Hello everyone,

However, when installation finishes,
there is no kernel installed under /boot
(the k_deftl package is not installed).
I have discovered that removing
<packages config:type="list">
</packages>
of the control file, the installation
works fine with the kernel installed.
It seems autoyast2 doen't like an
empty <packages> list.
Somebody have experienced similar
behaviour? What is the cause?
Maybe an autoyast2 bug?
Thanks in advance,
