Description Olaf Hering 2007-05-13 12:24:46 UTC

current factory.
pepper.suse.de has 4 scsi drives, all were wiped with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX before this install attempt.

yast attempts to create a few logical partitions, but parted does not created them, it returns 1 without error message.

doing the parted call manually does not help either.

pepper is still in the inst-sys, root password is root

parted wants now mkpart linux-swap(new) or mkpart linux-swap(old)
I restored old mkpart linux-swap syntax.
