[opensuse-autoinstall] SLES 9, Autoyast, and LVM
Hello All,
This is my first post, so if I'm doing something wrong, please let me know.
I've got a problem with my setup somewhere and I'm not sure where the
problem is. I have autoyast set up to install SLES 9 on LVM. The
partition table (should) look like this:
/boot - Real partition
swap - Real partition
system - name of the volume group
/ - lv
/opt - lv
/usr - lv
/var - lv
/home - lv
all of the logical volumes are in the system volume group. Autoyast
installs everything correctly, and seems happy enough, but on reboot
the mapper is unable to find the system volume group, leading to a
kernel panic.
I'm sure this is a quick fix somewhere, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Thanks for the suggestions, but it does not seem to have worked.
Defining the swap space actually seems to have a very negative effect
on the lvm volume, using this example, the lvm reports that there is
not enough expects available.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Jon

hm. I just tried it and it's working fine here Please post the new version of the autoyast profile you are using now. It's enough to post the partitioning section. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing Frozen Plasma - Hypocrite (Extended Electronics Mix) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
Looks like I had a hardware problem, nothing to do with autoyast after
all! Thanks for your help!
