The problem is, that in the first part of the AutoYast installation (when the RPMs are installed) the new machine knows its IP adress but not the Computer Name. Only after the reboot when the second part of the installtion starts, the hostname is set correctly.
Steffen, I think this is an issue since ages isn't it?
I have identified 3 RPMs so far which need the hostname in the first part of the installation (aaa_base, postfix and a custom made one).
that can't be true. I do pxe/DHCP installations all the time and aaa_base never had any problems during the installation.
For testing, I addded the hostname to
<hostname>testhost</hostname>
and set
true to false, and then the hostname was "ok" also in the first step of the installation, and all RPMs are installed as expected.
that's hard to believe actually. The <networking> section is not evaluated by autoyast in the first stage. Whatever you do there, it can't have any influence in stage 1. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: Purity by Dismantled -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
