Hi Anas
First of all sorry for any kind of inconvenience is not my wishes I am in a process of a big customer migration to suse 80 professional using autoyast2.
Just only in some servers, i have troubles during the partitionig phase of autoyast2, seems like the suse version is not able to re-read the partition table, even with the <initialize> tag included within the driver section.
when the error occurs is shown a panel that indicates that the system has an invalid partition (re-try, abort, continue) if a hit the continue button the partitions are successfully formated and the suse installation progress but the lilo is no activated at the end of installation.
please are you so kind to help me about that trouble ?
Could be a good upgrade to autoyast2 allows to creates partitions with a 3rd utility like sfdisk included within a user scripts (another user-exit to autoyast :D )
I am working on this matter, I am reading the ycp autoyast programs to do that my self, but will be an unsopported hint or not :D
Best Regards

Hi Anas
First of all thanks for your help
I changes the xml as you explain in the attached note but without success:
<partitioning config:type="list" > <drive> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <device>/dev/rd/c0d0</device> <reuse>all</reuse> </drive> </partitioning>
what is wrong ?
resierfs and DAC960 modules are loaded before autoyast2 taking place.

[Feb 05. 2003 17:20]: Hi Anas
I added the tag <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> but no changes (is produced the same error).
This system has a DAC960 hardware raid and the module is successfully loaded before autoyast2 excution.
fdisk -l /dev/rd/c0d0 see successfuly the phisical disk
bellow is exposed the whole xml file:
