One of out most important piece of software are having problems with the newest kernel from Novell, kernel-default-2.6.32.46, and fails to start. With the previous version of the kernel, kernel-default-2.6.32.45 everything works as expected.
if that's not a problem in your software but in the kernel update, please create a bugreport for that.
Since we can not halt installation of new servers until the software is fixed, we need to automatically choose kernel-default-2.6.32.45 during installation. I have looked through the autoyast documentation and I can see that I'm able to select a kernel using
I'm afraid that's not possible. You can tell zypper to install a specific version by doing "zypper in kernel-default-2.6.32.45" but autoyast itself is not able to deal with version numbers in the <package> description. Maybe you can try to install the other kernel somehow with a chroot-script but that's the only (quite ugly) solution that comes to my mind. I'm not sure if a file like: cat /etc/zypp/locks type: package match_type: glob case_sensitive: on solvable_name: kernel-default-2.6.32.46 would work in the inst-sys Worth a try maybe. There is no officially supported way in autoyast to achieve what you need. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net listening to: "Der Galaktische Zoo" by Stillste Stund -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org
