Hi,

I want autoinstall with opensuse 10.3.
HD is already partioned with SuSE 10.1, it has 4 primary partitions with 
reiserfs.

1. swap            1Gb
2. /               15Gb                 reiserfs
3. /export/opt     15Gb                 reiserfs
4. /export/home    43.5Gb (max)         reiserfs

I want to resize and reformat 1-3 with ext3 and keep data on 4.

1. swap         2Gb
2. /            20Gb                    ext3
3. /export/opt  9Gb                     ext3
4. /export/home 43.5Gb                  reiserfs <--- keep data !

I tried various configuration but I always get an error message:
"Error while configuring partitions, Try again". I only get something
workable if I create and format partition 4. too.

I tried with and without the <keep_partition_num> and <usepart> lines.
I tried with <use>all</use> too. I checked y2log but could not detect the
problem. Can someone please help ?

Here is one of the setups which don't work :

  <partitioning config:type="list">

        </partition>
      </partitions>
      <use>1,2,3</use>
      <keep_partition_num>4</keep_partition_num>
    </drive>
  </partitioning>
