Semi automatic autoyast disk partitioning fails

This document (7023862) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 Service Pack 4 (SLES 12 SP4)
AutoYaST

Situation

When installing SLES12 SP4 using an AutoYaST control file with semi-automatic partitioning option, the dialog allows you to edit the partition settings, but when you click OK, the error "Error while configuring partitions. Try again" appears. The AutoYaST installation fails at that point.

The AutoYaST control file contains the following:

<general>
  <semi-automatic config:type="list">
    <semi-automatic_entry>partitioning</semi-automatic_entry>
  </semi-automatic>
</general>

Resolution

A driver update disk (DUD) file is available to resolve the issue. Please contact support for the DUD.
