I try to install openSUSE 10.2 on a hp dl 385. unfortunately the parted tool in the 10.2 is unable to partition the disk on the cciss controller.

why? Does it work in a manual installation?

no, it is this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228707 (just found it, maybe I work around it, as there suggested replacing the /usr/lib64/liby2storage.so.2.0.0)

I can partition it before I start autoyast, but I am wondering how to tell the autoyast process to just only using the partitions as they are, format them and setup the mount points in fstab accordingly.

set <create ...>false</create> <format ...>true</format> and set the correct <partition_nr ...>

thanks a lot, this is what I needed, and sounds way easier, than replacing some files ....

kind regards Sebastian
