Probleme mit der swap Partition bei ftp Installation
by Max Ferstl 19 Jan '03

19 Jan '03

Hi, also, ich hatte eigentlich vor auf meiner alten Kiste P100 80Mb Ram Suse 8.1 über ftp draufzuspielen. Da die Kiste kein Cdrom hat, hab ich mir die Bootdisks kopiert und mal loßgelegt. Das hat soweit auch alles ganz gut geklappt. Die Kiste hat dann die 41Mb vom Server gezogen, und meinte dann, ich sollte doch eine Swap Partition angeben, weil er nichtmehr genügend Speicher hätte. Naja, abgebrochen, und dann ins Rescue System. Dort hab ich mir dann mit fdisk ne Linux Swap Partition angelegt. Also nochmals gebootet, und das ganze nochmals von vorne. Als ich dann /dev/hda1 als Swap Partition eingegeben hatte, hat das Tool nur nen Fehler gemeldet, und hat scheinbar da keine Swap Partition gefunden. Naja, hab ich mir gedacht, googelst du mal. Da hab ich dann in dieser Liste den gleichen Fehler gefunden, jedoch für eine andere Version. Dort stand 128M Swap Partition anlegen, und dann loß. Alles klar. Partition angelegt, zur Sicherheit noch mal ne 100Mb Swap und ne 200Mb Swap auf der zweiten Platte und dann alles nochmals von vorne. Naja, und das hat immernochnicht geklappt. Er konnte die die Swap Partition immernochnicht lesen. Hat jemand eine Idee was ich falsch gemacht hab? -- Maximilian Ferstl

keymap setting ignored
by Michal Kubecek 17 Jan '03

17 Jan '03

I am using YaST autoinstall for SuSE 8.1. I need to set language to "Czech" but keyboard map to "English (US)". The resulting profile contains <keymap>english-us</keymap> However, this is ignored and installation main screen starts with keymap set to czech. I have to change it manually. Is there a way to use keyboard map different from the language? Michal Kubecek

Partitioning Problem: please HELP!!!
by Urs Haberthuer 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Dear All, I read all mails concerning partitioning but none answers my problem. I have a single Linux client with one harddisk. The disk has 4 primary partitions: /boot on /dev/hda1, swap on /dev/hda2, / on /dev/hda3 and /home on /dev/hda4. I would like to install SuSE 8.1 with autoyast2 and WITHOUT recreating partitions. I would like to format /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda3 WITHOUT deleting them and WITHOUT giving the size or location in sectors. I don't know the sizes of these partitions, nor the sectors where thay are. I simply would like to tell autoyast2 to format /dev/hda1 and mount it as /boot etc. It could be done easily in autoyast1. Is it possible to do in autoyast2? If yes, HOW??? Two other questions: What exaclty is the difference between <reuse>1,2,3</reuse> and <use>1,2,3</use>? What does <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr> mean and cause autoyast2 to do? Any help is greatly appreciated! -- Urs Haberthuer

SuSE8.1 SCSI issues.
by Egan Ford 13 Jan '03

13 Jan '03

I have yet to successfully install SuSE8.1 using Autoyast. I have tested 3 different machines. One with aic7xxx, another with IBM ServeRAID, and a 3rd with aic7xxx as the OS drive and qla2200 for other filesystems. All 3 systems install, but after the initial reboot, none boot. They all fail with different errors, but they look related to SCSI resets failing on the ips.o, aic7xxx.o, and qla2200.o modules. BTW, all three systems work great with SLES8. Anyone else experience this?

login after installation
by Reimar Bauer 11 Jan '03

11 Jan '03

Dear all, we have created an infofile and successfully installed some computers. So the only problem I have at the moment is that I don't have the normal login manager from kde. I speak from the one which has a shudown button. The one we have has only the possibility to login. Where can I switch to the right login manager. And why is this setting not copied to the infofile. regrads Reimar -- Forschungszentrum Juelich email: R.Bauer(a)fz-juelich.de http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/ ================================================================== a IDL library at ForschungsZentrum Juelich http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_lib_intro.html

Problems when Setting a NFS server for install
by Andre Belem 11 Jan '03

11 Jan '03

Hi suse friends, I'm just starting the "A-B-C-howto" settup a NFS server and configure the autoinstall for a small cluster, but I'm having problems during the NFS setup. Everything works fine: I can mount NFS the directory with the SuSE 8.1 installation (mirrored from a SuSE mirror), the disks work, the machine is fine but... in the Installation Settings I get the error: Software: - no base selection available. ERROR: no proposal Booting: - No boot loader selected to be installed..bla bla bla I can imagine that it is something stupid (some info file or description missing) but I can't find what/where. Any idea about this error ??? Thanks in advance for ANY help. André _______________________________________________________________________ Busca Yahoo!

by Christian Peter 11 Jan '03

Problem with creating ISO image

Hi, I have a strange problem when trying to create a custom ISO image with autoyast on SuSE 8.1.

After adding a source, please make sure to enable it. --- But the correct source is there, installing software also works with this source!
