Here is my mkisofs command: mkisofs -oe:\images\autosuse.img -p"Stephan.Joerrens@GAD.de" -P"GAD DZS/ABS" -A"SuSE-Linux-Professional- DEi386-8.0.0#autoinstall0" -V"SuSEautoinst.001" -r -T -J -pad -bsuse/images/boot/isolinux.bin -csuse/images/isolinux.catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 boot-info-table .

Try using the Volume ID from the original SuSE Linux CDs: Volume id: SU8000.001 instead of -V"SuSEautoinst.001"

Don't ask why, it works now..... Perhaps it was the -V"SU8000.001" entry together with some other changes I made on the CD. Thanks Stephan Joerrens

Hi, I had exactly the same problem. An -V SU8000.001 helped. By the way: This is the original COmmandline SuSE used to produce the CD Bootimage: mkisofs 1.14 -p CD-Team, feedback@suse.de -P SuSE GmbH, suse@suse.de -r -T \ -J -pad -sort /var/tmp/m_cd-Wbjzkb -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -b suse/images/boot/isolinux.bin -c suse/images/boot.catalog -A \ SuSE-Linux-Professional-DE-i386-8.0.0#0 -V SU8000.001 -o ../../iso/SuSE-8.0-Prof-i386-de-RC4-CD1.iso /var/tmp/m_cd-YiiVui CD1 The subdirectory suse of the CD/DVD contains all files needed for making a correct boot image. I found this by doing a 'strings' on the Bootimage of the DVD ;-)

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem. An -V SU8000.001 helped. By the way: This is the original COmmandline SuSE used to produce the CD Bootimage:

mkisofs 1.14 -p CD-Team, feedback@suse.de -P SuSE GmbH, suse@suse.de -r -T \ -J -pad -sort /var/tmp/m_cd-Wbjzkb -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -b suse/images/boot/isolinux.bin -c suse/images/boot.catalog -A \ SuSE-Linux-Professional-DE-i386-8.0.0#0 -V SU8000.001 -o ../../iso/SuSE-8.0-Prof-i386-de-RC4-CD1.iso /var/tmp/m_cd-YiiVui CD1

The subdirectory suse of the CD/DVD contains all files needed for making a correct boot image.

I found this by doing a 'strings' on the Bootimage of the DVD ;-)

Linuxrc checks for "SU" in the volume string of the CDROM just to make sure SuSE CDs are being used. For some more information about ISO creation, please see the SDB article about that (which is not related to autoinstallation). http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/fhassel_bootcd.html Next release will have an option for creating ISO images for auto-installation.

Hi Anas, I hope, there will be a maintenance release for 8.0 too. We have bought the 8.0 release, but for our hardware configuration (lvm with 2 disks) the autoinstall just doesn't work. However, I do not see any other reason why we should switch to 8.1.

Hi Anas,

I hope, there will be a maintenance release for 8.0 too. We have bought the 8.0 release, but for our hardware configuration (lvm with 2 disks) the autoinstall just doesn't work. However, I do not see any other reason why we should switch to 8.1.

I did not suggest you should switch. Automated installation, or short autoyast2 is not an independent product. It's part of YaST2 which is part of any Box release. New features come with every new release. And the question that was raised concerned new features.. With regard to the LVM Problem, I did not want to fix the existing code in 8.0 and prefered till I had a better implementation and then backport it to 8.0. Yesterday I came to that point, a bit late and sorry about that. There is a new RPM in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/nashif/autoyast2/RPMS/ it's still a release candidate (yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.27rc1-0.noarch.rpm) and would be ofrficially released only if it works for everyone.. Please let me know. Anas -- Anas Nashif , SuSE Linux AG Montreal (Laval), Canada
