Hello,
I'm trying to install 10.0 on my iMac but the install fails when it tries to format my partitions - it says it can't change the type. I partitioned using pdisk under OSX, and I've tried marking the partitions as "Linux" and "Linux swap" but to no avail (not using the hex numbers, just the descriptions) . The install fails when it tries to format the swap partition.
pdisk from the suse disks wouldn't let me change the type, and pdisk on the mac wouldn't let me write the partition table!
Please have a look at http://www.opensuse.org/POWER@SUSE YaST currently doesnt know about anything but msdos partitions. You have to partition in MacOS or via cmdline with pdisk. Then assign mount points and format the partions in YaST. -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
