SLES8 and keeping partitions / linuxrc and installation media
Hi, I am trying to do a disk-to-disk installation using SLES 8 and autoyast. Now I have two questions: 1) Is it possible to keep disk partitions? And if yes, how? I figured it out for SuSE 9.0 but it does not work this way for SLES 8. 2) I prepared a source repository as described in 6.1.3 in http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/sles8/html/advanced.html#AEN1321 on partition /dev/hda7 (the last one on the disk). The info file for linuxrc seems to work but linuxrc always says "/dev/hda7 is not a SuSE Linux installation media". After trying DHCP on the NICs it runs into the textual UI of linuxrc. When I select installation from harddisk and then /dev/hda7 as source, everything works fine. Any ideas? Regards, i. A.
