The solution from autoyast make sense for me because afaik the partition order is first the primary and then the extended partition. Also is might be not a good idea to define a patition in the middle of your configyration file with the MAX option. So think about your requriement and do not try to get a extended partition in the middle of primary partitions. BTW: In our environment we do not use primary partitions. hth Hajo

I have problems with partitioning and autoinstall on SuSE 9.3.
What I want to do on my 120gb SATA disk:
sda1 => primary, 8gb, ext3, /
sda2 => extended, 8gb
sda3 => primary, ext3, 48gb, /home
sda4 => primary, ext3, rest (=max), /daten2
sda5 => logical, 4gb, swap
sda6 => logical, 2gb, /var, ext3
sda7 => logical, 2gb, /tmp, ext3
What I get is:
sda1 => primary, 8gb, ext3, /
sda2 => primary, 8gb, unformatted
sda3 => primary, ext3, 48gb, /home
sda4 => extended, 8gb
sda5 => logical, ext3, 40gb, /daten2
sda6 => logical, 4gb, swap
sda7 => logical, 2gb, /var, ext3
sda8 => logical, 2gb, /tmp, ext3
My autoinst.xml-partitons section lokks like this:
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
<device>/dev/sda</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/</mount>
