Yast installing from mounted ISO images?
Hello all. I've been attempting to configure YAST to install from NFS mounted CD ISO images, both on my own and via the instructions listed at this document: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/8973.html ...but it doesn't seem to work. YAST continues to ask for CD2 to be inserted, even with all other installation sources disabled. Am I missing something? The setup seems pretty straightforward. df -k [...] /export/install/suse/sles_9_x86/SLES-9-i386-RC5-CD1.iso 271520 271520 0 100% /suse/1 /export/install/suse/sles_9_x86/SLES-9-i386-RC5-CD2.iso 625984 625984 0 100% /suse/2 /export/install/suse/sles_9_x86/SLES-9-i386-RC5-CD3.iso 594784 594784 0 100% /suse/3 /export/install/suse/sles_9_x86/SLES-9-i386-RC5-CD4.iso 558720 558720 0 100% /suse/4 /export/install/suse/sles_9_x86/SLES-9-i386-RC5-CD5.iso 665120 665120 0 100% /suse/5 /export/install/suse/sles_9_x86/SLES-9-i386-RC5-CD6.iso 663840 663840 0 100% /suse/6 Yast install sources: Off SUSE SLES Version 9 cd:///;devices=/dev/hda Off SUSE CORE Version 9 cd:///;devices=/dev/hda On SUSE SLES Version 9 dir:///suse/1/ On SUSE CORE Version 9 dir:///suse/2/ On dir:///suse/3// dir:///suse/3/ On dir:///suse/4// dir:///suse/4/ On dir:///suse/5// dir:///suse/5/ On dir:///suse/6// dir:///suse/6/ uname -a Linux was1-x86 2.6.5-7.151-bigsmp #1 SMP Fri Mar 18 11:31:21 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Messages in /var/log/YaST2/y2log: [...] 2005-04-26 14:10:29 <1> was1-x86(27748) [YCP] SlideShow.ycp:1257 SetCurrentCdNo(2,2) 2005-04-26 14:10:29 <1> was1-x86(27748) [Y2PM] Y2PM.cc(internal_commitPackages):1045 Process media 2 of InstSrc(<-1486)(InstSrcDescr(<-1)(UnitedLinux:SUSE CORE-9- from dir:///suse/2/(/))|InstSrcDataUL(<-1)((propagating sel:0 pkg:1482 you:0)) 2005-04-26 14:10:29 <1> was1-x86(27748) [mediaaccess] MediaHandler.cc(attach):171 Attached: dir:///suse/2 attached; localRoot "/suse/2" 2005-04-26 14:10:29 <2> was1-x86(27748) [mediaaccess] MediaHandler.cc(provideFile):242 provideFile(/media.2/media): ERROR(Media:file not found) 2005-04-26 14:10:29 <1> was1-x86(27748) [packagemanager] InstSrc.cc(provideMedia):790 Media can't provide '/media.2/media': ERROR(Media:file not found) 2005-04-26 14:10:29 <1> was1-x86(27748) [mediaaccess] MediaHandler.cc(release):219 Released: dir:///suse/2 not attached; localRoot "/suse/2" Any ideas? -- James Quinby Unix Admin, Manheim

Did you tell yast to "refresh" the source? how are you mounting the image(S?) B-)

No, that's only for suse pro. For SLES you need to follow http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/09/sles9_network_installation.html

Yast install sources:

wouldn't you want the installation source to simple be On SUSE SLES Version 9 dir:///suse/ That way, it can find the other CD's by itself instead of having to use a "different" source? B-)
