Yast recognized my hardrive, I could select my partition and format it, but it failed to install when installation process began.
I have this error message :
code erreur -1012 définition du type de partition /dev/sda13 sur 102
error code -102 definition of the partition type /dev/sda13 on 102
Do no let yast touch your partition table, it will always fail with partition types other thant 'msdos'. Instead, partition before you start the installation, and assign only mount points in the partitioner. In case of installation onto a firewire drive, add 'ohci1394 sbp2' to INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel, and rerun mkinitrd.
