"ERROR: No proposal" message with default install params
Hello there, Since I couldn't get LVM working, I decided to give a very very minimal partitioning setup a test. I copied the sample code verbatim from http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/9.0/html/createprofile.partitio ning.html, e.g. Example 4-4, I just copied and pasted it into my control file. When I get to the confirmation step of the autoinstall, under "Partitioning" it says "ERROR: No proposal". BTW, I've verified that the device names match, e.g. my system uses /dev/hda. So, shouldn't the example on the website actually work? Thanks for any help... Here's the relevant section of my control file: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> Dave C --------------------------------------------------------- David Corlette mailto:corlette@huarp.harvard.edu (617)495-5922 http://www.arp.harvard.edu

Try to create this setup with the autoyast module, and see if that works. Cheers, Leen
Thanks for your response, Leen. I went to a working machine, opened up the autoinstall configuration utility, and used it to create the partitions I wanted. Then I saved that file, and sucked everything between <partition> and </partition> (inclusive) into my existing control file (just after the </general>). Then I tried the install again. I still got an "ERROR: No proposal". Below is the code generated by the autoinstallation config utility. Anyone see any problems? Thanks!

I would try a manual install (up to the *green* dialog, from where on changes are permanent), and see how YaST's partitioning proposal looks like (are the HD's recognized). Cheers, Leen
