I'm trying to install SLES10 on an IBM pSeries p655. I use the same partitioning scheme that I used successfully for SLES10 in i586, just that I need a special prep-type partition as /dev/sda1. However,
actually autoyast should create such a partition on it's own if it's needed. Something like "boot added automagically pb...." should appear in the log then.

Ay should not create this partition when I specify it... Looks like it doesn't recognize my partition as prep partition.
Can you try to remove your prep-partition from the profile?
I will try that. However, then I wonder how it would work with keeping partitions... That was my first try, because the hard disk already contains all the partitions with the settings specified in the profile. After that didn't work, I tried with creating because I thought that this should always work. I will try without the prep partition.
The log file is here:
is that really the correct log? It looks a lot different than the partitioning section you have posted
Aeh, no :-(( Sth. went wrong when moving the file. Now it's the correct one: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/y2log.ppc.gz cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
