there is a known issue with Yast2, which cannot manage Partitions larger than 1TB. After lots of problems with grub not booting, I have split our scsi-attached RAID into 1TB pieces and intalled LILO. parted had such a bug (and is used by YaST2) - and that one will be fixed with 9.1.
I ran into this problem when trying to install SuSE SLES 8 x86 (32 bit) on my system. At the section where I was trying to do initial disk partitioning, it presented my big RAID as having a negative number of blocks. But my problems also showed up after installing the 64 bit version of SLES 8; as I explained before. eyc
