I need to be able to make an autoinstall for installing a minimal OS on multiple systems for testing.  We are testing multiple Linux distributions, along with other OS's, averaging 10 installs/day.  I don't have much control over the server, so we have to install via FTP.  Getting the autoyast config is not the problem (verified

 

Our hardware varies greatly, and is usually very bleeding edge (just got a new Pentium D EE with dual SLI NVidia 6600's).  We also have workstations and servers, all with different drive controllers, etc (IDE, SATA, SCSI).  I need to have an auto script that will just nuke & pave the existing drive, install, and run our generic postinstall script.  I have Redhat, Fedora, and Mandriva working fine (although the varied hardware creates issues).

 

With Suse 9.3, I am really having a rough time.  I have finally gotten past all the errors from xmllint, but the install still hangs on "Error while configuriing partitions.  Try again".  Nothing seems to indicate an issue in the y2log, with and without the debug boot option.

 

To start, I just want to complete an install.  Here's my basic.xml file (sans post-install script).

 

I have also tried several auto scripts that I have found on this mailing list.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
