Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] SLES 11 SP1 x86_64 invalid root filesystem after autoyast install

taking a quick look and comparing with a tool like "kdiff" shows
some
different enties (regarding the bootloader, grub .

The "autoinst.xml" from your manual installation for example has
entries
in <bootloader> and <loader_type> like this:

<image>(hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.32.12-0.7-default</image>
<initrd>(hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.32.12-0.7-default</initrd>

<pertitioning> (boot)
<fstopt>acl,user_xattr</fstopt>

These entries are missing in your original file. I don't know if it
is
a
help for you. Try "kdiff" or any similar tool and it gives a good
starting point to compare that files.

I'm still struggeling with my own <bootloader> entries so I'm not
really
an expert for your question ;-)

Thanks for the reply. I've added the entire <bootloader> from the
working
autoyast into my autoyast and I am testing now. My concern is that
the
kernel version referenced above may change. Will autoyast figure out
that
a newer kernel was installed and adjust appropriately? I assume that
it
will, but I'd like to leave it as generic as possible and let the
system
figure it out at build time.

The test failed. An interesting thing that I didn't mention is that if
I
reboot (rather than just exit the shell) 3 times, the system will
finally
load normally.

I've attached the revised autoyast. Note that I've added our local
package and update repositories. If it makes it simpler for
troubleshooting, I can leave these out. The problem occurs in either
case.


OK, making some progress...After removing the following <remove-package>
lines, my autoyast file works.

<package>eject</package>
<package>elilo</package>
<package>emacs</package>
<package>emacs-info</package>
<package>emacs-x11</package>
<package>finger</package>
<package>FirmwareUpdateKit</package>
<package>ivman</package>
<package>pm-profiler</package>
<package>ppp</package>
<package>rcs</package>
<package>rsh</package>
<package>suspend</package>
<package>wireless-tools</package>

Do any of these look like they could cause this issue?

Thanks,
Justin
