Description Olaf Hering 2006-10-26 19:36:15 UTC 
hda contained a sles10 whole disk installation.
After trying a lvm based installation with 10.2b1:

inst-sys:~ # fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1               1           1        8001   41  PPC PReP Boot
/dev/hda2               4          91      706860   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda3              92        7296    57874162+  41  PPC PReP Boot
/dev/hda4               2           3       16065   8e  Linux LVM

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Disk /dev/dm-0: 26.8 GB, 26843545600 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3263 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table

Disk /dev/dm-1: 21.4 GB, 21474836480 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
inst-sys:~ # blkid 
/dev/hda2: TYPE="swap" 
/dev/dm-0: UUID="5fce2ab7-d1f9-4ef6-83b5-bed54928fb89" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" 
/dev/dm-1: UUID="d904d1cc-141c-4e71-8c3c-5d9ae51ecdcb" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" 


0x41 is added twice, the lvm partition is too small.

Comment 2 Thomas Fehr 2006-10-30 17:04:57 UTC 
/dev/hda1 cannot be reused since it has only 288 blocks in size. 
Minimal size for prep boot is 5MB. 

The other problems should be duplicates of #216222.
Please retest with beta1plus and reopen if appropriate.
