Hi Josep, According to the documentation ( can't remember where exactly ) it's stated that the preseed system can't handle 2 disks. I'm trying to find a decent work around for it but no luck yet. All we can do is hope the Debian developers will fix this some day.

I use lenny, I do tests in Virtualbox virtual machines, I have one HD of 40GB in these virtual machine, now I added a second hard disk in the virtual machine, but I can't found how to do for create a partition on this second hard disk. Thanks Josep This is the related info, I changed this: d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \ boot-root :: \ 28000 512 28000 ext3 \ $primary{ } $bootable{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ / } \ . \ 800 512 800 linux-swap \ $primary{ } \ method{ swap } format{ } \ . \ 14130 256 14600 ext3 \ $primary{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ /home } \ . For this: d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \ boot-root :: \ 28000 512 28000 ext3 \ $primary{ } $bootable{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ / } \ . \ 800 512 800 linux-swap \ $primary{ } \ method{ swap } format{ } \ . \ 14130 256 14600 ext3 \ $primary{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ /home } \ . 40000 256 40000 ext3 \ $primary{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ /systembeta } \ And this is the full preseed part related to partitioning: ### Partitioning # If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space. #d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free # Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name must # be given in traditional non-devfs format. # Note: A disk must be specified, unless the system has only one disk. # For example, to use the first SCSI/SATA hard disk: #d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda # In addition, you'll need to specify the method to use. # The presently available methods are: "regular", "lvm" and "crypto" d-i partman-auto/method string regular # If one of the disks that are going to be automatically partitioned # contains an old LVM configuration, the user will normally receive a # warning. This can be preseeded away... d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true # The same applies to pre-existing software RAID array: d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true # And the same goes for the confirmation to write the lvm partitions. d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true # You can choose one of the three predefined partitioning recipes: # - atomic: all files in one partition # - home: separate /home partition # - multi: separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic # Or provide a recipe of your own... # The recipe format is documented in the file devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt. # If you have a way to get a recipe file into the d-i environment, you can # just point at it. #d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /hd-media/recipe # If not, you can put an entire recipe into the preconfiguration file in one # (logical) line. This example creates a small /boot partition, suitable # swap, and uses the rest of the space for the root partition: d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \ boot-root :: \ 28000 512 28000 ext3 \ $primary{ } $bootable{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ / } \ . \ 800 512 800 linux-swap \ $primary{ } \ method{ swap } format{ } \ . \ 14130 256 14600 ext3 \ $primary{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ /home } \ . 40000 256 40000 ext3 \ $primary{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ &#-1;&#-1; mountpoint{ /systembeta } \ .. . # This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation, provided # that you told it what to do using one of the methods above. d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true d-i partman/choose_partition select finish d-i partman/confirm boolean true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
