I tried to install openSUSE 11 onto an NFS root filesystem on a QS21 Blade.
Sometimes the installation finishes, but sometimes it hangs.
I had success when trying to install with the default packages three times in a
row.
I removed the Novell AppArmor and added some development packages to the
installation. With this setup it hang during unpacking of one of the BASE
packages.
I installed using a DVD and typing "install vnc=1 ssh=1" and the command line
prompt.
The last message I got on the SOL console was:
*** Starting YaST2 ***
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
This error message also appeared when the installation was successful.
I connected to the ssh server and tailed /var/log/YaST2/y2log (see attachment)
The reason for the installer to fail might be related to rpm on nfs: Berkeley
DB
and NFS don't really go together well at all:
