Hi!

I've a DL385 G1 server installed via PXE with SLP9.3 
Now I try to re-install on the same server SuSE 10.2 also via PXE and the 
following error occurs:
"The partitioning on disk /dev/cciss/c0d0 is not readable by
the partition tool parted, which is used to change the partition table.
..."
Stopping here the installation process and changing to tty2
I found that in y2log the following is logged:

You can use the partitions on disk /dev/cciss/c0d0 as they are.
You can format them and assign mount points to them, but you
cannot add, edit, resize, or remove partitions from that
disk with this tool.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Doesn't look like it can't read it. The cmd run in the shell on the system 
at this stage nicely lists the available partitions (from the former 
installation). No error.

Any help is appreciated.
