can you please try:

 <partitioning config:type="list">
     <drive>
       <use>all</use>
       <zero_new_partitions config:type="boolean">false</zero_new_partitions>
     </drive>
  </partitioning>

it's an undocumented fallback which actually should never be used but in this 
case it might help :-/
If it does not help, we need logs and a bugzilla entry please.

do you use post-scripts with network_needed set to true? Then it's a bug which 
is fixed in SP1.
Try to use a post-script with network_needed set to false or an init-script. 
Everything else than a post-script with network_needed=true is fine.

init-scripts and post-scripts (except for the case mentioned above) are 
working fine in SLES11. There must be something wrong in your config but 
that's hard to say without XML or/and logs.
