I ended up doing mine manually as well. I am doing RAID6 on some of the
systems. YAST doesn't even have an option for that so I end up doing it in a
post-boot script.

Subject: Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] Error in autoyast install process

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

your partitioning section looks not so good.
/dev/sdb looks strange and can (should) be removed out of
your profile.
on sda you don't want to create any partition except for one in the
middle of all others. That's a problem with autoyast. Set create to
"false" for the root partition too or set all other partitions to
create=true with a <use>all</use> maybe

It should also be noted that my autoinst.xml file fails RNG
validation
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=211014#c21)

you can ignore that.
