Hi,
I noticed the possibility to create crypted file system and wanted
to give it a try on one of my data partition. I checked crypt checkbox
for one of ext3 partitions, entered password two times and noticed
that crypting information was even written correctly into XML-file,
but Ifter installing I can't find any visible sign of crypted file
system. Nothing different in fstab/mount. Do I search signs
from wrong places or crypting really doesn't have to work this
time?

Hi..
We have an bootable custum CD now wich asks for wich Installation should be
done and after some time it boots from harddisk.
This stands in our isolinux.cfg
################## isolinux.cfg ###########
default harddisk
# tokenring mit IDE Platte
label tokenringide
kernel linux
append vga=normal initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536 install=cdrom:// autoyast=file://tokenringide.xml
display sample.msg
# tokenring mit SCSI Platte
label tokenringscsi
kernel linux
append vga=normal initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536 install=cdrom:// autoyast=file://tokenringscsi.xml
display sample.msg
# hard disk
label harddisk
kernel linux
append SLX=0x202
implicit 0
prompt 1
timeout 100
########### ende ############
And in the sample.msg we describe the bootoptions.
The *.xml files are at the root from the CD.
Hope this helps.

Hi again!
After installing quite a few Pentium based machines with SuSE 8.0 and
AutoYaST I tried to get it running on an Athlon system. Unfortunately
the installation stops after packages are installed with a nice green
box complaining about "clients/inst_finish.ycp not found".
I had a look at this and I found that for some reason the mounted
cramfs was empty (all files gone). Anyone having similar problems?
After this I upgraded to latest yast2-module-autoinst - no improvements,
instead YaST2 now asks me wether it should start the installation ...
so I went back to the original one ...
I also tried the "mem=nopentium" option - without success.
Can this really be a Athlon specific problem? Or does anyone have a
different idea?
Ciao,
Marcel

Hi All
I have some questions to autoyast2, perhaps there is one on this list, who could
help me.
I want to install linux on several different systems.
How could i solve the following problem:
1.) There a differnce between IDE and SCSI, ist it possible to have one
controlfile, that handles both plattforms (fdsik, fromat, lilo, and so on)?
2.) There are also different NIC's on this system. I defined no module in the
controlfile and it will work , but after installation every user will be ask to
install an new NIC, thats allready installed
<interfaces config:type="list" >
<interface>
<BOOTPROTO>dhcp</BOOTPROTO>
<STARTMODE>onboot</STARTMODE>
<UNIQUE></UNIQUE>
<device>eth0</device>
<module></module>
<options></options>
</interface>
</interfaces>
3.) Is there a way to autoprobe the graphical interface ( hardewareinterface and
resolution)?
4.) After installing by using autoyast2 i get the KDM-Login frist time,
secondtime i get the consolen-Login
5.) When i try to install an extented package-list i allways get a failure about
some packages, that was not found - Is there a solution for this Problem?
<software>
<addons config:type="list" />
<base>my-list</base>
</software>
the list 'my-list' is in the same directory as the default one
6.) Is there a way to include an automatic sound autoprobe by installing and
only there is a problem the user could change it manually after installation?
Thanks for help!
bye

*************************************************
And once more problems!
I tried the new yast2-module-autoinst packages (both 2.5.26 and 2.5.27rc1)
with the result that YaST is no longer AutoYaST:
Now on every start it asks me wether it should start the automated
installation and waits for me to press "OK". And in the same display box
it claims that all necessary configuration data is available. So what is
this about? The version taken from CD/DVD works fine without any user
interaction, but as soon as I switch to newer versions everything is a
mess.
Another possibility could be a buggy XML file (though it works with older
versions). I checked the documentation coming with the latest release and
it suggests to use the program tidy to check the XML syntax. But this one
seems to need a .dtd file (/usr/lib/YaST2/include/control-file.dtd) which
I couldn't find.
So once again - anyone out there knowing how to prevent this missbehaviour
or where to find the .dtd file?
TIA,
Marcel

Hi.
I'm new to autoinstall. I'm using AutoYast1 for now. I've made
a boot floppy for nfs installs, but linuxrc can't find the infofile.
I have it on the bootdisk as /suse/setup/descr/info. Linuxrc starts,
I get a screen in color saying "Searching for Infofile". After 3 seconds
I get a mono screen saying "Can't open cdrom".
I tried copying it to the root directory as well.
Is this a permissions issue, or should the file be renamed?

Hi,
is there any tool to create an own CD with only needed packages?
I want to create one bootable CD for autoinstallation with a minmal system and
a few extra packages from CD two, three and four. I don't like to wait until
SuSE8.1 is published. ;-)
Thanks for help
Chris
