Hi there, the last two days I was busy with searching the solution for the following problem. Generally spoken, it looks like I AM the problem, but see yourself (it is really straight forward): I use autoyast2 (SuSE 9.1) to autoinstall a client successfully via http by handing the following boot arguments over to grub (one line): autoyast=http://myServerIP/path_to_xml/file.xml install=http://myServerIP/suse-9.1 As I said, everything works fine (from booting up, via getting an IP, until the kde logon screen appears). Great. => BUT: Now I wanted to add my own rpms that are neither part of the standard suse installation nor an update to existing ones. So I added the following lines to my xml control file, within the "software" section: <packages config:type="list"> <package>apt</package> <package>apt-libs</package> </packages> Fine, Autoyast also shows "2" additional packages ... Of course I copied both rpms to suse/noarch/ and recreated the package database by saying: create_package_descr -d /myPath/suse \ -l english \ -x /myPath/suse/setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV \ -o /myPath/suse/setup/descr A quick look at /myPath/suse/setup/descr/packages shows that my additional packages are listed there. Great. But now, during client's software installation, exactly these two (mine) packages are not found: "Package 'blabla' was not found on the medium. Error: 11283". Obviously, I did something wrong or missed a crucial step. As I said, I did not find any information by googling around nor did I find help in the documentation. The rpms are there, the package db is up to date ... what else could it be? May someone enlighten me. -- Stephan A.
