Sorry for not quoting properly, I am replying using a webmail system.

in short issue #2 is caused by issue #1

To fix the problem, here are the steps I have followed :

added  : 
autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml to append line in isolinux.cfg

Looks the parameter's order is very important in the info file (install 
parameter seems to needs =, but didn't try with: ), 
here is the working one:

Install=http://10.0.0.1/sles10sp1/base/
Server: 10.0.0.1
Textmode: 1
##AutoYaST: file:///autoinst.xml
BrokenModules: qla2400,qla2xxx
HostIP: 10.0.0.12
Netmask: 255.0.0.0
Gateway: 10.0.0.254
Netdevice: eth2


Now I need to find the right place for the parameter BrokenModules which it not 
honored anymore ;-(

Cheers,
-Guy

Hi all,

I am trying to automatically install a HP blade with autoyast. The hardware is 
componend of 4 ethernet cards.

I am creating a custom iso file that is booted by HP ILO.

isolinux.cfg contains :

label BLADE
 kernel linux
 append initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536 netsetup=-dhcp

Here is the info file I'm using :

InstMode: http
##Instsys: boot/x86_64/root
##Install: http://10.0.0.1/sles10sp1/base/
Textmode: 1
AutoYaST: file:///autoinst.xml
BrokenModules: qla2400,qla2xxx
Gateway: 10.0.0.254
HostIP: 10.0.0.12
Netmask: 255.0.0.0
Netdevice: eth2
Server: 10.0.0.1
Serverdir: /sles10sp1/base/

I've copied this info file into the initrd. (I know InstMode is deprecated but 
I didn't add any success with Install: and Instsys: parameters)

1 - When the system boots, the system prompts again for IP settings. What I've 
did wrong ? What parameters I am missing ?

When I swith to "F3" I see many "SIOCSIF..." failed on interfaces eth0, eth1.
The network settings are then correctly reported and eth2 activated

Then the installation process reports the following error "http error: 404 not 
found"

2 - The installation tell it is loading the image from 
"/sles10sp1/base/boot/root"
The reported path is wrong.
it should be "/sles10sp1/base/boot/x86_64/root/" (note the arch between boot 
and root)

Is this a kown issue ? Any clues how to fix/ workaround it ?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
-Guy
