I found that if I made my partitions sections look like the following, it would grab the first disk (be it /dev/sda or /dev/hda) and autopartition it. See if it works for you:
<partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning>
This solution destroys all partitions, but I only want to delete /dev/hda1 and preserve the others. For example, if I have:
/dev/hda1 whatever /dev/hda5 data /dev/hda6 more data
I want to get after installation:
/dev/hda1 boot /dev/hda2 swap /dev/hda3 root partition /dev/hda5 data (preserved) /dev/hda6 more data (preserved)
This will never work for the simple reason that the extended partition has to be destroyed in order to be able to add additional primary partitions.
But your example leads to:
/dev/hda5 boot /dev/hda6 swap /dev/hda7 more data
Manipulating partitions at the beginning of the device is still not supported unfortunatly. You can only manipulate partitions at the end. Anas
