Not really, because lvm stores it data in the vgda which is located on the pvs not in the mbr. To delete these you have to execute dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hd*, but this could take a long time depending on space of the harddisk.

error .. packages not available during iso creation
by Richard Bos 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

in the process of creating an iso image, autoyast checks the package availality, in my case this check fails. That's probably due to an incorrect repository setup. Can someone enlighten me, what the correct setup should be. The error message I get is "498 packages not available". I just choose a "default" system, no other pkgs have been added. I now have: ....suse82/base/suse/setup/descr/packages ....suse82/base/suse/i586/ ....suse82/base/suse/i686/ ....suse82/base/suse/noarch/ ....suse82/base/suse/src/ Should this be okay (that's how I mirrored it from the ftp server)? (I used the packages database as is (the mirrored one)). I tried the following setup as well: ....suse82/base/setup/descr/packages ....suse82/base/suse/i586/ ....suse82/base/suse/i686/ ....suse82/base/suse/noarch/ ....suse82/base/suse/src/ here I used a package database created by create_...._...._packages I'm still getting the ".. packages not available" (it's in iso.ycp). Should I try: ....suse82/base/suse/setup/descr/packages ....suse82/base/suse/<all pkgs> I hope someone can give a push in the back to get me on speed. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Hi, we have the same problem here with SLES8. Our Workaround is to have an additional autoyast-config without LVM, so we wipe out any lvm information on the disks, before we install the server. Of course it would be nicer, if this bug would be solved ;-) Kind regards Andreas Rother UNIX-Systemadministration -- Andreas Rother - E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH & Co.

Help on Apache2 and PHP4 in SuSE Pro 8.2
by Anders Norrbring 10 Jun '03

10 Jun '03

Hi everybody! I'm trying to install Apache2 together with PHP4 and phpMyAdmin on my new SuSE Pro 8.2 server, but so far - no luck.. I use the standard installation options in Yast2 when I do a absolute fresh install on the computer and I've got the "Auto check dependencies" on. So, I thought all was well after marking up Apache2, PHP4 and phpMyAdmin and correlating modules as suggested by Yast2. But no... The server doesn't even understand that PHP4 is installed after what it seems to me, if I try to access a .php page, it insists on sending me the page as a download file instead of interpreting it and sending the output. Does anyone know the reason/solution to this, or is it a clear case of calling support? Later, Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

In regards to my earlier problem - The yast system backup function appears to lock up if the drive does not have room to write the backup. Perhaps an added line in the scripts to monitor disk availability and pop up a "gotta abort - not enough room" message? Jonathon M.

Platform Questions
by Volker.Wiegand＠t-online.de 10 Jun '03

10 Jun '03

Hi, I have two questions, maybe I can get some help here :-) 1.) Can I use AutoYaST for z/Linux in the same way as for Intel? 2.) Assuming I want to target SLES8 z/Linux production servers, can I use an 8.2 Pro as the development / repository server? What would I have to observe? Kind regards Volker Wiegand

Problems with reporting
by Stefan Weigel 10 Jun '03

10 Jun '03

Hi! I have one problem left within my autoinstallation process. When all RPM's are installed, lilo is written into the bootsector. After that a message pops up with "Sucessfully written into Bootsector [..]". The pop up needs to be confirmed with a click on the OK button. That's strange to me. I've read about the default should be show all errors/warnings/messages with a timeout of 10 seconds even if I don't have a <report> section in my autoinst.xml. I've also made a <report> section (see below) but without any postive result. So, can anybody give me a hint about this prob ? Btw.: I am using the latest autoyast packages with the latest update image (y2update.gz) on floppy. Part of my autoinst.xml: [..] <install> <bootloader> <activate config:type="boolean">false</activate> <initrd_modules config:type="list"> <listentry>DAC960</listentry> <listentry>lvm-mod</listentry> <listentry>ext3</listentry> </initrd_modules> <lba_support config:type="boolean">true</lba_support> <linear config:type="boolean">false</linear> <location>mbr</location> </bootloader> <report> <messages> <show>true</show> <timeout>5</timeout> <log>true</log> </messages> <errors> <show>true</show> <timeout>5</timeout> <log>true</log> </errors> <warnings> <show>true</show> <timeout>5</timeout> <log>true</log> </warnings> </report> [..] Best regards Stefan -- __________________________________________ stefan weigel administration global linxs gmbh knowledge interaction romanstrasse 16 80639 munich - germany www.global-linxs.com tel.: +49(0)89. 189 336- 61 fax.: +49(0)89. 189 336- 99 email: sw(a)global-linxs.com __________________________________________
