YaST doesn't do ppc partitioning yet. You have to do that manually before installing. YaST may be used to format the Linux partitions (swap, /, /home, etc) but _NOT_ the Apple HFS types. See http://www.opensuse.org/PPC_Installation_Issues and http://www.opensuse.org/PPC:Boot_prep and http://www.opensuse.org/PPC_Partitioning for more information.
Thanks for clarification. I'm re-using existing partitions and yast now happily installs many a lot packages.
Do we already have proper bugzilla entries for this issue? I'll add some additional notes to http://www.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs
Don't know about bugzilla for this since it is common knowledge. I saw somewhere that SUSE is waiting on grub2 for support of HFS partitions and then YaST and parted will be more like the x86 versions. I'm new to PPC and still learning all the issues myself. This is one of the biggest hurdles to getting a PPC system up and running on SUSE 10.x. Please don't cc me on emails since I get them through the list anyway, thanks. Stan
