Hi,

I'm trying to install a HP ProLiant DL380 with Ubuntu via a preseed config
file. All goes well, except for the partitioning part.
The server makes use of Smartarray.

the partitioning part in the preseed file is shown below:

d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-auto/disk /dev/cciss/c0d0
d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
                   boot-root ::                                         \
                        2048 50 2048 ext3                               \
                        $primary{ }                                     \
                        method{ format } format{ }                      \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }            \
                        mountpoint{ / }                                 \
                        .                                               \
                        2048 50 2048 linux-swap                         \
                        $primary{ } method{ swap } format{ }            \
                        .                                               \
                        4096 50 4096 ext3                               \
                        method{ format } format{ }                      \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }            \
                        mountpoint{ /usr }                              \
                        .                                               \
                        4096 50 4096 ext3                               \
                        method{ format } format{ }                      \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }            \
                        mountpoint{ /var }                              \
                        .                                               \
                        2048 50 2048 ext3                               \
                        method{ format } format{ }                      \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }            \
                        mountpoint{ /tmp }                              \
                        .                                               \
                        4096 50 1000000000 ext3                         \
                        method{ format } format{ }                      \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }            \
                        mountpoint{ /data }                             \
                        .
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition \
       select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
d-i partman/confirm boolean true

The installer doesn't show an error, so I don't know where or what is going
wrong.
Can anyone shed a light on this ?


cheers,
Andy
