Mailinglist Archive: opensuse-autoinstall (59 mails)

[John SJ Anderson <genehack@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Sorry for what may be a stupid and/or FAQ -- Google isn't being my
  friend and the list archive search function is disabled at the moment.

  I'm trying to set up a SLES10SP1 AutoYast server. I've got the CD
  images copied onto disk, and I can boot a target server and have it
  use the install server and the configuration file and everything
  works. The only problem is that I can't seem to get it to do a
  completely automated install -- it pauses at the 'Installation
  Settings' screen and I have to hit 'Accept' to get it to go on.

  I'm using the "simplest possible config" from the FAQ page:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd">
<profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns"; 
xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns";>
    <partitioning config:type="list">
        <drive>
            <use>all</use>
        </drive>
    </partitioning>
    <users config:type="list">
        <user>
            <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted>
            <user_password>yeahright</user_password>
            <username>root</username>
        </user>
    </users>
</profile>

  I'm reasonably sure that everything else is good to go, as I said,
  because if I do hit 'return' on the Accept button the install runs and
  finishes.


  I have applied the 'sles10sp1_root_fix_v0.4' fix; the driverupdate
  file is in the CD1 directory and I see messages about it being
  applied. 

  Further details: Dell 1750 (32bit Xeon, Tigon3 NIC), booting off the
  CD1, specifying text mode install via F3, specifying NFS install via
  F4, giving further boot param
  'autoyast=nfs://$SERVER_IP/install/generic.xml', which is where that
  file above lives.


  I was not having this problem with SLES9SP3 but our partitioning
  configs are much more elaborate that the simple example config. I
  guess I'll try using the partitioning section from one of those
  configs next and see if that resolves the problem.

  Thanks for any suggestions/pointers.

john.
