Problem while installing Autoinstall SLES 10 SP4

Hello,

We are facing a problem while installing SLES 10 SP4 using autoyast. The stage where it decides for getting the relevant xml profile based
on the harddisk device type and size , it is getting failed. It seems it is not able to fetch the 2 values (disk size) and (device type).
The confusing part here is , sometimes it gets these values and the installation gets completed as well. But sometimes it doesnt.

The Autoyast rpm is : autoyast2-installation-2.13.108-0.7.13.noarch.rpm

The relevant failure logs from /var/log/YaST2/y2log are :

It seems that its not able to pass the value of var1 and var2 in the below mentioned line of /usr/share/YaST2/modules/AutoInstallRules.ycp script.

    string var1 = sformat("disksize_size%1", i );
        string var2 = sformat("disksize_device%1", i );


        t = t + sformat(" [ \"$%1\" -gt \"%2\"  -a \"$%3\" = \"%4\" ] ", var1, disk[1]:"" , var2, disk[0]:""); 

We can provide you the complete log file if needed.
