Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] autoyast stops at 28%

Hi Oliver
AFAIK the kernel cuts the command line off at 255 chars. This might be the reason loghost= and autoyast= are ignored.
What i've found is at http://syslinux.zytor.com/history.php Changes in 3.08:
"Max command line changed to 1024 characters. Note that the kernel proper still can only handle 255 characters without patching, and COM16 binaries can only handle 125 characters."
Regards,
Michael Leu

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

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.
