Ok, the wrong order was a result of my forcing lvm to be a
primary partition, but / and /boot not.

pvscan shows, that the partition is a pv.
vgscan shows, that there are no active vg. But I can
see /dev/system/group (I can remove /dev/system and recreate
a vg system. After that the installation will continue)

I wish you could have classes (or templates) which you could easily
combine not only in the yast2-config-tool. (which is awful to use
if you have to run it in textmode)

The classes should not only be reserved for normal config, but also
for software-selections.

Btw. Why is it that attribute-type entries are saved as tag-entries
in the xml format. like <lvm_group><pesize>8M</pesize></lvm_group> should
be <lvm_group pesize="8M"></lvm_group>

And is there a real dtd available? It would be nice for editing the
xml-files in emacs :)

Thanks (sorry for the lengthy mail)
Felix
