What I did was just an example to show the autoyast=default works.
The option to create CDs in autoyast does not supoort multiple sources 
like SLES. So you have to create your own. There is an unofficial 
package 2.6.45 on the ftp site with  scripts to create a CD. Use it and 
see if it solves the problem.
