Hi,

i'm trying to configure the autoinstallation for PXE and DHCP with the
distribution SuSE 8.1. I need a fully automated installation without a 
bootdisk or CD.
Everything seems to work fine untill linuxrc is loaded:
- the client connects to the dhcp-server and receives the ip-address
- pxelinux starts and the kernel and initrd are transfered
- the kernel boots
- starting linuxrc:

>>>SuSE Linux installation program v1.4 (c) 1996-2002 SuSE Linux AG<<<
Starting hardware detection...
Activating usb devices... done
Searching for infofile...
Sending DHCP request to eth0...
Loading Data into ramdisk (39670 KB) ......
Idconfig:Cannot mmap file /usr/lib/liby2pm.so.2.
Idconfig:/usr/lib/liby2pm.so.2.0.0 is not an ELF file - it has the 
wrong magic bytes at the start.
#(then more "Idconfig" error messages are appear)
........
starting syslog (messages are logged to /dev/tty4)...
starting klogd...
integrating kernel modules of the installation system...
#(then the linuxrc screen starts...)
#This error-message comes up: 
           "an error occurred during the installation"

What's the problem? Is it a wrong initrd???

I got my initrd (and the kernel "linux") from the directory 
/boot/loader of the installation CD (SuSE 8.1) .


This is my command line:

default linux
serial 0,9600n8
label linux
 kernel linux
 append console=tty0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd/   
 autoyast=nfs://10.10.200.20/profiles/profile2.xml/
 install=nfs://10.10.200.20/install/ insmod=eepro


This is my dhcpd.conf

ddns-update-style none;
allow booting;

subnet 10.10.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
 range 10.10.200.50 10.10.200.60;
 option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
 option broadcast-address 10.10.200.255;
}

group 
{
 use-host-decl-names on;
 
 host linux001
 {
  hardware ethernet 00:30:05:19:46:45;
  fixed-address 10.10.200.55;
  if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"
  {
   filename "/pxelinux.0";
  }
  else if substring (option vendor-class-identifier,0 ,9) = "Etherboot" 
  {
   filename "/vmlinuz-node.nbi";
  }
 }
}




PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!
