Re: [suse-autoinstall] SLES 9 SP2 frustrations with x86_64

31 Aug 2005

      Tim,

My wife may wake up tomorrow angry at me staying up all-night working on 
this, but somehow I've got it working thanks to yours & Hans' help.

The good news, is it worked, the bad news, is I'm not sure why.

The steps I've followed since your e-mails :

deleted & rebuilt my install source again
booted up witn an info file for the first time (never had done that)
ran xmllint on your autoinstall.xml file, opened it up in a manually 
installed x86_64 server that had just been patched, modified it to fit 
my environment.

And, yeah. I have a server installed with software raid, lvm, all 
through autoinstall.

If you're ever in San Francisco, I owe you both beer!

Thank you.

Michael

Seriously, though. Is there anything wrong with this control file?
    I can't
    figure out how to possibly get any more basic.
Doing it another way. Attached a working autoyast configfile that 
setups software raid and LVM. I'm using this config to deploy x86 
(32bit) SLES 9 SP2.
Regards,
Tim
