linuxrc - netdevice=<hwaddress>
by John Willis 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Does anyone know if any of the SLES releases 9 or 10 support passing the linuxrc option netdevice=<hardware mac address> ? I noticed Red Hat has had this for sometime and it seems totally missing in SuSE which seems really odd. I'm still scratching my head if we really are still passing only by kernel interface name. I read in the change log for linuxrc-1.8.6-3 a change that "sounds" like this feature. * Mon Mar 14 2005 - snwint(a)suse.de - s390: fix segfault in net_list_s390_devs() - extra root image was sometimes not used - allow netdevices to be specified by hwaddress But it looks like linuxrc-1.8.6-3 is only available in SuSE Professional 9.3. "any" commentary would be sincerely appreciated the feature also seems to be fairly minor since any delimiter seperating the octets in the hwaddr string could be used to identify the difference between an interface name and interface hw address if i could figure out a generic method of overriding the linuxrc with a custom script and daisy chain it back into linuxrc after setting up the interface name, I would.. and have a slight idea on how to do that.. but i'd rather find out i'm just missing something and the feature is already there Thanks!

[opensuse-autoinstall] openSUSE 12.2 and autoyast-configured services
by Conny Seidel 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hello list, I'm having difficulties enabling systemd services in openSUSE 12.2 from the autoyast file. Our current way doesn't work anymore: <runlevel> <default>3</default> <services config:type="list"> <service> <service_name>rpcbind</service_name> <service_status>enable</service_status> </service> </services> </runlevel> At least not for rpcbind. My workaround currently is to use a post-script to do a "systemctl enable rpcbind.service". -- Kind regards.

[opensuse-autoinstall] Autoyast on installed system
by Joschi Brauchle 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hello all, I would like to update an installed system with a new AutoYast XML profile (containing only updated stuff) and found that there is a /sbin/yast ayast_setup setup filename=profile.xml command that does just that. Unfortunately, the docs about what this command does exactly are very spare. Uwe mentions on http://suse.gansert.net/?p=38 that (quoting): ------- The XML file will be read by AutoYaST and applied to your currently running system except (and that’s good – you want it that way, believe me) all 1st stage configuration like partitioning, bootloader, pre- and chrootscripts and software selection. ------- => Thus, for software updates I use post-packages, => for scripts I wanted to use post-scripts and init-scripts. But it looks like init-scripts are not run... is there a complete list of steps that are actually done by this command? Background: I would like to use zypper to enable a repo with the XML mentioned above. But as it does not run the init-scripts and Yast locks the RPM database during post-scripts, I looks like zypper cannot be used along with "ayast_setup setup" at all, right? Best regards, Joschi Brauchle

[opensuse-autoinstall] default values
by Marcus Moeller 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi all. I just got a general question: When using yast2 autoyast module every value in a section is written on changes. e.g.I have only defined that the bootloader should be written to the mbr but the following properties are set in the XML: <global> <boot_boot>false</boot_boot> <boot_custom></boot_custom> <boot_extended>false</boot_extended> <boot_mbr>true</boot_mbr> <boot_root>false</boot_root> </global> As these seems to be default settings, can I just remove them from the XML? How do you handle it? Do you leave them in, as I guess next time the profile is edited with yast2 autoyast, they would be inserted again?

[opensuse-autoinstall] issue when using many repositories
by Robert Klein 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi, I have an issue when using an autoyast profile with some 30 add-on repositories. One or two repositories always fail ("Failed to add add-on product"). Happens with repositories specified either as ftp or as nfs repositories. Is there anything known about this? I don't see anything in the log files of the ftp/nfs-server, just the connections stopping. Is there anything known about this? BTW, this is easier to see in the log files when using nfs, so I didn't notice it earlier: _seven_ connections per repository when adding it as an add-on product. Seems a bit much..
