I'm trying to get autoyast working with OpenSUSE-12.3. The actual OS installation seems to work fine, but after the reboot (when it does a bunch of post-install stuff), its consistently hanging at: Preparing System for Automatic Instlallation Install required packages Checking for packages required for runlevel ---> 33%
Or more accurately, it just stalls. The system isn't hung, I can switch between virtual consoles, but the actual installation never progresses at all. Load is 0.00.
I started poking around in the newest log in /var/log/Yast2, and I see the following at the bottom of y2log:
It seems like maybe its unhappy about something related to the runlevel? My autoyast.xml has the following: ######### <configure> <runlevel> <default>3</default> </runlevel> #########
Is this no longer supported? The last version of the documentation seems to suggest that its still valid: http://users.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_doc/configuration.html#CreateProfile.Serv...
This looks like you hit bug 801878 of bugzilla.novell.com. One of a lot of fallout caused by systemd integration. Unfortiunatley it is not fixed in time for 12.3 release.
As a side note, is autoyast still being actively maintained? All of the links on Uwe's website ( http://users.suse.com/~ug/ ) don't have any references to 12.3, and the OpenSUSE Yast Autoinstall wiki page is now gone ( http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Autoinstallation ).
After the sad loss pf Uwe Gansert I took over temporary maintaienrship of Autoyast last summer. As such events cause always a major disruption there is mostly some friction during and after takover. Maintainership of the package will be hopefully taken over by a new permanent maintainer soon. The documentation part of Autoyast is migrated do our documentation department. So newest Autoyast docu will be available from http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/ (there is still an outdated version there but this will be updated soon ;-) The Wiki page was probably lost when we migrated our wiki some time ago. So far I was not even aware of this page.
