Dear List

With my autoyast script I get a dialog "Error while configuring partitions. Try again." during the phase 'Create partition plans.'

A syslog server sees only a few kernel log message from the install host. The /var/log/Yast2 log on the install host gives no clue about what the error is.

Can anyone suggest how to get a more useful diagnostic?

Here is my xml file FWIW
