I tried to format the root partition using ext3 but it said that there was an error - did I want to continue anyway. I went to a console and used mkfs.ext3 on the partition then went back and said yes - all worked fine.
Regarding XFS - this is a known bug now:

I have reported these problems to SuSE but got no response. I haven't had time to submit a bug report yet (will do as soon as I get chance) but SuSE "assure" me that I won't get any response when I do submit a bug report - hence my message to suse-line-e - they basically said that SuSE Pro was a home user product and as long as dial-up works they are not interested in supporting any other type of networking.
Coming from distros with a really open development process I'm a bit
puzzled by the SuSE way...
So my **worthless** 2 pence are:
- Novell releases YAST under the GPL --- check
- Novell releases Ximian Connector under the GPL --- check
- Novell opens up SuSE bugzilla, invites community to beta test
future releases (ala Mandrake/Fedora) and sets up a development
web site & wiki WOULD BE really nice :)
(in time for 9.2 would be cool)
