[opensuse] parameter hostip on boot prompt does not work?
Hello, I try to install a system (on vmware) with autoyast. In the network, where the system is located is no dhcp server. So I added: hostip=10.1.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 autoyast=http://10.1.1.100/autoyast.xml to the boot prompt. The system was booting and started the yast in "autoyast mode", but got no ip address. I tried to ping from the other server, no response. So I canceled the installation and started a bash from the text menu and configured the ip via ifconfig. After this, I run the installation again. Now the autoyast.xml was loaded from the webserver and the installation finished. Why does the booting client in the vmware not take the ip from the parameter hostip?

I could be wrong, but I think the parameter is just 'ip'. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hello, I tried this, but it didn't help. I think hostip is the right parameter: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Linuxrc Hmm... Meike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hmm...
Do you have any console output from around the time when the interface is being brought up? I guess on vmware you will also need the right bridging or NAT'ing setup. /Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, but is does not running in the initscripts. I see during booting from DVD the hardware scan and it finds the right nic (e1000) and load it successfully. Then the installation system is loaded in six parts (1/6 to 6/6). after this hald, syslogd, klaogd and than yast is starting. Yast makes an inventory/system check and then it tries the get the autoyast xml. That will fail.
