Basic info
Which Suse Version ? SuSE 10.3 32bit Which hardware is used ? Giga-byte RTL 8111/8168B PCI Express Ethernet Controller On Board Realtek Semiconduktor
even dhcpcd nor manual IP setting works
Basic troubleshooting - Do you have more then one network in your server ? No just Onboard, it is activated on pxeboot too. - Is the correct network driver loaded ? Yes, i think so. It is the same driver which is loaded during manual installaiton. And is the correct card used ? Just onboard card. - Are you able to do a manual installation meaning configuring the network by hand ( Select driver , set IP a.s.o ) I can do the autmatic installation, by starting with a start dvd 10.3-32bit. When i get the installation prompt, i write: install=http://192.168.0.1/suse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss autoyast=http://192.168.0.1/autoinstall/workstation-10.3-32bit.xml
After that the automatic installation works well. My /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default configuration line for 10.3-32bit installation looks like following: # Install 32bit OpenSuSE 10.3 Client label ws.10.3-32bit kernel linux-10.3-32 append initrd=initrd-10.3-32 ramdisk_size=65536 vga=0x0317 splash=silent showopts autoyast=http://192.168.0.1/autoinstall/workstation-10.3-32bit.xml install=http://192.168.0.1/suse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss
After this is sorted out and you can set an IP but the automatic installation still fails: - Do you use a info file ? Thus you might should set something like "netwait: 5:" since some cards needs some time to be configured.
I was not able to install a Suse 10.3 on a new DELL machine because the Broadcom Card was named a litte bit different.
What do you mean with "named a little bit different"?
happy weekend Hajo
