You can also just use the --explicit-geometry option to prepareclient. "man prepareclient" for details.
Thus spake Carl J. Benson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Once again, Google is my friend. The solution is to edit
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Common.pm
on the client system, around line 426, "my $cmd". Change the sfdisk option "-uM" to "-uS" and save the file.
prepareclient then adapts to using sectors instead of "mebibytes". I had no idea, but further Googling reveals that mebibytes is a legitimate unit for measuring memory.
Why SuSE defaults to mebibytes instead of megabytes, I don't know.
The empty 4th partition was apparently irrelevant.

I noticed a difference in a heading, "MiB" on SuSE9.0, "MB" on RH9. Also "mebibytes" -- what the heck? Could this version of sfdisk be corrupt?
That 4th partition puzzles me; it seems to be an artifact of the installation program. I used fdisk, removed it, and rebooted, but it's still there. Wierd.
