Uwe, have some problems to install 3 raidpartitions in a extended partition with lvm on top. example: sda5,sdb5=raidpair1 raid1 with /dev/system on top sda6,sdb6=raidpair2 raid1 with /dev/home ... Do I have to declare the extended partition or does the engine know to create the extended partition when a partition_nr >4 is specified? Where do I have to specify the partition_nr? I declared in the drive block for sda partition_nr 5, raid_name /dev/md0 partition_nr 6 raid_name /dev/md1 <partition> 253 5 /dev/md0 <size>16G</size></partition> </partition> The same for the drive block sdb In drive block for /dev/md for each lvm_group something like <partition> system 5 false raid1 </partition> Do I have to provide above the same partition_nr like for the äquivalent sdx-partition? Or should I omit the partition_nr? The drive block for the lvg looks like below <drive> <device>/dev/system</device> true <lvm2 config:type="boolean">true</lvm2> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> root <mount>/</mount> <size>10G</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> tmp <mount>/tmp</mount> <size>1G</size> </partition> </partitions> <pesize>4M</pesize> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> There is still something wrong with my configuration. yast2.log shows creation of /dev/md5 /dev/md6 /dev/md7. The installation ends with an error in the partition section.

which is the correct entry for an extended partition_type: extended ?

don't specify the extended partition in the profile. partition_nr > 4 will be a logic one in an extended partition.

Hi Uwe, forgot to mention the error happens on sled10. There is no driverupdate for sled10 on the downloadarea.

the engine knows that. Don't try to specify it on your own. Your profile will break. Please use the driverupdate on www.suse.de/~ug (downloadarea) you might have

hit a bug that is fixed there.
