[opensuse-autoinstall] Is AY using stuff from the installed system?
Hi, still playing around with SLES-updates to a SuSE system. Got it all working by copying the SLES RPMs into the updates/ dir. But now writing the lilo.conf fails at the end of the installation (just no file is created at all and AY complains sth. went wrong with the bootloader). This happens when the the packages limal limal-bootloader limal-perl from SLES10 are in the updates/ dir and are installed in the otherwise SuSE 10.1 system. I find this quite confusing: Doesn't the installer contain all modules that it needs for writing config files in the installed system? Of course AY takes stuff like lilo and mk_initrd from the installed system, but for generating config files, too? This is not a problem here, of course, I'm just curious about the way AY works. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but there is item in menu "Create reference profile" to create AY profile from running system. -- Best Regards, Michal Zugec Software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: mzugec@suse.cz Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 296 542 374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Perl Modules for example are taken from the installed system too. A bad mixture of installation system and installed system can lead to trouble.

Most of the stuff is really taken from the installation system but there are a few exceptions beside the binaries your already mentioned. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

I realized that I was using the SLES10 installer for the SLES SP1 packages because the SP1 installer cannot handle SuSE 10.1 systems at all. So I guess that's what doesnt match, SLES vs. SP1. However, now that I think about it, I guess I should be able to use the SP1 installer now that I added all those SP1 packages to the repository. I will try that.
