Hi,
I tried the new autoinst rpms for an install. But it generates the partitions in the wrong order and creates an extended partition, even if there are only four partitions to be created.
The order for the partitions (which are /, /boot, swap and lvm) should be /boot first, after that / or swap and the last should be lvm (probably inside an extended partition).
Is there any way to force this order?
I have just tried a similar configuration like the one you have described and it works fine for me and everything is in the right order, except that all partitions are created as logical, which is the right thing and the default behaviour and was a result of a bug fix ( see bugs page: http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/). Please verify in the profile that the partitions are listed in the correct order.. To force the creation of a primary partition, add <partition_type>primary</partition_type> I hope this solves this issue.
