hi I'm attempting a SLES10 autoyast installation on a disk with pre-configured partitions and getting the following error: Error while configuring partitions. Try again! in the preparing system for Automated installation screen. I came across this thread [http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-autoinstall/2005-12/msg00040.html] , but the workarounds suggested (usepart config:type "integer", etc) in it did not work. I am using SLES10 while the other mail thread mentioned SuSE10. Was it a bug in SLES10 that got fixed later - say SLES10.1? Please let me know, I can provide more details if required. Thanks.
