@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.

Is the /opt volume getting created as 36GB or is it also getting 18
?
Does changing the size value on that one work ? How big is the drive
overall ?

It is a reinstall over an existing system, though I'm pretty sure I did
try on a new system as well. The 'clearpart -all' is how you clear
partitions with CentOS kickstart? In my SuSE autoyast kickstart file I have
this:
<initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
## If set to "true", the partition table gets wiped out before AutoYaST
starts the partition calculation.
During the installation I can see that all of the partitions got wiped
out, but during the creation, the old values took place.

Cobbler.
I am using Cobbler to install SLES 11 SP2 and it has been running fine all
the while. Recently I modified the kickstart file by changing the size of
the root partition from 18GB to 36GB. To my surprise the modification did
not take place - Cobbler created a root partition with the size of 18GB. I
tried removing the profile, renaming it, but no success.
I am completely stump as to where Cobbler is getting the value 18GB from.
Is there some kind of cache that is keeping the old kickstart file
somewhere and I need to clear that up first?
The part where I did the modification:
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">true</create>
<crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<fstopt>acl,user_xattr</fstopt>
<loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>
<lv_name>lvroot</lv_name>
<mount>/</mount>
<mountby config:type="symbol">device</mountby>
<partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
<raid_options/>
<resize config:type="boolean">false</resize>
<size>36GB</size>
</partition>
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
