Sound level always 0
by Nigel Horne 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

What ever I try I can't get the sound level to be anything other than 0, and people have to run 'yast2 sound' to manually configure after installation. What's wrong? <sound> <autoinstall config:type="boolean">true</autoinstall> <modules_conf config:type="list"> <module_conf> <alias>snd-card-0</alias> <module>snd-intel8x0</module> <model>VT32C686</model> <options> <snd_ac97_clock>0</snd_ac97_clock> <snd_enable>1</snd_enable> <snd_index>0</snd_index> </options> <unique_key>uniq.virtual</unique_key> </module_conf> </modules_conf> <rc_vars/> <volume_settings config:type="list"> <volume_entry> <Master config:type="integer">75</Master> </volume_entry> </volume_settings> </sound> -Nigel -- Nigel Horne.

Cannot set base selection
by J. David Eisenberg 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

I was able to get the autoinstall past the "28% hangup" by switching my AutoYast: specification in the info file to floppy:///autoinst.xml I now get to the screen "Preparing system for automated installation"and the arrow points to "Configure software selections." A dialog appears, telling me that it could not set base selection "Minimal." My autoinst.xml file contains the line <base>Minimal</base> Is this because it is looking for the suse/setup/descr/selections file on the floppy? The documentation doesn't say. As with the invalid XML problem from yesterday, it will be nice to know of a workaround. But that's not the point. If I'm using YaST2's autoinstall to create the autoinst.xml file, it should *always* create a valid file. If I select "minimal" configuration from the GUI, then the autoinstall process should be able to recognize it. Otherwise, what use is the GUI? -- J. David Eisenberg http://catcode.com/

Autoyast & classes
by "Müller, Folkhard" 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Dear everybody, I am using: (SuSE 9.1): autoyast2-installation-2.9.34-1 autoyast2-2.9.34-1 autoyast2-utils-2.9.34-1 I try to use seperate config.files to compose configurations for autoyast I set up as explained in another mail here: /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/ /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/rules /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/AC127F57 /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/hatti.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/AllHosts /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/AllHosts/Allhosts.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/Familie /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/Familie/X11Config.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/Familie/partion.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/Familie/3c59c.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/BaseSoftware /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/BaseSoftware/BaseSoftware.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/templates AC127F57, the configuration I use looks this way: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <install> <classes config:type="list"> <class> <class_name>AllHosts</class_name> <configuration>AllHosts.xml</configuration> </class> <class> <class_name>BaseSoftware</class_name> <configuration>BaseSoftware.xml</configuration> </class> <class> <class_name>Familie</class_name> <configuration>X11Config.xml</configuration> </class> <class> <class_name>Familie</class_name> <configuration>3c59c.xml</configuration> </class> <class> <class_name>Familie</class_name> <configuration>partion.xml</configuration> </class> </classes> </install> </profile> All * .xml have been created with the yast2 autoinstall feature. (partion.xml by hand (uses the fstab partition option, not available in yast2 autoinstall)) ->If I use AC127F57 to autoinstall, the system is installed as described in BaseSoftware.xml, X11Config.xml, 3c59c.xml and partition.xml BUT Allhosts.xml seems to be ignored and named is unexpectedly configured, though I didnt configure it in any file. ->If I use the yast2 autoinstall "classe merge feature" merging offline AllHosts.xml, BaseSoftware.xml, X11Config.xml, 3c59c.xml and partition.xml the resulting Installation file works as expected also all of Allhosts.xml, however, named ist configured and started see above. ->Is there a chance to "see" the result of the online merge process of autoinstall ? ->Why does autoinstall try to start named, ??? ->yast2 talks about priorities of classes, however, there is no priority to be seen either in documentation nor in the syntax of AC127F57. Whatsoever all my *.xml are non redundant, that means things are configured only once. So priorities or the sequence how the files are merged should'nt make any difference. (For mathmaticians: the Intersection of all files is empty). -- Dipl. Phys. F.Mueller EPCOS AG Surface Acoustic Wave Components Division SAW RD CAD P.O.

Autoinstall from HDisk
by Werner Hack 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Hi, I try to install a PC from local HDisk using a selfmade BootCD. These are my parameters for autoyast : autoyast=device://hda9/install/autoyast/profiles/pc.xml serverdir=/install/autoyast/SuSE/ partition=hda9 I copied the SuSE DVD Distribution to 'serverdir'. Booting from CD is working fine, the autoyast-file is read. But then I get an error message : > Could not set base selection: default > Error while configuring software selections Any idea why this happens ? Thanks in advance. Regards, Werner Hack --
