your partitioning XML looks good and should work -- 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 listening to: This Is My Riffle (Extended Remix) by Combichrist -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Agreed .. It works on some servers, but not on others. Which does not make sense because I do NOT change the partition scheme across installations. :) A user just recently posted the attached in the opensuse mailing list about the problem. But if there is a more elegant way of resolving this problem, that would be ideal. Especially since it is suppose to be "automated". :) LDB

Even when I manually install it, then "Clone the system" to produce a /root/autoinst.xml file. I used the file produced via autoyast, without modifying it, and it still had the same results. This is sooo odd ... LDB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

with SLES10 SP1 i had a simliar problem which was in the end due to a bug in mkinitrd-1.2-106.57 (Novell Bugzilla #288510 - not public) so if you are using SLES10 SP1 maybe try the new mkinitrd http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=8EaGLiRIHDQ~ Regards, Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Thank you Michael .. I will have to install during the installation phase, which means I have to execute an RPM installation in the "chroot section" of the autoinstallation process. Can I safely execute: rpm --relocate /=/mnt -Uvh http://192.168.10.56/rpms/mkinitrd.rpm Thanks, LDB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Sorry I don't know. I have put the new RPM into a existing "add_on_product" in the installation source. AY then picks the mkinitrd with the highest version number to install. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
