This is the y2log of 10.3 installation and parted still reports
/usr/sbin/parted -s /dev/sda unit cyl print
BIOS cylinder,head,sector geometry: 14589,255,63. Each cylinder is 8225kB.
Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
So it is just the same problem as in the original logs.
But since you did exactly the same as in original report there is no surprise
in this. As long as you have a partition layout that is not supported by parted
you will not be able to repartition the disk unless you create a complete new
partition table.
If possible could you attach the content of /var/log/YaST2 of SLES10 install
on the disk. Alternatively you could provide me with ssh root access to the
machine.
