I did some more testing.
If I have a gap somewhere between the partitions or in front of the first
partition, my partitioning scheme is not used by AutoYaST.
That is a big problem for me because I need to have the Windows partition
at the beginning of the disk, otherwise Win 98 is not bootable.
I tried the new tag partitioning_advanced, but I found the partitions
don't get formatted and the old system (SuSE 10.1) is merged with the new
system (10.2). So this is not an alternative.
I am really stuck with this.
I think AutoYaST is not supposed to act in this way. If you have a patch for
me, I could test it on my system, since I use a central repository on my
server and could use the patch as "y2update".
Thank you for any help.
