By adding a separate /boot partition the situation inproves. (lilo is installed), however the install location (I specified "mbr" here) was ignored (Yast had chosen "hda5" instead).
So I changed "mbr" do "hda" and it worked...
... I think there's still some work to do - and some documentation to write :-)
The autoyast2 documentation is not a replacement for other documentation. The issue with the /boot partition is described elsewhere. The autoyast2 documentation does not cover these topics, as it is part of the general installation also.
It may be necessary/useful to add a boot partition, however my problems
cannot be solved by adding /boot (I tried). The problem seems to be
related to the updated module yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.27-0 (hope this
one is the latest). I tried the same setup with the original install
filesystem (suse/images/root) and it works fine. As soon as I replace
yast2-module-autoinst I can't get my system to reboot: I always end up
with some LILO error message (currently LI, but I've seen other, too)
Partitioning:
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/sda</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>

Hi again! I'm starting to get a little mad about this ... so I just have one more question: Does *anyone* use the updated package yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.27-0.noarch.rpm during the installation? If so I'd be glad to get a working configuration for the <bootloader> section. By now I've run about a hundred installs with different settings for the bootloader - no effect. YaST always takes the "/boot" partition for the lilo install target and therefore after the first reboot the system hangs ... I can't believe I'm the only one using the new packages - at least the developers should have run some tests with it ... so I'd really like to get some feedback on this topic. *PLEASE* Hope someone can help! Thanx, Marcel ---- Marcel Ritter Linux Betreuer Regionales Rechenzentrum Erlangen ---- Unix _IS_ user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
