partitioning problem

7 Sep 2005

      Hello,

I try to auto-install 9.2 and leave my first (windows) partition
untouched. How can I do that?
When autoyast is partitioning my disk, it deletes the extended partition
no. 2 (ok). Then it tries to create first linux partition at start
cylinder 0 but there is my windows partition. It should start after end
of first partition:

device      size      F   type   mountpoint   start   end
/dev/hda   37.2GB                                0   4864
/dev/hda1   9.9GB         NTFS                   0   1303
/dev/hda2   39.2MB   F   ext3   /boot            0   4
/dev/hda3   1GB      F   swap   swap             5   135
...

What I'm doing wrong?

Here's the partition part of my autoinst.xml:
