This is exactly my issue here.
I have a server with only 1 Disk shown to the OS. This is what I want/need for
my environment. I will partition that disk to include a 100M /boot, a
5GB /root, etc, etc and a huge LVM data partition.
I can not do this with SLES !!
I see this as a major bug. Novell doesn't seem to think so.
I can hack it up to work, but as you say, this is not a supported environment,
and is very likely to break.
So right now I am stuck, I have a perfectly useless server.
