Here is a series of posts that sound like a similar problem. I put my 2 
cents in at the bottom. :-)

So far I have not found out what Suse uses to partition during the 
install.  Note that this fellow resized in advance, but made only one 
partition.  I'm sure that the installer divided that partition up into 
at least a swap and root partition.  If it did it with parted, then the 
problem could happen.
