Thank you for your help. This worked wonderfully. However, once the install is complete I have /dev/hda6 and /dev/hda7 as my /boot and / partitions. Not that it's a huge issue, but to keep things clean I would obviously like to have these on /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2.
try to add <partition_type>primary</partition_type> to all partitions in the profile then.
One more thing: When using the AutoYast utility to include a postinstall script, it embeds the shell script in the xml file and has a blank <location> tag, and does not run. What's the recommended way to do this?
the <location> element is only needed if you don't have the script in the autoyast profile itself. Autoyast will try to fetch the script from the <location> then. http://www.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_doc/createprofile.scripts.html#post-insall....
I tried specifying the <location> of the script (full path + script name), however, this didn't work either.
post scripts should work. Their use is very common. Maybe there is a syntax error in the script? After the installation, you can find a log about the scripts run in /var/adm/autoinstall/logs (I should add the to the documentation). Anyway, if you don't find a log there, look at /var/log/YaST2/y2log after the installation and search for your script name. Maybe you can see errors there. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
