Hi.

I think you misunderstood what my problem is. I'll try to describe my problem better.

I'm not trying to install from nfs.
I'm installing from http and the install goes just fine.

Within the autoyast xml configuration I have defined several NFS mount points, which the machine should use once installed. 

Like this:

    <nfs config:type="list">
      <nfs_entry>
        <mount_point>/opt/lam-6.5.9</mount_point>
        <nfs_options>bg,soft</nfs_options>
        <server_path>srv611:/opt/lam-6.5.9</server_path>
      </nfs_entry>
      <nfs_entry>
        <mount_point>/gx01</mount_point>
        <nfs_options>bg,soft</nfs_options>
        <server_path>uxfile01:/export/sta/dd1/gf/gx01</server_path>
      </nfs_entry>
      <nfs_entry>
        <mount_point>/home3</mount_point>
        <nfs_options>bg,soft</nfs_options>
        <server_path>uxfile01:/export/dyn/ddc/3</server_path>
      </nfs_entry>
    </nfs>


This is whats happening:

*   Installations is started with SELS9 CD1
*   I point it the the http server where the install will find all the RPM packages etc.
*   I point it to the autoyast configuration fil
*   The install completes and the machine reboots
*   The network settings (from the autoyast configuration file) is applyed
    BUT the DHCP address isn't released (see my previous mail for details)
*   The machine tries to mount all the NFS shares defined in the autoyast xml file (see above).
    The NFS server rejects the newly installed machine because it uses a wrong ipadress (the DHCP address).
*   I end up on with a login prompt and the NFS mounts failed

If I manually reboot the the machine when the install is done, the DCHP address isn't used anymore and the from now on I have my NFS shares with every reboot. But that isn't really a solution for me, because I need the NFS shares while running several post install scripts.
