I have modified my autoyast to a simpler partitioning scheme. This seems
to work. However, eventually I will need to add support for a more
advanced partitioning scheme with multiple drives. Do you suggest using
the Autoinstallation tool, or editing the bare xml file? I have attached
the modified autoinst.xml file. Below is the partitioning scheme I would
like to implement.

sda1
- /boot 100M
- /swap 2GB
- /     30GB
- LVM   max
sda2
- LVM   max
volgrp1
- logical volume 1 max

Sorry if I responded to the wrong address
