Hi, I had a problem that was somehow equivalent.. I wanted to use a volume group (vg00), but if a vg00 was already on my disks the installation crashed... (with all the config of <use> I could find) I solved the problem using a pre script the remove the vg. And now it works very well. Maybe you should try to do the same with hda1 : -> try to remove or erase hda1 with a pre-script. I hope it will help you. Regards, Damien Selles.

I'm trying to configure a control file that destroy the existing primary partition hda1 and install SuSE freed with the deletion. To do that, I use <use>1</use> in the control file, but it doesn't seem to work. However <use>5,6,7</use> works, I guest it is due to 1 is a primary partition and 5,6,7 are logical units. It seems like autoyast has problems deleting a primary partition. Or not? Although I destroy the partition previously to the installation (with fdisk, for example) I also have problems with <partition_type>primary</partition_type>. It only seems to work when there is no other partitions in the disk. For example, if an extended partition previously exists, the partitions specified in the control file aren't created. Is possible to install SuSE in primary partitions when a extended partition already exist? How? I'm using SuSE 8.1, autoyast2-installation-2.6.42. Will the problem be fixed using a recent patched version? Is the problem fixed in SuSE 8.2? Any help to solve these problems is welcome.
