Hi, It does not make sense to post such reports without further information like the profile you are using, logs and how the machine was partitioned before running the autoinstall. From the the description below I can just say that the machines are not identical or the profile you are using has something tied to the hardware, i.e. it depends on existing partitoons etc. Anas Anthony Staples wrote:
Hello,
I am encountering the following problem with autoinstall process. 1) I manually install NLD 1.6 on a reference machine, Dell GX60. 2) I create a reference profile on the DELL GX60 using YAST and autoinstall module. 3) I reboot the _reference_ machine from bootable CD for autoyast and autoinstall runs and installs NLD on the machine. 4) At this point all _seems_ well. 5) I boot a different GX60 with identical hardware and specs from the same CD for autoinstallation. 6) Yast fails during format of /dev/hda2 with the following error:
"Could not format /dev/hda2. you can continue if you know what you are doing, but, to prevent damage to your filesystems, it is safer to cancel and reboot"
However, if the error is ignored, since I want to re-install the target machine, files seem to copy and then the install fails later with lots of missing files.
Seems as tho' my reference profile is only good for the original reference machine, which doesn't make much sense...
Any insights or help appreciated!!!
Regards, Tony
