I've been working extensively with Autoyast and SLES 8 to create custom automated installations for testing purposes on several platforms. I've been able to work around a few problems on ix86 and x86_64 platforms, but I've hit a road block on ppc64 that I simply cannot solve. The hardware is an IBM PSeries P615, PowerPC architecture. I'm trying to install SLES 8 with Service Pack 3 via autoyast natively on the box (ie not on a logical partition). The process seems to work, until the machine reboots, at which point Linux is not able to boot, as there is no /etc/yaboot.conf file. In recovery mode, I can access the system and see that the machine appears to have been installed properly, minus the delinquent yaboot.conf file. Here are the pertinent parts of my autoinst.xml file: ... <bootloader> <location>ppc_chrp</location> </bootloader> ... <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> 65 1 <region config:type="list"> 0 2 </region> <size>2097153</size> </partition> <partition> <mount>swap</mount> 130 2 <region config:type="list"> 2 513 </region> <size>1073741825</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <mount>/</mount> 131 3 <region config:type="list"> 515 16842 </region> <size>35318136833</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> Help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dustin
