Dear all, as a systemadministrator for a research group at a university,I'd like to use autoyast to install version 9.3 on all the computers. While trying my autoyast file on a test system, I get this error while partitioning: "Error while configuring partitions. Try again." When I look at the partitioning after this, it looks like yast is determining it's own partitioning scheme, since it partitions a swap partition first and then a / partition. my configuration file looks like this (for partitioning): <partitioning> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions> <partition> <mount>/</mount> <size>3gb</size> </partition> <partition> <mount>swap</mount> <size>auto</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> after checking y2log I found the following error: 2005-07-01 07:24:22 <3> linux(2771) [Interpreter] clients/inst_autosetup.ycp:118 Can't convert value '$["drive":$["device":"/dev/hda", "partitions":$["partition":$["mount":"swap", "size":"auto"]], "use":"all"]]' to type 'list' 2005-07-01 07:24:22 <3> linux(2771) [Interpreter] clients/inst_autosetup.ycp:118 Parameter eval failed (/* any -> list */Profile::Flat["partitioning"]:[]) 2005-07-01 07:24:22 <1> linux(2771) [YCP] AutoinstStorage.ycp:300 Target map: $["/dev/hda":$["bios_id":"0x80", "bus":"IDE", "cyl_count":13328, "cyl_size":483328, "label":"msdos", "max_logical":63, "max_primary":4, "model":"MPD3064AT", "name":"1.

When I look at the partitioning after this, it looks like yast is determining it's own partitioning scheme, since it partitions a swap partition first and then a / partition.
my configuration file looks like this (for partitioning):
It should look slightly different...
<partitioning> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition> <mount>/</mount> <size>3gb</size> </partition> <partition> <mount>swap</mount> <size>auto</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning>
In order to catch these kind of errors early on, you could use... % xmllint --nooout --valid autoinst.xml R /LarS
after checking y2log I found the following error:
