Dear all, I tried to replicate this error today, but failed, because now half way through the installation breaks with an error message stating that it cannot find the installation source (NFS). This makes me think that the network is being incorrectly configured (or correctly configured by AutoYast, but is useless for our network). The checked the DHCP logs on the autoyast server, and only 1 IP is let out to the client. It does not ask for another one later for the same NIC nor the second NIC (There are two NICs on the client, although I do not know whether the second one is cabled up. Remote site and takes a while for the site management team to check it out). The network config in the xml file is: <interfaces config:type="list"> <interface> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth0</device> <ipaddr>10.205.8.252</ipaddr> <name>NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet</name> <netmask>255.255.252.0</netmask> <prefixlen>22</prefixlen> <startmode>auto</startmode> <usercontrol>no</usercontrol> </interface> </interfaces> The/etc/dhcpd.conf lets out only the IP 10.205.8.252. Perhaps, during the install, autoyast decides to use map the second NIC to eth0, which means it won't find the network. I don't really know because I have no way of checking. Aborting the install leaves me with a dead machine. Thus, is there anyway to make the autoyast xml profile a little more generic when it comes to settings the NIC? Instead of defining this below, perhaps one could allow autoyast to stick to the MAC address it used to boot from. (However I would like to avoid hardcoding the MAC into the XML file because this sort of defeats the purpose of autoyast) <device>eth0</device> Any ideas? -- Once this is solved I can move back to the grub not found problem.

Dear all,
Its been a while since I autoyasted anything. I just started an install and was confronted with this message during the end of the installation:
Error while installing GRUB: sh: /usr/sbin/grub: No such file or directory
I checked the config file (generica-sles11_x84-64-LAMP+Tomcat.xml), for grub packages and found none. This is strange because these profiles were used some months ago. It only contains the grub config entry :
grub I looked in the SLES10 profiles and these contain a package: <package>grub-32bit</package>
Something is amiss, but can anyone spot the mistake?
Best wishes, S.
