autoinstall fails with 10.1 works with earlier versions
Greetings, I'm trying to get an autoinstall working for SuSE-10.1 using the same autoyast.xml that has worked just fine for 10.0 and 9.3, and it keeps failing with an assortment of errors. Right now, the failure that I'm seeing occurs when the yast installer reaches the "Configure Software selections" portion, at which point I see the error: Could not set patterns/selections: Basis-Devel,Gnome,Kde,Kde-Desktop,Kernel-devel Here's what the relevant portion of my autoyast.xml looks like: <software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>Basis-Devel</addon> <addon>Gnome</addon> <addon>Network</addon> <addon>Kde</addon> <addon>Kde-Desktop</addon> <addon>Kernel-Devel</addon> <addon>X11</addon> </addons> </software> I'm doing this installation over http from a local system which has the contents of the downloaded SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-DVD-x86_64.iso image available via apache. thanks! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.

that works fine here and I don't see that error message. Are you sure your installation source is okay? Maybe you should try to add <base>default</base> or any other base selection but actually your <software> section is working here. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de/~ug

No, i'm not. But I used the downloadable DVD image, contents, so if its not ok, then we have bigger problems. Is there a known good internet accessible install source for 10.1 that I can test against?

I tried that, but then I get an error that default isn't a valid base selection. thanks for your help. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L. Friedman netllama@gmail.com LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org

I just tried this again, using this site instead in the info file: http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ and i'm still getting the same error. I looked at the Y2log, and I'm seeing: Bad media attach point: http://204.152.191.7/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ At this point, it looks like i just don't have a valid installation source, although it boggles my mind how that is possible. The DVD ISO image doesn't work, and neither does this public mirror. So what I really need to know is where is a valid installation source for 10.1? It would also be swell if the installer actually provided useful error messages, but i guess that's a complaint for a different mailing list. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
