Hi, I made that script based in a script posted in the list. But it's different from the original. Some bug fixes. enjoy: ######################## <pre-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <filename>/vgremove.sh</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source> <![CDATA[ #!/bin/sh vgs=`find /dev -name vg*` insmod lvm-mod vgscan for vg in $vgs do if [ -d $vg ] ; then vgchange -a y $vg lvs=`ls $vg` for lv in $lvs do if [ $lv != "group" ]; then lvremove -f $vg/$lv fi done vgchange -a n $vg vgremove $vg fi done mkswap /dev/cciss/c0d0 exit 0 ]]> </source> </script> </pre-scripts> ##################### __________________________________________________________________________ Acabe com aquelas janelinhas que pulam na sua tela.

Server OS and repository versions must match?
by Fermín Galán 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

Hello, I have been using (since a couple of month ago and without significant problems) a server repository to network-install clients. The server ran SuSe 8.1 and had a SuSE 8.1 repository. The problems arise when changing server OS to SuSE 8.2, but without changing the repository (SuSE 8.1). Now, when I try to network-install a SuSE 8.1 client system, I get a error message telling me about problems with 'so' (dynamic libraries) files. The things seems starting to fail after "integrating the shared objects of the installation system...". The next message in the console log is "ld cannot mmap /usr/lib/lib.opt.so.0", followed by several similar message about other so libraries and a halt. Is not possible to have a SuSE 8.2 to serve a SuSE 8.1 repostory? Must match OS and repository version in the server? Any idea or suggestion? Thanks in advance! --------- Fermín

by Egan Ford 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

I have observed the following install order with sles8 and suse81: run pre script install packages run chroot script reboot run post script With suse82: run pre script install SOME packages run chroot script reboot install rest of packages run post script Is there a script I can insert between the reboot and the "install rest of packages" with suse82?

How do I determine legal names to use for base, add-on, and package from the contents of the CD? Also is there a way to specify everything?

partition woes
by Dan Transue 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

Greetings, I'm having a problem with autoinstall and partition sizing. I have it doing everything correctly (as far as I can tell so far) but no matter what I put for partition size, I keep getting an error popup telling me that "The selected partitions are not big enough to contain a minimal installation". Here is what I have: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <size>max</size> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <size>auto</size> </partition> </drive> </partitioning> I have set the max size to 20gb (and other numbers too) to no avail. Can someone point me in the right direction? There is just under 30 gb of unpartitioned space on a 40 GB drive. Win2k is on the first 8 gb. Thanks in advance. -dan

by Michael Schulz 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

Hello, I createt the the direcotry /home/suse in this dir I created an i586,i686 and an noarch folder. In this folders I copied the content of the folders i586,i686 and noarch from the CD1, CD2 and CD3. After this I did this: linux:/ # cd /home/suse linux:/home/suse # create_package_descr -d /home/suse using settings: datadirs: /home/suse languages: english output dir: ./setup/descr/ creating output directory ./setup/descr/ extra_provides: /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV .............................................................................................................................................. done processed 1423 packages now recoding to UTF-8: packages packages.DU packages.en linux:/home/suse # Then I added the dir /home/suse to the YAST2 Installation Source. There are now only this source. When I now want to sellect any packets from my autoyast PACKAGESELECTION I didn't see anything. Can anybody say me why I can't select the Packages.

Installation repositiry from CD images
by Harald.Milz＠computacenter.com 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

Hi, I am trying to set up an installation server from the respective CD images. I would like to just keep the images on the machine and mount them loop,ro, like /pub/SLD /pub/SLD/CD1 /pub/SLD/CD2 /pub/SLD/CD3 /pub/SLD/CD4 /pub/SLD/CD5 /pub/SLD/ISO /pub/SLES8-AMD64 /pub/SLES8-AMD64/ISO /pub/SLES8-AMD64/SLES8-CD1 /pub/SLES8-AMD64/SLES8-CD2 /pub/SLES8-AMD64/SLES8-CD3 /pub/SLES8-AMD64/SLES8-CD4 etc.... The ISO directories keep the images, the CD1,2,3.. directories are the mountpoints. I can't find any way to actually treat this structure as installation repositories. Has anybody had the same problem and can provide a nice solution? I would guess order / instorder is a solution but SLD and SuSE-8.2 don't have the yast directory. Seems I don't get it.
