Haven't seen a single mail from you on this list since Dec 6th, and no reactions to the last bug reports at all... Very unsual. Are you gone for a long vacation to Hawaii or sth? ;-) -- Dipl.-Inform.

I just wonder why the sed script is working when I run it manually on commandline after installation,but not while run from autoyast. kind regards Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] problems with sed in a custom script
by Sebastian Reitenbach 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hi all, I have a slight problem with autoyast on SLES 10. I want to add a line in the middle of a file with sed. I have the following statement in one of my sed -e "/^RUNDIR=\/var\/run/ s/RUNDIR=\/var\/run/RUNDIR=\/var\/run\nexport VARIABLE=test/g" file1 > file1.new when I run my script manually after the installation, it works as expected, I have the lines RUNDIR=/var/run exprot VARIABLE=test but when the script is called while autoyast is running, the file1.new ends up with following contents: RUNDIR=/var/run\nexprot VARIABLE=test any hint on what am I doing wrong and what I can do to fix it? kind regards Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Prevent ahci module loading
by jaiber john 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hi Is there a way to prevent the ahci.ko module from loading in the SLES10 installer's initrd? In our application, we support automatic install through autoyast and we customize the initrd to add some new drivers for the specific hardware. One of the drivers (a RAID driver) has to load before the ahci.ko because the only the one loaded first acquires the device and we want the RAID driver loaded first. Are there any kernel cmdline parameters or other tricks other than removing ahci module?

[opensuse-autoinstall] partitioning problem 10.2 and autoinstall
by fschuett 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Hallo, what am I doing wrong here? I have a setup with three linux partitions, that should be reused (formatted but not created) on installation. I need to keep AutoYaST from creating his own partitions since I use reborn network cards that do the partitioning themselves, which is a common setup in a school like ours. I followed the documentation and created this partitioning section: -------------------------------------------------------- <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <mount>/boot</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <mount>/</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <mount>swap</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr> </partition> </partitions> </drive> </partitioning> ------------------------------------------------------- With this setup, AutoYaST reuses hda1 as boot as expected but creates a new partition hda4 as root. The partition table ist: ------------------------------------------------------ /dev/hda1 * 1 13 184391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 2883 5432 83 Linux /dev/hda3 5433 5560 83 Linux /dev/hda4 14 2882 83 Linux (this one is created by AutoYaST). ------------------------------------------------------ "fdisk" tells me that the partitions are not in disk order. Has anyone an idea about this? I used this setup for a while already and experimented a lot with different "partitioning" sections but I can't keep AutoYaST from creating his own partition. Any help appreciated.

[opensuse-autoinstall] VNC password setting for autoyast
by Ian Grant 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Dear List, Having recently resurrected my info file using the kernel parameter info=file:///info I get prompted (by linuxrc?) to enter a VNC password. The info file on the initrd has this: install: ... autoyast: ... loghost: .... vnc: 1 vncpassword: thepassword And in addition the kernel command line includes: append initrd=initrd splash=silent showopts install=... autoyast= ... vnc=1 vncpassword=thepassword info=file:///info (without the line-breaks of course.) Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org
