Looking back at your old mail, you used the format: part /boot --size 16 --onpart hda1 part swap --size 512 --onpart hda2 part /usr --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000 --onpart hda5 part /usr/local --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000 --onpart hda6 If the partitions are pre-existing, don't put --size, --grow, or --maxsize. Also, don't use clearpart. You should be able to do: part /boot --onpart hda1 part swap --onpart hda2 part /usr --onpart hda5 part /usr/local --onpart hda6 etc. I know that several people have used the %pre section to partition their disk before the installation starts, and then use --onpart to put the partitions in place, so I think that the above will work.
