Well it sure does not work. SSH never gives a prompt to login. The system
does ping after the reboot,
Loook at these articles.
http://docs.telante.com/index.php/HOWTO_Install_SUSE_Linux_Remotely_without_...
and
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Remote_Installation_of_SUSE_LINUX
ssh deamon never starts so you can not do an install. Here I am 700 miles away
and it is 3:30 in the morning and after 4 hours I have never been able to get a
login.
Use ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/boot/loader/
to copy initrd /boot/initrd.install
and copy linux /boot/linux.install
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/
and there were not typo's because I copy pasted the same IP addresss that I
could
ping before the reboot. If I could get to the machine I would copy paste the
exact menu.lst entries. But seeing the machine is 700 miles away and 3:30 am I
can not call or get a hold of any one to turn the machine off and back on so it
would boot to the old kernel. Any suggestions on how to use linuxrc that the
articles suggest to get the machines to boot for an install would be greatly
appreciated. Given I reported the bug befor release and it now is still there.
Maybe trying it with fixing my type-o's would also yield you the exact same
results for you.
