[opensuse-autoinstall] Not Creating /dev/md

6 Jul 2010

      I'm having trouble with getting autoyast to create software RAID devices. The partitions get created on the devices but the /dev/md devices fail to get created. This is for SLED 11.0. The partition setup I'd like is the following.

/sd*1	md0	/boot
/sd*2		swap
/sd*3	md1	/var
/sd*4	md2	/

This is the partition section of the autoinst.xml, I've compared it with the autoyast documentation and it looks like it should work.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
