Hi,
I rectified typographic error (brought a smile to my face) but a //
should not matter but perhaps it does in this case. Additionally, I
removed the loading the blx driver and specifying eth0, just in case it
made any difference. [netdevice=eth0 insmod=bnx2].
The result was identical:
default SLES10_SP3_x86_64
# install SLES10_SP3 - generic profile
label SLES10_SP3_x86_64
kernel sles10_sp3_x86_64/linux
append initrd=sles10_sp3_x86_64/initrd ramdisk_size=65536
install=nfs://10.205.8.145/export/export/sles10sp3_x86_64
hostip=10.205.8.253/24
autoyast=nfs://10.205.8.145/export/profile/generica-sles10sp3_x84_64_autoinst_oracle_ebusiness.xml
textmode=1
I realise that it cannot read the installation, but where does it
fail? I monitored this with tcpdump and the only useful bit I saw was
this. After the TFTP download has finished the autoyast server starts
ARPing for the clients IP address.

When I try a PXE boot it DHCPs the address and downloads the SP3 initrd,

manual install..." menu. I thought that it could not download the
autoinst.xml from the NFS share,
no, if you see that message, AutoYaST has not even tried to read the XML
profile.
It can not read the installation system.
The PXE file contains:
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-d8-d3-85-5a-83-38.sles10_SP3_x86_64:
default SLES10_SP3_x86_64

install=nfs://10.205.8.145/export//export/sles10sp3_x86_64
is the "export//export" really correct?
