Anyone using Athlon and AutoYAST?
Hi again! After installing quite a few Pentium based machines with SuSE 8.0 and AutoYaST I tried to get it running on an Athlon system. Unfortunately the installation stops after packages are installed with a nice green box complaining about "clients/inst_finish.ycp not found". I had a look at this and I found that for some reason the mounted cramfs was empty (all files gone). Anyone having similar problems? After this I upgraded to latest yast2-module-autoinst - no improvements, instead YaST2 now asks me wether it should start the installation ... so I went back to the original one ... I also tried the "mem=nopentium" option - without success. Can this really be a Athlon specific problem? Or does anyone have a different idea?

I did a couple of successful installations on athlon systems (900MHz, 1GHz) without any problems.

I have been having the same problem when my installation makes it that far.
Usually YAST2 will not install KDE2 packages, I receive an error during the
installation that the KDE2base, games...etc could not be installed. I have
no idea why, first I thought it was the medium (CD) then I tried the DVD and
had the same response and I tried a install from copying the entire dvd to a
mountable hard drive...and installed, still the same issue. Most likely it
is something small that I am missing.

Ok the problem is related to my pre-/post- install scripts. However I don't know why this error occurs only on one machine. I use the pre-script to store ssh keys on a ramdisk and restore them in the post-script. By now I used /dev/ram2 for this. I am currently running a test with /dev/ram6 (perhaps this might solve the problems). However it'd be nice to know which ramdisks get used during installation and which ones can be used without any danger ... and it'd be even nicer if there was some documentation of the install process itself (what ist done after kernel and initrd is loaded - which programs are executed before/after/by yast etc.) Ciao, Marcel ---- Marcel Ritter Linux Betreuer Regionales Rechenzentrum Erlangen ---- Unix _IS_ user friendly...
