First off let me say the 3.6.2-1 rpms work beautifully on SLES9 x86-64.
I only encountered this one problem. Great Work!
Creation of LVM volume groups fail during autinstall because
device mapper cannot create /dev/mapper/<vg_name> files - they
already exist in initrd.
When si_prepareclient compiles files for the UYOK initrd.img, it
copies all of dev, including files previously created by LVM device mapper
(e.g. /dev/system). Trouble is when autoinstall scripts attempt to
create the 'system' volume group, it fails because the /dev/system
directory already exists.
I added a piece of code to UseYourOwnKernel.pm which strips these out:

Did you try poking at it with a stick?
