linuxrc - netdevice=<hwaddress>
by John Willis 18 Dec '12

Does anyone know if any of the SLES releases 9 or 10 support passing the linuxrc option netdevice=<hardware mac address> ? I noticed Red Hat has had this for sometime and it seems totally missing in SuSE which seems really odd. I'm still scratching my head if we really are still passing only by kernel interface name. I read in the change log for linuxrc-1.8.6-3 a change that "sounds" like this feature. * Mon Mar 14 2005 - snwint(a)suse.de - s390: fix segfault in net_list_s390_devs() - extra root image was sometimes not used - allow netdevices to be specified by hwaddress But it looks like linuxrc-1.8.6-3 is only available in SuSE Professional 9.3. "any" commentary would be sincerely appreciated the feature also seems to be fairly minor since any delimiter seperating the octets in the hwaddr string could be used to identify the difference between an interface name and interface hw address if i could figure out a generic method of overriding the linuxrc with a custom script and daisy chain it back into linuxrc after setting up the interface name, I would.. and have a slight idea on how to do that.. but i'd rather find out i'm just missing something and the feature is already there Thanks!

[opensuse-autoinstall] pattern deselection
by Oliver Schweikert 26 Feb '09

Hi all, when i deselect a pattern in yast2 (SLES10-SP2), all its packages get marked as "auto-delete". If a package has any dependencies to other packages it gets not removed, which seems reasonable. But it seems that also a dependency to another "auto-delete" packages prevents it from being deleted. Is this a correct behaviour? You can test it, by installing and removing the "print_server" pattern of SLES 10. After deinstallation, the packages "cups" and "foomatic-filter" remain.

[opensuse-autoinstall] should runlevels/services/service work?

Hello list, I'm just doing an autoyast installation, and my xml file contains: <runlevels> <services config:type="list"> <service> <service_name>ntp</service_name> <service_start>3 5</service_start> </service> [.........] But the ntp services is _not_ installed after that: vmw162:/etc/rc.d/rc3.d # runlevel N 3 vmw162:/etc/rc.d/rc3.d # find . | grep ntp And in fact I needed to start ntp manually. >From the y2log when I grep ntp I get this which might be interesting: [YCP] Security.ycp:62 Mandatory services ["ntp"] are enabled: false [YCP] Security.ycp:71 Missing mandatory services in runlevel 3: [["ntp"], ["postfix", "sendmail"]] [YCP] Security.ycp:62 Mandatory services ["ntp"] are enabled: false [YCP] Security.ycp:71 Missing mandatory services in runlevel 5: [["ntp"], ["postfix", "sendmail"]] manually inssserv: vmw162:/var/log/YaST2 # insserv /etc/init.d/ntp works: vmw162:/etc/rc.d/rc3.d # find . | grep ntp ./K02ntp ./S09ntp Is there another log which I should check?
