Hi Anas,
I'm using autoyast2 with SuSE 9.0. Here are some bugs that I found:
- According to the dtds I cannot use classes anywhere. And indeed,
wherever I tried to include classes, the xml validation failed,
even when validating a profile generated with yast2.
- When you specify lilo as boot loader but lilo is not in the
software selection, no warning is issued, but the installation
will hang after installing the packages with "creating initrd..."
when configuring the bootloader.
- The boot-loader device is ignored. On a host with /dev/hda and
/dev/sda (via gdth module), I specified a partition table for
/dev/sda and also
<bootloader>
/dev/sda
lilo
<location>mbr</location>
</bootloader>
Although the loader_device line made it into the final xml
file (checked during and after install), the installation
ends up with
boot=/dev/hda
in /etc/lilo.conf which prevented the system from booting.
You can get the log file from the installation here:

Some errors in the online documentation for 9.0:
- Section 4.2 Reporting:
- order should be errors/messages/warnings to match dtd
- order within these should be log/show/timeout
At least my sgml validator tells me. I don't know if there is some
relaxed xml which allows arbitrary ordering of elements on the same
level.
- 4.1: mouse specifies wrong id and an element device. Due to dtd,
should only be id.
- 4.3:
- kernel_parameters is not defined as part of bootloader element in dtd
- order should be: device, type, location
- initrd_modules uses module_entry instead of initrd_module,
module_args is not opened
- 4.5.2:
When adding your own packet selection, one needs to add the name
in the suse/setup/descr/selections file, not just copy the
selection there. At least that was necessary for me, otherwise
autoyast would complain that it could not read from my selection...
Hope this helps :-)
Best regards,
Frank
