WG: [suse-autoinstall] reboot after install
Hello Simon,
forceboot only forces the boot :)
the reboot is done by: <reboot config:type="boolean">true</reboot>

Betreff: [suse-autoinstall] reboot after install
Hi,
I'm trying to get my autoyast setup to reboot after the install has finished,
and then run the initscript scripts after the first boot.
I've got the following section.
<general>
<mode>
<confirm config:type="boolean">true</confirm>
<forceboot config:type="boolean">true</forceboot>

I thought the docs said this option was obsoleted, but I tried it, and it's not working either. From the docs. ----------------- The reboot property in the mode resource was used to force a reboot after initial system setup and before the system is booted for the first time. Currently after initial installation all systems must boot, which makes this option obsolete. -------------------- Well, my systems are very NOT rebooting after they compleat the install.

I don't understand where exactly you want the machine to reboot? The reboot property is useless now, because it triggers a reboot after the package installation. Since SLES9 that happens anyway. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing mind.in.a.box - You Will See

Well, I want a reboot after the post-install scripts have ran, and it doesn't look like I'm getting that. After I install a dual CPU machine, if I run a uname -a it shows it's running a -default kernel. If I reboot the machine manually, it is then running the -smp kernel. This is why I think it's not rebooting at all during the install process. I've just double checked, and it doesn't reboot during the install at all. -- Simon Crute IS&T Bracknell Novell UK Ltd

hm? That has never worked. At least I don't know of any mechanism that triggered a reboot in the middle of stage 2.

that's very strange. What do you install btw? -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing ROTERSAND - dare to live

Basically a reboot at any point will sort me out.

weird. Have you tried to remove "forceboot" and "reboot" from your general section? So that just signature stuff and maybe "confirm" is left? The machine should reboot after stage 1 per default. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing ROTERSAND - by the waters

only with an init-script like this for example: <scripts> <init-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <source><![CDATA[ /sbin/shutdown -h now ]]> </source> </script> </init-scripts> </scripts> -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing mind.in.a.box - Out Of Time

I've remove the foceboot and reboot, and now it is rebooting after the RPM install, and before doing the configuration. So, what am I missunderstanding with the forceboot option then ? -- Simon Crute IS&T Bracknell Novell UK Ltd

the forceboot option is (like the reboot option) useless and not supported anymore. The default of yast is to reboot the machine after the package installation. forceboot overwrites that default with a new value. I'm pretty sure that I tried that option too a while ago and my machine still rebooted. That's why I kept it and thought: "well useless, but can't hurt.". It looks like I was wrong because in your case, it changes the default behaviour to "not booting". I need to take a closer look why that happened and why it's different on your hardware than on mine but I'll drop the "forceboot" code now anyway. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing The Retrosic - The Storm
It sure would be nice to use the option to reboot after stage 2. Like Simon, it's the only way I can ensure some of my changes are updated, so right now I'm using the "duct tape and bailing wire" method of injecting my own code to force a reboot. -----Original Message----- From: Uwe Gansert [mailto:ug@suse.de] Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 8:27 AM To: suse-autoinstall@suse.com Subject: Re: WG: [suse-autoinstall] reboot after install On Friday 08 September 2006 15:11, Simon Crute wrote:

I'll think about that but at the end, it will be a similar (just automated) solution like the init-script version I already suggested. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing :Wumpscut: - Bunkertor 7 [German Texture]
