Hello, I'm trying to modify openSuse 11.1 installation to open my autoyast configuration instead of the normal installation. Is it possible? Where should i find more information? Thanks. -- Leonardo Luiz Padovani da Mata barroca(a)gmail.com "May the force be with you, always" "Nerd Pride... eu tenho.

[opensuse-autoinstall] prevent partition activation with grub/SLES 11
by Frank Steiner 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi, after lilo has so many bugs in SLES 11, I tried with grub and just ran into the first problem: I've Windows partitions on my hosts and I install grub in the mbr, so I don't need to activate any partition for grub and want the Windows partition to stay activated. I tried all kind of variants in my profile: <bootloader> <global config:type="list"> <global_entry> <key>activate</key> <value config:type="boolean">false</value> </global_entry> </global> ... <activate config:type="boolean">false</activate> ... <activate>false<activate> ... </bootloader> None of them works. Grub still activates my extended partition sda4 (as /boot is in /dev/sda7) and menu.lst contains ##YaST - activate Looks like AY doesn't handle the activation-instruction. Am I doing sth. wrong? Is it a bug of AY or YaST? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

[opensuse-autoinstall] bootloader values with $
by Frank Steiner 08 May '09

Hi, I'm trying to pass an md5-crypted passwd to grub via <global_entry> <key>password</key> <value>--md5 $1$PvC31/$.jvVgGSAyH2sfrvCa7oy40</value> </global_entry> The generated menu.lst contains password --md5 /$.jvVgGSAyH2sfrvCa7oy40 So I guess that AY somwhere considers $1 and/or $PvC31 like bash variables. Is there a way to protect the string inside the <value> tags so that it is transferred as is? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
