Hello everyone!
I'm trying to install SLES10 in an IBM OpenPower machine, and I'm having some weird problems when AY starts to format the partitions. The issue takes place when it tries to set up the swap partition ID to 0x82. Sometimes AY just breaks and I get back to the shell, sometimes it shows an error message: -1012 "could not set /dev/sda7 id to 82".
Errors like this are often udev related. Remember that device files are generated dynamically in SLES10, so after creating a new partition 'udev' needs some time to recognize this and provide a matching /dev entry. Please make a bugreport to further analyze this. Klaus
