A very basic partitioning problem

Hello,

I habe a suse10.1 system and I am trying to do an autoinstall on it. This 
works if there are no linux partitions on it but it fails when I do the auto 
install the second time, so there are already linux partitions (boot, 
swap, /) in place. 

In the autoyast file I said:

  <partitioning config:type="list">
    <drive>
      <device>/dev/hda</device>
      <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize>
     <use>linux</use>
      <partitions config:type="list">
        <partition>
          <crypt>twofish256</crypt>
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem>
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>
          <mount>/boot</mount>
          <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
          <size>64M</size>
        </partition>
...
      </partitions>
    </drive>
  </partitioning>

As far as I understood the documentation <use>linux</use> should delete all 
linux specific partitions or reuse them.  

What I get is during "Create parrtition plans" an error box simply saying 
"Error while configuring partitions. Try again". However this does not tell 
me what autoyast thinks is wrong. I looked in /var/adm/autoinstall/logs/ but 
this directory is still empty. 

Does anyone know how to get more information what went wrong or why autoyast 
fails  to drop the existing linux partitions and create new ones?

Thanks
Rainer
