambaServer.pm line 284 (#1) (D deprecated) Pseudo-hashes were deprecated in Perl 5.8.0 and they will be removed in Perl 5.10.0, see perl58delta for more details. You can continue to use the fields pragma. ============================================================
that's not a problem. I saw that a while ago and checked the code. It does not hurt. I already reported that to the developer of the SambaServer.
I then clicked "Tools" | "Check Validity of Profile" and after it had done it's checking, the following got reported back to me:
on the 10.0 the validity check is not very good. Better don't trust it too much. I hope we'll get that fixed for SLES10.
