[opensuse-autoinstall] bootloader problem (10.3)
Hi,
We're using AutoYaST for installing some servers. We've encountered a
strange problem: installation on a HP DL380 works perfectly, as ware
the same installation on a HP DL360 fails after the first reboot. It
looks like grub isn't found on the disk.
Both servers have the same SCSI controller (cciss).
On a DL380 the following partition configuration is enough to work:
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/cciss/c0d0</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
<create config:type="boolean">true</create>
<mount>swap</mount>

/dev/cciss/c0d0 grub <location>mbr</location>true </bootloader>
Try leaving out the device part.. let it find it itself based on the
install. I usually avoid using device lines for partitioning when
possible too and it tends to work well. The bootloader section I use by
default is:
<bootloader>
<activate config:type="boolean">false</activate>
