Hi,
I finally figured out where Cobbler picked up the value from. In my
/var/lib/tftpboot/uefi/elilo.conf, I have the following:
prompt
timeout=100
default=linux
image=linux
label=linux
description = "Installation"
initrd=initrd
append="/images/slestest/initrd textmode=1 install=
I tried to remove the autoyast part where it points to the old autoyast
file, but then Cobbler won't start the installation automatically. It seems
like the profile that I added into Cobbler using "cobbler profile add" is
pretty much pointless. How do I fix this?
Thanks.

@Alan, Yes you're absolutely right. My mistake to refer it as a
kickstart.
I have always assumed 'kickstart' as a generic term for all auto
installation files, like autoyast. Learned my lesson when I first played
with spacewalk and I was wondering why the kickstart file option was greyed
out for SuSe distro :P. Thanks.
@Drew, Originally the value for /opt is 30GB. I modified it to 36GB, to
see if it changes. No go. The setup is 2 drives, each with the size of
300GB, configured as RAID1 (hardware RAID). Now come to think about it, not
long ago I added a post-script in the autoyast file, but it never got
executed. The changes must have not been picked up at all. So I guess it's
not just a partition problem. Any changes just won't take effect. I'll do
more testing when I have the chance. Thanks.
