this will not work, since hardware probing is already done before the pre-script runs. YaST will not know about your new partitioning.
The setup I'm currently using does something along the lines of this. It's a bit bastardised, but essentially we do this, from a pre-install shell script:
if [ ! PARTITIONING_HAS_BEEN_DONE ]; then ... do partioning, and then force a reboot immediately ... fi
By immediately rebooting, we kill YaST, and then on the second boot, when we run YaST again, it can probe hardware and be happy.
yes, of course this works too ;) I try to let autoyast reread the partition table after the pre-script for SUSE Linux 10.0 and all following versions. I hope that will make no problems with other components but if it works, then you can do whatever you want with the harddisk in a pre-script. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
