The SLE AutoYaST profile sized the root partition with <size>auto</size>, which
lets YaST pick a size and can leave the rest of the disk unused. RHEL
(part / --grow) and Ubuntu (root uses the remaining space) both give root the
whole disk; make SUSE consistent by using <size>max</size>. Swap stays auto.

On a node whose OS disk is an Intel RSTe/VROC software RAID (/dev/md/Volume0_0
or /dev/md/Volume0), disk auto-detection finds nothing and getinstdisk falls
back to the hard-coded /dev/sda. Prefer the VROC volume over that default.
Only fires when no install disk was otherwise selected and the VROC device
actually exists, so it cannot mis-select over a real disk and has no effect on
non-VROC systems. The original commit hooked into a lenovobuild-specific M.2
detection block absent from master; adapted to master's fallback point.
Not lab-validated (no VROC hardware available).
Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (c6c70e5).
The generated /opt/xcat/xcatinstallpost ran the install postscripts first and
only disabled the xcatpostinit1 service afterwards. If one of those postscripts
rebooted the node (for example a firmware or kernel update), the service was
still enabled, so on the next boot the whole postscript set ran again from the
start. Disable the service *before* running the postscripts so a mid-postscript
reboot cannot re-trigger them.
The disable decision reads OSVER (base variant only), RUNBOOTSCRIPTS and
NODESTATUS, which the included xcatinstallpost script would otherwise set.
Moving the INCLUDE below the disable block leaves those variables unset, so read
them up front (the included script re-reads them) and source xcatlib.sh so
msgutil_r is available; the disable decision is then identical to before.
The original change (lenovobuild 9184cbe0) touched only the legacy post.xcat.
Modern EL uses the systemd variants: post.xcat.ng (RHEL/CentOS 8 and 9) and
post.xcat.rhels10 (RHEL 10). Apply the same reorder to all three so the fix
actually takes effect on current platforms.
Lab-validated with a full AlmaLinux 9.8 stateful install (post.xcat.ng path):
the generated xcatinstallpost disables the service before running the
postscripts, the postscripts run exactly once, the node reaches "booted", and
with the default NODESTATUS=1 the service is left enabled just as before.
Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (original 9184cbe0), adapted and
extended to the .ng and .rhels10 variants.

This configures automated installation using the subiquity installer, as
documented at
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart and other
locations on the Internet.
Installation uses the NFS export of /install, and configures the
installer to use the nocloud-net datasource, creating a per-node
directory containing the processed template file as the user-data file,
and an empty meta-data file.
Kernel and initrd files are pulled from the casper/ directory under the
package dir.
Unnecessary elements of the kernel command line have been removed in the
subiquity installer path.
Support has been added for selecting a subiquity specific default
template, as well as an updated pre-install script and some minor POSIX
shell compliance fixes for the getinstdisk script.
