I notice the sizes in the saved xml file are exact sizes.. are you using
exactly the same size disk in the new machine? or a larger one?
You might want to go back and edit the sizes to make them more human
readable, and replace them with values like 200G. And whichever
partition you want to just use all the leftover space, make that size
max.
Also, is it set to initialize the disk?
Here's a sample of a map I use in installs that works great:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Note this has a whole profile wrapper because it's assembled by autoyast
in the initial stages because we use the rules.xml autoyast feature.
Also, I don't specify a device because this profile is used for all our
single disk systems, and autoyast auto-detects the disk. I also set the
lvm and evms stuff to false because I was getting errors with
sles/sled10+ initially if they weren't set to false, and we don't use
those features anyway.
Also note, this profile is from our new desktop image, which uses most
disk for swap, because we don't want users putting data on desktops,
it's supposed to be on our filers.. but you still get the idea of sizing
and max.
