Hello Anas, this is NOT an AutoYast problem. It's a "Transtec Megaraid" problem. It's even not possible to install this machine manually, because during installation "/dev/sda" and "/dev/sdb" get switched internally. According to Transtec you have to take away the entire SCSI Controller in order to perform an installation - works as designed. Cool feature. Sorry for bothering you, Erik.

Hello Anas,
I just did an AutoYast2-Installation, Upgrade from SuSE-7.1 to SuSE-8.1. This is the most important server for our customer. I'm doing remote administration, so I cannot access the machine directly.
The installation worked - but instead of performing the installation on '/dev/sda', as defined in the control file, this *§$%&# thing installed SuSE-8.1 on the data disk '/dev/sdb'. So now I can still boot SuSE-7.3, but all data of all users has been substituted by SuSE-8.1.
How could this happen?! I'm really getting nervous now about using AutoYast at all. Please help me.
The only explaination would be that during installation /dev/sda was replaced by /dev/sdb, but this is only an assumption. I will need the u2log files to know exactly what went wrong. This is the first time such a thing happens and I checked the code again and there is no reson why this should happen.
Can you please provide logs?
