The example below (and our more complex standard setup too) worked.
Thanks!

Essentially there are two points to take care of:
1. Include the "<partition_type>" tag
2. Make sure to list all primary partitions first

Some side notes:

The use of the "<partition_type>" tag, while used in some examples (if you know what \
you are looking for...), is not explicitely mentioned in the autoyast document. Where \
can I get an uptodate DTD?

It seems that the priority of the "<partition_nr>" is less then the prio of the \
"<partition_type>" tag. This behaviour has definitely changed from SLES9 to SLES10 \
and I can't find any reference on this change. May I urge you to document either the \
current behaviour or to document changes. It is not always the preferred way to first \
get a system running configured as you want and then to create an autoinst.xml from \
that machine.

best regards
Holger Reif
