Hi, I have a strange problem when trying to create a custom ISO image with autoyast on SuSE 8.1. Whenever I try to create such an image, I get the following message (from yast2): --- No source with this path was found, please add the source using the source manager which is available in the control center. After adding a source, please make sure to enable it. --- But the correct source is there, installing software also works with this source!

RE: [suse-autoinstall] USB Floppy problem during Install

by Chrissy LeMaire

Thanks much. I didnt know which list to ask.. I'll bring it there. Chrissy -----Original Message----- From: Eric Whiting [mailto:ewhiting@amis.com] Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 6:43 PM To: Chrissy LeMaire Cc: suse-autoinstall(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-autoinstall] USB Floppy problem during Install I have a 505 and it is a little harder to install than other systems. I have found that the best way is to borrow/buy the sony PCMCIA and boot from CD then load network drivers and install off the network. I too have had troubles with the USB floppy modules disk. There might be suse workaround for the USB floppy modules disk problem -- but you should probably ask the SLE (suse-linux-english) list rather than the autoinstall list. eric Chrissy LeMaire wrote: > > Hello All, > I have a sony vaio n505vx with a 3com cardbus 575 ethernet adapter.

Suse8, Instal. source HDD auf Notebook

by jenswp＠gmx.de

Ich komme einfach nicht mehr weiter. Ich habe Suse 8.0 Professional, leider keine Handbuecher. Ich moechte Suse auf einer eigenen Partition auf einem Sony VAIO SRX99 installieren. Das Firewire CD ROM wir nicht unterstuezt, deshalb habe ich alle CD aus die Platte kopiert, alle Ordner aus CD1/suse/ CD2/suse etc. liegen jetzt auf C:/temp/suse. Die anderen Ordner aus der 1.CD liegen in c:/temp. Filesystem: NTFS mit win XP. Beim booten waehle ich Option "rootimage erzwingen". Nach div. Schritten bekomme ich eine Uebersicht ueber die Installationsdauer, leider wird immer nur die ERSTE CD rom installiert, danach springt er gleich weiter. Ist das normal ? Werden die restlichen CDs erst nach dem 1. booten installiert ? Zumindest bekomme ich keine Fehlermeldung. Waehrend des ersten bootens bekomme ich folgende Meldungen: . . .

create_package_descr problem

by Eric Whiting

I'm running /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr on my patched suse 8.1 install tree. It seems to be almost working properly now. One problem -- it somehow does not put a certain important +Prv item in the suse/setup/descr/package file. This causes the installer to complain about a dependency problem. I manually added an entry for suseseach.cgi from the susehelp updated package. Either their was a problem in the susehelp update or there is a problem with the create_package_descr script. eric ##---------------------------------------- =Pkg: susehelp 2002.09.05 28 noarch +Req: susehelp_lang suse_help_viewer htdig recode wget inf2htm fillup fileutils /bin/sh /bin/bash /usr/bin/perl rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1 -Req: +Prq: fillup fileutils /bin/sh rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1 -Prq: +Prv: manhtml susehilf dochost /srv/www/cgi-bin/susesearch.cgi <=========== LINE I had to add -Prv: +Obs: susehilf dochost -Obs: =Grp: Documentation/SuSE =Lic: GPL =Src: susehelp 2002.09.05 28 src =Tim: 1035815749 =Loc: 1 susehelp-2002.09.05-28.noarch.rpm =Siz: 214643 303940

USB Floppy problem during Install

by Chrissy LeMaire

Hello All, I have a sony vaio n505vx with a 3com cardbus 575 ethernet adapter. I currently do not have a working CDROM and I'm trying to install off of the FTP site. I run into a problem once I get to the blue menu screen and it asks for a modules disk. The menu screen does not see my USB Floppy and it will always say "Error reading from floppy disk!". I've tried this on suse 7.3 and suse 8.1 I found some guy that patched his boot 7.2 disk to work with 3com 59x, but unfortunately, thats not a 575 :/ Anyway, is there a SuSE network boot disk or some other quick solution that would help me get this installed? I found a mandrake one and attempted it and it worked sweetly, but ive been using suse for years now and I don't want to switch over this problem. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Raid 1

by Frank Pascher

Hi, I'm having massiv problems with software Raid 1. 1.: There is no way to set it up via autoyast2 menu. 2.: If I set it up manually it doesn't work. Does anyone have a working example ? Next thing is: On some computers Software Raid 1 is working without problems (manually installed); on the next machine there is no boot. Any help is appreciated. cheers frank +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie | | Abt.1 (wissenschaftliche DV) | | | | Frank Pascher | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Auf dem Huegel 69 Tel.: +49 (228) 525 359 | | 53121 Bonn Fax.: +49 (228) 535 229 | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Email: mailto:fpascher@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de | | WWW: http://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de | | PGP Fingerprint: 13D1 8C86 57B3 2850 F158 4879 E5F3 7E20 | +----------------------------------------------------------+

ldap/runlevels

by jef peeraer

first of all, i want to say how great this package is. I can install my servers in 15 minutes. ( i have 15 servers to install in the future ) Great job! There are however a couple of small problems that persist. I am still using the suse 8.0, version of auto-install is : yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.27-1. I defined the ldap-client ( i know, there were a couple of mails about that before, but there was no mention about suse version, and i tried it with ldapclient, with no results however). Maybe you an give me an example how a correctsetup should be. Another thing is that the runlevels that are defined in the autoinstall setup don't seem to correspond with the runlevels on the freshly installed server. That's anoying. There must also be a confusion between language and keyboard. I use a 'ducth' keyboard ( azerty, i know, very annoying, but its my client who uses it ) and 'dutch' language, however, on the server i always have to readjust the keyboard. So, these are my 3 problems, minor ones, but would be nice if they could be solved. Thanks anyway, and again, wonderfull package!!

filesystem options

by ralonso＠lis.state.oh.us

Hi all. I'd like to be able to specify what the filesystem options are from the control file. I looked through the ycp files and I see that apparently this was started on but not finished in 8.0. I see that the 8.1 version does allow you to do this (according to http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/). However, I'm using 8.0. Is there anyway for me to do this without upgrading to 8.1? Can I just install the 8.1 yast2-(config|module)-autoinst rpms or will that cause problems under 8.0? Thanks, Robert
