Hi again, I just discovered that there is a problem in the SuSE 8.0 network-/ dsl-setup which screws the order in which the networkdevices are initialized in the bootprocess. Good thing is that there is a patch which fixes this problem. http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/thallma_dsl_80.html Thanks to everyone for all the help and good advice Sebastian -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sebastian.Beckmann@t-online.de [mailto:Sebastian.Beckmann@t-online.de] Gesendet: Freitag, 5.

The Softwareinsatllation via Autoyast works real nice. But now comes my problem: When I set up the DSL-configuration via YAST everything is working pretty fine at first, but after the next reboot neither DSL or the rest of my NICs are working proberly. It seems that the complete network-setup is messed up. I tried every ethernetcable on each NIC and discovered that the interfaces changed somehow. The routes are still ok but somehow all networkdevices switched place. Before reboot: eth0: 3com-card eth1: 3com card eth2: realtek card after reboot: eth0: realtek card (WHY?) eth1: 3com card eth2: 3com card I've noticed that after setting up a fresh system and running YAST, YAST does not recognise the allready working NICs and proposes to set them up again, this time as eth3 till eth5. Am I doing something wrong while installing the system via Autoyast? Here is my snippet from the autoinst.xml -----8<----- <interfaces config:type="list"> <interface> <BOOTPROTO>static</BOOTPROTO> <BROADCAST>192.168.1.255</BROADCAST> <IPADDR>192.168.1.10</IPADDR> <NETMASK>255.255.255.0</NETMASK> <NETWORK>192.168.1.0</NETWORK> <STARTMODE>onboot</STARTMODE> <UNIQUE/> <device>eth0</device> <module>3c59x</module> <options/> </interface> <interface> <BOOTPROTO>static</BOOTPROTO> <BROADCAST>192.168.2.255</BROADCAST> <IPADDR>192.168.2.10</IPADDR> <NETMASK>255.255.255.0</NETMASK> <NETWORK>192.168.2.0</NETWORK> <STARTMODE>onboot</STARTMODE> <UNIQUE/> <device>eth1</device> <module>3c59x</module> <options/> </interface> <interface> <BOOTPROTO>static</BOOTPROTO> <BROADCAST>192.168.3.255</BROADCAST> <IPADDR>192.168.3.10</IPADDR> <NETMASK>255.255.255.0</NETMASK> <NETWORK>192.168.3.0</NETWORK> <STARTMODE>onboot</STARTMODE> <UNIQUE/> <device>eth2</device> <module>8139too</module> <options/> </interface> </interfaces> -----8<----- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Sebastian Beckmann -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com
