SLES9 autoinstall error

Hello,

I am using the network installation method to install SLES9 and
providing an nfs path to the autoinst.xml file. Now the two issues
that I am facing with all/ any of my installations are:

1. The system displays the following error:

"Your computer does not fulfill all requirements for a graphical
installation.There is less than 96MB memory or the X server could not
be started. As a fallback, the text found-end of YaST will guide you
through the installation. This front-end offers the same functionality
as the graphical one, but the screens differ from those in the
manual."

... and the entire installation is in text mode.

2. After displaying the message in (1) above; when autoyast tries to
read the control (autoinst.xml) file; it truncates the path to that
file then asks for the same path again which was correctly defined at
the PXE "boot:" prompt.

Once the path to autoinst.xml is entered again the entire installation
goes fine unattended in text mode and the system comes up with
graphics/ video correctly configured.

Any suggestions to resolve these issues will be highly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ajay
