Maybe I have an answer to your first question: AFAIK the autoinstaller will create new partitions at the END of the disk. You mention that you have already 2 partitions at the end of the disk.... A possible solution is to do the partitioning yourself in a script and leave the disk untouched by the autoinstaller. Regards Harry

Hello Ansa,

I am new on the AutoYast mailinglist and today i want to contact you with following problem:

goal is to autoinstall SUSE 8.2 in a 3GB primary ext2 partition for "/" and 300 MB for an additonal 300MB swap (as primary) keeping the already existing logical 300 MB swap and 2500MB ext2 at the end of the harddisk.

I use a grub bootfloppy with the image from your website. It loads the kernel via tftp and makes the rest via nfs. Yast2 starts and reads the autoinst.xml.

Result: No space left on Harddisk.

I made the section "region_entry config" by hand based on a start autoinst from yast2.

To create the two additional partitions with parted is no problem, but yast2 has problems to do this.

What could be the reason?

My second problem is when booting with a compiled grub bootloader from floppy on a second PC. Here I build grub from the spec file with the option "--enable-eepro100" for supporting an Intel 82801 BD PRO/100 VE onboard network card. When booting with this floppy, the module EEPRO100 can't be loaded. Did I enable the correct network device in the spec file or which is the right one?

With regards and thanks for your affords,
