Partitioning Problem setting up 3 partitions
Hello, I have been trying to get partitioning to work without success. I have installed the patch file yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.27rc3-0.noarch.rpm and I still get the error: "fdisk failed The disk has an unsupported partition table. Repartition disk /dev/hda" Prior to this message - a brief message appears and then is replaced by the for mentioned. It reports that /boot requires (1.8 mb) more space and / requires (10gb) more space. The drive has a 18.2 gb capacity. The drive has a previous install of SuSE 8.0 on it. I have tried the "auto" settings. I have put in static values for size for each but still get the same error each time. Can anyone help me with this? Here is the partition section of my control file: <partitioning config:type="list" > <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions config:type="list" > <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >ext2</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>/boot</mount> <size>50mb</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >swap</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <size>auto</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >reiser</filesystem> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> <mount>/</mount> <size>max</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> Any help would be appreciated.
