Obviously, I don't understand partitioning very well. On SuSE 9.0 autoinstall, I have one disk for normal linux installation: this worked somehow ok. I added another disk (/dev/hdb) that is partitioned already, and it should just mount its partition to some directory. So I added this one. But it now ends up in some "unknown error", aborting the installation. What is happening? Neither in http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/9.0/html/index.html nor in the profile reference http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/8.1/profile/index.html I found any hint on what might be wrong with it, nor did I find any note on how to do it correctly. The whole partitioning scheme now looks like this: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr> <size>3GB</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem> <mount>/var/cache/openafs</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr> <size>1gb</size> </partition> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <mount>/</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">5</partition_nr> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>2,3,4,5,6,7</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/hdb</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</create> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> <mount>/scratch</mount> </partition> </partitions> </drive> </partitioning> If anyone can help...?
