Frank,
You are right, xCAT inserts <partitioning...>...<\partitioning...>
Around the AutoYastSnippet specified by the partitionfile attribute.
I will update the docs to state that AutoYastSnippet should not include
those tags.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] sles15.2 partitionfile
Hi all,
Sorry if is a known/solved issue and question. I’m using Version 2.16.2.
For for SLES15.2 installation I found that the disk partioning
doesn’t work out of the box. See my workaround below.
Maybe I missed something, but is there a ‘interface’ or script
available (beside vi) to alter the autoyast template file for any
sles distro version in a controlled way aka with XML syntax checking?
Or do I have to make all changes and tracking to the autoyast
templates on my own?
Many thanks in for any comments on my second question.
Cheers,
-Frank
Workaround for Partition in sles15.2 template.
Using the command sequence (as described in the readthedocs):
chdef -t osimage -o <imageName> partitionfile=<pathToAutoYastSnippet>
with the following partitionfile:
<partitioning config:type="list">
? <drive>
??? <device>/dev/sda</device>
??? . . .
??? . . .
</partitioning>
Leads to an entry in the automatically generated autoyast file
in /install/autoinst
. . .
??? <partitioning config:type="list">
????? <partitioning config:type="list">
? <drive>
??? <device>/dev/sda</device>
. . .
. . .
</partitioning>
??? </partitioning>
This leads to a key error (duplicate <partitioning> - tag) during the
startup of the installer script:

Workaround is to remove the <partitioning> tags in the autoyast template
file for sles15.2 or skip the tags inside the partition file.[attachment
