SLES10 (beta8) + JS21 + Partitioning

[Torsten Bloth]

Hi all,

today I made first steps with AutoYast from SLES10 Beta8.
So I made a default SLES10 installation and took the autoyast xml file
created after the installtion.

Running another installation with this autoyast config doesn't work.
The installer stopped at "Create partition plans" with a "Error while
configuring partitions." issue.

The section created by Yast lookes like this
------
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/sda</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<partition_id config:type="integer">65</partition_id>
<partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr>
<size>262144</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>swap</mount>
<partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id>
<partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr>
<size>1073741824</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/</mount>
<partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
<partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr>
<size>35309748224</size>
</partition>
</partitions>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
</partitioning>

Not too bad in my eyes.
But why does it stop?

My second shot was to minimize the config to
------
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
</partitioning>
------

This works fine for me since a long time for SLES9 (all SP's).

Any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance,

Torsten
