I'm using the partitioning_advanced feature:

http://www.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_doc/CreateProfile.Partitioning.html#id2552126

to upgrade a collection of boxes to SLES10SP2 while keeping some of the 
filesystems intact. Two problems:

1) I have to add the two swap partitions on each system by hand after
   the install is complete. I can't find any syntax which would allow me
   to list the two partitions in the autoyast file, and they aren't
   picked up automatically by partitioning_advanced.

2) The new /etc/fstab uses "/dev/disk/by-id" names rather than simple
   device names like "/dev/sda1", even though I am using e.g:

       <partition>
         <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
         <mountby config:type="symbol">device</mountby>
         <mount>/var</mount>
       </partition>

I think that (2) might be a known bug, although the following:

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=364793#c1

suggests that it should have been fixed in SP2.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
