I've got a problem creating autoyast xml files on a HP-BL20pg3 server (SuSE 9.3).
The result of the creation of the xml file doesn't seem to be valid at all.
Here are the steps I did 1. started yast/yast2: chose misc -> autoinstallation I got an empty set of basic settings. 2. create the reference file: Tools ->Create Reference Profile.
Is that machine a 9.3 too? I would suggest to start with an empty profile and then configure all you need (partitioning, software, network, root password) from scratch. Then you have a better overview on what you have configured in the profile.
With DTD:
/tmp/YaST2-15489-tNCLVw/valid.xml:12: element device_map: validity error : No declaration for attribute type of element device_map
^ What was wrong?
I don't know. It might help to see the profile.xml. Can you post it?
- File -> new shows no impact
thank you, that's a bug. I fixed that and you can download new RPMs from here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ug/RPMs/9.3/autoyast/
- created a dummy partition maually without the crypt option being checked: <partition> <crypt>twofish256</crypt> ... I don't know the internals, perhaps I'm wrong, but.. maybe you can tell me
I'm not sure if I undrestand your question right but the <crpyt> tag does not meant that the partition is encrypted. So it can always be there and does not hurt. It's just an information IF the partition is encrypted.
- Configuring my partition setup after generating a reference file isn't possible. The left bar tells me sth about a table to the right. Unfortunately there is no table to the right - there is no problem, when start with an empty setup.
that's another bug (but that one I already knew) and it's fixed too in the RPMs above.
Is there a way to tell yast to create a xml file on installation time, like kickstart?
I don't know kickstart but wouldn't that be the "reference profile" from the autoyast UI? -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nürnberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
