Mitko,

I think you need to add an "install=" to your append line... Below is a
snippet from a pxelinux config file I used recently:

  kernel linux
  append initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536
install=http://192.168.1.1/install/SLES9
autoyast=http://192.168.1.1/install/autoinst.xml textmode=1 instmode=http
splash=silent showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off barrier=off

Subject: [suse-autoinstall] Install process can't find source

	I am having another problem (now that I can actually try
autoinstall): 

	PXE starts up, loads the kernel and the initrd image. SuSE
installation process starts, configures some hardware, does a DHCP
request for eth0 and then it goes into the "graphical" screen with the
error message "Could not find the SUSE Linux Installation source".

	I only assume that this means that it can't find the autoinstall
xml file. Below is my PXE config file, which (according to the
documentation) seems correct:

default linux
serial 0 115200
label linux
  kernel suse9.1_amd64/linux
  append ksdevice=eth0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=suse9.1_amd64/initrd network
ramdisk_size=65536 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 serial
autoyast=nfs://1.2.3.4/export/dist/redhat/kickstart/ks-suse9.1-x86_64-iqa.xm
l


	Where do you think the problem could be?
