Hello! I found some very strange behaviour while trying to let autoyast create partitions on /dev/hda and /dev/hdb. The partitioning scheme I need is very simple: /dev/hda1 - /boot (primary, auto size, ext2) /dev/hda2 - swap (primary, auto size) /dev/hda3 - / (primary, max size, reiser) /dev/hdb1 - /home (primary, max size, reiser) Autoinstall was fine while I was using /dev/hda only. But after /dev/hdb1 was added, yast2 died while installing the RPMs - fried by the OOM-killer. I could strip down the problem to a possible bug in autoyast. The XML below contains only the partition info, it was created from scratch with autoyast from SUSE 10.0 (but SUSE 9.3 does the same). The partitioning in the first interactive install screen says only "create /dev/hdb1 with reiserfs", all info from /dev/hda ist lost. With my full autoinstall XML this screen was not shown, the installer has no real root, uses the ramdisk - and gets slayed some minutes later by the OOM-killer. Can anyone comfirm this problem, or am I misunderstanding some of the autoyast options (i.e.the "primary" or the "auto/max")?
