Hello list, I have problems with partitioning and autoinstall on SuSE 9.3. What I want to do on my 120gb SATA disk: sda1 => primary, 8gb, ext3, / sda2 => extended, 8gb sda3 => primary, ext3, 48gb, /home sda4 => primary, ext3, rest (=max), /daten2 sda5 => logical, 4gb, swap sda6 => logical, 2gb, /var, ext3 sda7 => logical, 2gb, /tmp, ext3 What I get is: sda1 => primary, 8gb, ext3, / sda2 => primary, 8gb, unformatted sda3 => primary, ext3, 48gb, /home sda4 => extended, 8gb sda5 => logical, ext3, 40gb, /daten2 sda6 => logical, 4gb, swap sda7 => logical, 2gb, /var, ext3 sda8 => logical, 2gb, /tmp, ext3 My autoinst.xml-partitons section lokks like this: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <device>/dev/sda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>8gb</size> </partition> <partition> <partition_id config:type="integer">15</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr> <partition_type>extended</partition_type> <size>8gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/home</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>48gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/daten2</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">4</partition_nr> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>max</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_nr config:type="integer">5</partition_nr> <size>4gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/var</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">6</partition_nr> <size>2gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/tmp</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">7</partition_nr> <size>2gb</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> I have tried various possibilities (leaving the <partition_type>extended</partition_type>, different sorting etc.) without success. In other words: is it impossible to have an extended partition sda2 with autoyast? Is there a way how to do it? Maybe with pre-install-scripts? Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you, Boris
Hi, are there any known issues when running SLES9 32-bit on the new P4 EM64T processors? Installer says "Warning: installing 32-bit os on 64-bit machine" but installs fine. Regards Daniel

No.
Installer says "Warning: installing 32-bit os on 64-bit machine" but installs fine.
The warning is merely to alert you that you're installing a version of SLES that can't take full advantage of your hardware's capabilities. -- Ray Dassen Technical Support Engineer, EMEA Services Center Novell Technical Services http://support.novell.com/
Hi, I don't know if this has any bearing on it, but the partition_id for extended partitions is 5, not 15 - I don't know if this typo makes any difference, though. I never tried to put an extended partition "in the middle", I tend to use it as the last one. Am Donnerstag, 8. September 2005 10:32 schrieb Boris Wokurka:

Hi Björn. thanks for Your reply. I tried with 5_and_15 (because I found both in the mailinglist), but neither this nor that worked. However I'm a little bit confused about the digits - 15 is decimal for F in Hex, and afaik this is the right one for extended partitions. fdisk -l shows this on my PC: . . /dev/hda4 382 9728 75079777+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) ^^ If You know somethimg about this, please let me know. Thank You, Boris

No, I don't - I just remembered 5 from the output of fdisk, l within the program says: 5 Extended But 15 is probably correct, fdisk says: f W95 Ext'd (LBA) Björn -- Dr. Björn Lotz, Linux Curriculum Developer Novell Worldwide Training Services Novell GmbH, Frankfurter Ring 115a, 80807 München Tel: 089/206002000 Fax: 089/206002100
