Hi,
I am installing openSUSE 11.3 from USB in a 64 bit HP system with one harddisk of 300GB size. I created bootable USB from uNetBootIn. I am getting a strange partitioning problem when trying to install from autoyast in autoyast “creating partition plan” section. Error message says “Error While Configuring Partitions. Try Again” and then the installation terminates. I use following autoyast xml for partitioning.
<partitioning config:type=“list”>
<drive>
<device>/dev/sda</device>
<initialize config:type=“boolean”>false</initialize>
<partitions config:type=“list”>
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">true</create>
<crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem>
<filesystem_id config:type="integer">131</filesystem_id>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>
<mount>/boot</mount>
<mountby config:type="symbol">id</mountby>
<partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
<partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr>
<size>200M</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">true</create>
<crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
<filesystem_id config:type="integer">130</filesystem_id>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>
<mount>swap</mount>
<mountby config:type="symbol">id</mountby>
<partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id>
<partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr>
<size>4G</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">true</create>
<crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext4</filesystem>
<filesystem_id config:type="integer">131</filesystem_id>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>
<mount>/</mount>
<mountby config:type="symbol">id</mountby>
<partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
<partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr>
<size>max</size>
</partition>
</partitions>
<type config:type="symbol">CT_DISK</type>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
</partitioning>
If I remove this part from my profile xml, the installation goes through with the default partitioning.
Any help to a working solution is highly appreciated.
