Hi
Was anybody succsessfull with autoyast2-installation
an an (samba) smb://... repository?
I have some Problems with autoinstallation with autoyast2 and a
samba-Source-Repository.
The SuSE-Version is 8.1
I've set up an dhcp-Server with pxe-envornment.
The Client loads kernel and initrd perfectly.
Then the Client loads its autoyast2-configuration-file
via tftp from the same server.
The Client analyzes the xml-configuration file -> Ok
After that YaST reports the following information:
-------------------------------------------------
[X] Load and configure additional kernel modules
[X] Configure Language,Keyboard and TimeZone
[X] Configure Mouse
[X] Execute pre-install user scripts
[X] Configure Bootloader
=> Configure Software Selections
Error
Error while configuring software selections.
Please try again.
------------------------------------------------
Using the shell on tty2 I saw, that the samba-share with the source was
successfully mounted to /var/adm/mount
In /var/log/YaST2/y2log I saw:
...
InstURL::installInf2Url: 125 URL smb://192.168.152.162SuSE81
...
ScanMedia: //
...
Failed to open:// ERROR (Media: invalid URL)
Where is the mistake ?
BTW: Installing via nfs works perfectly (but we do need an Samba-Server for
the SuSE-Installation-Media)
Is it possible to use a pre-install Script to mount the Media to another
Mount-Point and use a file:... - Url ?
Here some Details about my Configuration:
pxe-config (we use pxegrub):
