Problem setting up the partition table

18 Nov 2004

      Hello all, 

I'm setting up a SUSE autoinstallation environment for the first time,
and things are going relatively smoothly, EXCEPT... when it comes time
to set up the partition table, autoyast complains that it can't set up
the swap space on /dev/hda5. This is perplexing, since I only specified
three partitions, including the swap space. I've included the pertinent
part of the xml config file below. Any tips would be greatly
appreciated! 

Thanks, 
Eric Schwartz.
