YaST2: Problem defining a new Inst. source
by MANU 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Hello: I'm trying to create an installation source from YaST2 (Control Center -> Software -> Change Instalation Source) I fill in the window: Protocol: FTP Server Name: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse (I've also tried with ftp.suse.com alone to no avail) Server Directory: i386/9.0/suse/src/ Authentication: Anonimous (I've also tried without it) I accept and after a while (adding installation source...) a meessage emerges: "Couldn't create an installation source from the URL 'ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/ suse/i386/9.0/suse/src' Details: ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) Try again?" I've checked that the server is in "/var/lib/YaST2/you/youservers". Where should I look into? Thanks in advance.

sles8sp2 ftp/smb installation

Hi list, hi Anas! I set up an installation server with sles8sp2. Installing via nfs succeeds: Both - the root-cramfs-file and the installation source - are recieved and used by the client. But installing from the same source via smb://server/sles8sp2 or via ftp://server/sles8sp2 is different: The root-file works without problems, but I get the following error about the software selection: "Fehler bei der Konfiguration der Software-Auswahl. Bitte erneut versuchen." In the log-files I see that YaST2 tries to find my software selection ("default") but cannot find it. My pxelinux.cfg file looks like this: DEFAULT Installation_SUSE_SLES8sp2 LABEL Installation_SUSE_SLES8sp2 KERNEL linux.sles8sp2 APPEND initrd=initrd.sles8sp2 ramdisk_size=65536 autoyast=http://x.x.x.x/yast2/ install=ftp://x.x.x.x/sles8sp2 instmode=ftp username=anonymous password=egal I modified the tags <init> and <info_file> in the xml-file according to the pxe-config. Please give me any hints/suggestions! Thanks a lot, Martin
