Hi

thx for your help but it didn´t work for me....this is what I did add the -r option to the syslog 
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0"
and I add this to /tftboot/pxelinux.cfg/default add the end of the file
loghost=installserverIP
but if I do so, no entries were written in the /var/log/messages on the installserver
If I add this option under the label like so
LABEL OpenSUSE-10.2_auto
         kernel opensuse-10.2/i386/linux 
         append console=ttyS0,38400 initrd=opensuse-10.2/i386/initrd               root=/dev/ram0 load_ramdisk=1 splash=silent showopts                            ramdisk_size=4096 loghost=21X.XXX.XXX.195
        init=linuxrc insmod=e100 insmod=e1000 insmod=forcedeth                   install=http://21X.XXX.XXX.195/suse/10.2/cd1/ autoyast=http://21X.XXX.XXX.195/autoinst.xml
Entries were written in /var/log/messages but autoyast passed and normal yast starts so that I have to do all manuell. But I want to realize an automatic installation with no input during installation. So what i´m doing wrong???

Mit freundlichem Gruß / Best regards

Oliver Klein

If you're doing a network install, a start  would be to create a log  
host (add the -r option to SYSLOGD_PARAMS in /etc/sysconfig/syslog  
and restart it on the server you are installing from) then add  
loghost=buildserverIP   to your linux commandline (in /tftpboot/ 
pxelinux.cfg/hostname, for example).. At the very least autoyast will  
give you a lot of incomprehensible information in /var/log/messages,  
and perhaps one or two lines that are telling you what's broken.

If you're actually at the console of this machine as well, you can  
hit alt-f2 or alt-f3 to see if any log messages are generated.
