Hello,
I have a pair of questions about the package database creation process
(performed by create_package_descr script):
1. Can be used the same script for all SuSE versions (SuSE 8.1, SuSE 8.2 and
SuSE 9.0) or each version have its own script file (in the autoyas2 package
that comes with the version)?
2. Is create_package_descr a stand-alone program? (It seems that it uses the
file /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV)
Thanks in advance!

Dear list,
we have some machines that require a vendor supplied kernel module for their RAID controller.
How could we integrate such a module into an autoyast installation?
P.S.: Bear with me if this has been asked before, but I was not able to find any _searchable_ archive of this list.

My created ISO image does only contain the k_deflt, k_athlon and k_smp
kernels. Where is the k_smp4G kernel? Is this a bug in the autoinstall
iso creation?
I created a patched source tree;the description files look good and
properly includes the k_smp4G kernel. It just doesn't get added to the
ISO.
During install YaST complains about not finding the k_smp4G kernel on
the cd... Install works perfectly fine on systems not using the k_smp4G
kernel.
Any work-around for this? Or tips...
Thanks,
Magnus
Hi List,
since we build our custom-CD's (SLES8) with SP3, there will be no kernel installed by autoyast. As a result, all modules are missing, and /boot is almost empty, no boot-image or initrd in there. So the network interfaces don't work and the reboot fails because of the missing vmlinuz.
We use a machine with two processors and therefore we need an smp-kernel installed which worked fine BEFORE we put the SP3-Packages into the repository. The needed kernel was detected and installed automatically.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Martin Möser

Hi,
since my notebook's CD-ROM drive is dying slowly I tried to install SuSE
Linux 9.0 Prof. from my existing PXE/DHCP/TFTP server which already has
working configs for 8.0 and 8.2:
label 8.0
kernel kernel-8.0
append initrd=initrd-8.0 acpi=off apm=off
install="nfs://192.168.20.1/pub/suse/SuSE-8.0"
label 8.2
kernel kernel-8.2
append initrd=initrd-8.2 acpi=off apm=off
install="nfs://192.168.20.1/pub/suse/SuSE-8.2"
As usual, copied boot/loader/linux and boot/loader/initrd to /tftpboot and
added a config entry to pxelinux.cfg/default:
label 9.0
kernel kernel-9.0
append initrd=initrd-9.0 ramdisk_size=65536 showopts ide=nodma acpi=off
apm=off install="nfs://192.168.20.1/pub/suse/SuSE-9.0"
which, apart from some additional options taken from the CD isolinux.cfg
file, are identical to the ones above. The additional options don't change
any of the descibed behaviour, which is:
- notebook boots via pxelinux just fine, I get my text menu, enter 9.0
- kernel unpacks, and ...
- the screen is an 80x25 chaos of ASCII characters with various attributes,
like blink, etc. Machine stops. Nothing happens. It looks as if the
kernel was unpacked into the EGA video memory region at segment b800.
Any clue what happens?
Mit freundlichen Gruessen - Best regards

Hi,
I'm running Suse 9 professional on a Pentium.
When I login as root yast works fine.
But when I login as me and try ...
xhost +
GreenButton / system / yast
Get password popup for command: /sbin/yast2; enter password
Nothing happens. Yast2 never starts. Meanwhile /var/log/messages shows:
Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: (to root) sullivan on /dev/pts/4
Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: pam_unix2: session started for user root, service su
Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: pam_unix2: session finished for user root, service su
Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: (to root) sullivan on /dev/pts/4
Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: pam_unix2: session started for user root, service su
Dec 30 09:49:03 helix su: pam_unix2: session finished for user root, service su
Why can't I start yast2 this way?
Many thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I discovered that Suse named wireless NIC wlanX instead ethX. This it's ok
but the problem is that DSL YAST module doesn't give me the possibility to
use wireless NIC to connect DSL modem. With Any other distributions is
possible to use wireless PCMCIA because any NIC PCMCIA is named ethX
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Andrea
