Hi,
I wish to compose custom install CD so that server
could be fully restored from single CD without network.
I'm booting from this same CD and my boot command line
looks like this:
autoyast=floppy://myserverl.xml install=cdrom://
Now I'm stuck with last problem: after configuring
and partitioning setup wants to mount install media
but fails because CD is mounted already and busy:
Could not mount the source medium.
mount: /dev/hdd already mounted or
/var/adm/mount busy mount: according to mtab,
/dev/hdd is already mounted on /var/adm/mount.
What I do wrong and how to get this setup working?

Hello,
we have SLES 7 for S/390 running as virtual guests under VM and just received
the first Maintenance CD.
Is it possible to perform the maintenance/patch process via a batch script
(including the rpm executing and
everything else that yast might do) instead of performing the documented
procedure
(update of YOU, perform Yast to implement the maintenance) manually? I mean,
consider having 100 virtual
Linux servers running under VM, I wouldn't want to perform this procedure for
each of the servers...)
The source data can be made available on a shared VM disk for all Linux guests.
mit freundlichen Grüßen/with best regards
Thomas Emde

Hi list, hi Anas,
I finished my first complete auto - installation.
As I am a beginner to Linux I am quite happy about that.
Thanx for that great product!
My problem is:
I got - by now only one - installation client with a 3Com 3C905C-TX network
adapter.
The configuration file i use looks like this:
...
<UNIQUE></UNIQUE>
<device>eth0</device>
<module></module>
<options></options>
...
After finished installation (with correctly configured and working device
eth0) yast2 finds the same card again and wants me to configure it as eth1.
Do You have an advice for me?
Greetings,

Hi all,
I tried to get two disks in on vg, but instead of creating the
vg with the first disk and extending it with the second one,
it tried to create it again with the second one, which gave
an error.
Second it seems to me the installer is a lot happier if it finds
a disk with an empty partition table. It barks everytime I start
the install on an already partitioned disk.
Bye
Felix

Hi all,
I've just looked at lilo.conf which was created by autoinstall. It
seems to me that it cuts off the append-line if it thinks it is
to long.
Is there a limit? If there is one I would have to change the order
of the arguments in the autoinstall-process, that the important
bits get first.
Bye
Felix

hi there,
i am fooling around with autoyast and everything seems to work like a charm.
Right now i have some problems in setting up an isdn-card (elsa microlink pci) via the autoinst-xml-file. regular nic's are no problem but i have no clue how to set up this isdn-card.
any suggestions would be appreciated :-)

This is probably an install/XFree question, but here goes.
I have successfully installed Suse Linux on my machine, and sorta made it
a dual boot machine (I think I need to look up how LILO is supposed to operate
since I can't figure out how you tell it to boot a different operating
system), but
in KDE I don't have a mouse pointer, so its hard to choose anything or get
rid of the clutter. How do I configure that, in console mode, possibly? I
have to finish the
post-installation things.

Just got the Suse 8 Personal box, read through the doc and started it up.
I wanted to shrink my Windows (ME) partition, but the install says my one and
only partition is "unknown" and wants to format the whole thing. I don't
get any other options for this question.
Frankly this is a little too early in the install process to be running into
problems as far as I'm concerned. (I assumed I would have problems with it
recognizing that CD/RW and CD-Rom were the same thing, or something with
the sound, etc.) Any suggestions?

Hi,
I've got my SuSE network install server in place and it's great for
installing SuSE over our network. However, it's not so good with Autoyast
at the moment. I have a few questions which don't seem to be covered
anywhere:
- I have set the Reporting Confirmation option to "true" yet I never get
any confirmation box before installation begins. Is there something I am
doing wrong or is this a bug?
- What happens to options that are not set in the config file? For
example, if I do not specify any partitions in the config file then the
installer seems to just go off and install with whatever partitions it
thinks are appropriate without even consulting the user (remembering that
this is will full prompting and reporting turned on).
>From my point of view at least it would be a lot nicer if the Autoyast
processes dropped you into the installer at the stage where you can choose
options and reconfigure the system as with the manual installation unless
you specifically turn this off with the config file for an unattended
install. At present the Autoyast system is almost completely useless for
my purpose since it just seems to choose some default options for things
that are not specified in the config file.
Can we get this changed in Autoyast pretty quickly? ....or is there
something I'm doing wrong or should know about?
