Hello,

i'm trying to set up a autoyast installation for pBlades and i get some problems.

First question: Is yaboot supported in autoyast? It is supported in the normal Yast2 of the ppc64 distribution... Second question: How to i enforce that a partitions is a primary partition? In the documentation it says it should be possible by using partition_id, but i did not found any hint which value to use. 130? 5?, 131 seems to be logical drive...

partition_id does not determine if a partition should be primary or logical. To make a partition primary, you can either specify that using <partition_type>primary</partition_type> or by using the partition_nr with a valid primary partition number (1-4 on ia32)

I also get a problem with partitioning if there are some partitions from a previous run...

You have to remove those, using <use>all</use> Anas
