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. Here's part of the control file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <general> <mode><confirm config:type="boolean">false</confirm></mode> <hwclock>localtime</hwclock> <keyboard> <keymap>german</keymap> </keyboard> <language>en_US</language> <mouse>probe</mouse> <timezone>Europe/Berlin</timezone> </general> <partitioning config:type="list" > <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <partitions config:type="list" > <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >swap</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <size>1gb</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >ext3</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>/</mount> <size>max</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ :-(Erik. --
