This is a known bug - I saw it too. Upgrade your spooled distribution to SP3. jochen.kirn@daimlerchrysler.com wrote:

Steve,

hmm, i already have these options included (see below), that's why I'm wondering

<general> ... <mode> <confirm config:type="boolean">false</confirm> <forceboot config:type="boolean">false</forceboot> false <reboot config:type="boolean">false</reboot> </mode> ... </general>

in addition if I reinstall a previously installed system (which already has some raid devices, e.g. /dev/md0) autoyast complains that it can't create those raid devices because the autoyast installation process already detected the old raid device (of the old installation) and brings it up, thus it bugs me that it can't create a new one (with same name).

A manual workaround for me is to switch to the second console (ALT+F2) and do the following 1) erase partition table manually (since putting it in a pre-installation-script doesn't helped either). $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/sda $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/sdb

2) reboot & restart autoyast installation

Mit freundlichen Grüssen/best regards
