Hi Uwe, after spending the last 2 days on the problem, here is my conslusion: the driverupdate file gets not integrated into the installation system, when it is a cpio archive. After creating a cramfs with the same contents, it works (updates are copied to /update/y2update). Creating multiple VG did also not work. I patched the file AutoinstLVM.ycp and now it seems to work. The patch file is attached to this email and i have not testet other partitioning profiles with it, yet, but maybe this patch will lead to a tidy solution. I must confess, not to understand much of the yast2 code, so i'm not sure, whether the changes are correct. Here is the partitioning snippet of my autoyast profile: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/boot</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>auto</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>auto</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>1GB</size> </partition> <partition> <lvm_group>system</lvm_group> <mount></mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">142</partition_id> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/system</device> <is_lvm_vg config:type="boolean">true</is_lvm_vg> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>usr</lv_name> <mount>/usr</mount> <size>2GB</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>var</lv_name> <mount>/var</mount> <size>2GB</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>opt</lv_name> <mount>/opt</mount> <size>2GB</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>home</lv_name> <mount>/home</mount> <size>1GB</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>tmp</lv_name> <mount>/tmp</mount> <size>1GB</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>srv</lv_name> <mount>/srv</mount> <size>1GB</size> </partition> </partitions> <pesize>4M</pesize> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/sdb</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <lvm_group>database</lvm_group> <mount></mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">142</partition_id> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>9GB</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/database</device> <is_lvm_vg config:type="boolean">true</is_lvm_vg> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>oracle</lv_name> <mount>/var/opt/oracle</mount> <size>8GB</size> </partition> </partitions> <pesize>4M</pesize> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> Regards Oliver Schweikert Software Development Horiba Europe Automation Division GmbH Zabergäustr. 3 73765 Neuhausen Tel: +49 - (0)7158-933-413 Fax: +49 - (0)7158-933-613 Email: osw@head.de
