I'm trying to get SLED-11-SP1 installing via autoyast, but the install (for both i686 & x86_64) fails as soon as it reaches the 'Create partition plans' step with a pop-up error stating: These packages could not be found in the software repositories: autoyast2-installation
I'm rather puzzled by this, as I've got that very RPM on my installation server under $OS/suse/noarch
Anyone have any suggestions?
you should make autoyast stop in the proposal screen by either passing "y2confirm" on the kernel commandline or by setting
to true in the <general><mode> section (see http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/configuration.html#CreateProfile.General ) then, when it stops, click on the "Software" link and try to select autoyast2- installation manually to see a more verbose error message of the resolver.
Thanks for your input. I tried passing the y2confirm option, and then the installation fails with a different error: Unable to create repository from URL 'http://10.31.40.58/distros/suse/os/SLED11-SP1/x86'. Details: [|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s) History: - /var/cache/zypp/raw/SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Desktop-11-SP1 11.1.1-1.133xZEGet: No metadata checksums in content file. I'm not sure what this error is about, as the URL that its referencing is definitely valid, and has the full contents of the SLED11-SP1-i586 DVDs copied into it. I should note that the my original problem went away for x86_64 when I switched to the final version of SLED11-SP1. Its only i586 that continues to cause problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
