Hello, I haveen using autoyast quite a while with 10.1 as well as 10.2. Now I tried to use the same autoinstall.xml file I successfully used for 10.2 for 10.3. However this fails in very early state. I install the maschine using SLP (just as I did for 10.2) by which it gets its network installation repository. The SLP parameters are like this: service:install.suse:http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3 autoyast=http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3/autoinstall.xml When I leave the autoyast part from this commandline everything works and after a while I see the yast interface. If I start the machine using the autoyast parameter from above, the system, starts loading the installation system but halts and says Loading Installation system (1kB) 100% No typo here. It really says the system is loaded 100% and is 1 kB in size. The installation system the says that it could not find the openSUSE Repository which works fine if I do not specify the autoyast-Parameter when booting. On console I can see a possible error butI do not know what it really means. Because this log is only written to the screen this exerpt here has been copied manually (it might contain a typo :-)) ): slp: using http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3 autoyast=http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3/autoinstall.xml ... loading http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3 autoyast=http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3/autoinstall.xml/content -> /content sha1 .... sha1 not checked loading http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3 autoyast=http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3/autoinstall.xml/content.asc -> /content.asc sha1 .... sha1 not checked signature ok loading http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3 autoyast=http://installsrv.uni-koblenz.de/linux/suse10.3/autoinstall.xml/boot/i386/ro... -> /download/file_000 sha1 .... sha1 check failed /download/file_000: unknown fs type instsys mount failed: boot/i386/root disk: mount ok but test failed .... What I identify as an error is in the last lines beginning with the failed sha1 check. I tried to loop mount this root-image manually on a 10.2 system and this does not work since it is a squash fs. The correspondig root image from 10.2 is a regular image. When I try to mount the 10.3 root image I get: bliss:/import/sw/linux/suse10.3/boot/i386 # mount -o loop root /mnt mount: you must specify the filesystem type bliss:/import/sw/linux/suse10.3/boot/i386 # file root root: Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 3.0, 0 bytes, 7943 inodes, blocksize: 65536 bytes, created: Wed Sep 26 22:22:45 2007 So I guess this is the error. But how can I work around this problem? Why does it work if i do not specify the autoyast parameter at all? Do I have to change my autoinstall.xml file and if how?
