Hello,
is there really no way to have the ethernet adapter detected automatically
so that there will be the entry for my ethernet interface in
/etc/modules.conf again? Since I create my CD according to Anas
instruction it won't be inserted automatically.
Thank you for you help.
Regards Manuel

[suse-autoinstall] Antwort: Re: [suse-autoinstall] autoinst.xml on
self-made cd
Hello Anas
Thank you so much for this hint! It really works if you follow all your
instruction below step by step. There are a couple of things that changed
if I compare it with the installation from my repository-server.
1. at the stage when the license agreement is displayed, there is a 10
second countdown and after this the installation starts. How can I disable
this timer so you really have to press enter to continue?
2. no module will be loaded for the network interface(s) because there is
no entry in /etc/modules.conf for eth0. If I install the server from my
repository-server the ethernet interface eth0 will be discovered
automatically and I've got an alias set for my eth0 in /etc/modules.conf.
Is there a way, I can detect all ethernet interfaces and insert them all
in /etc/modules.conf even I install my server from the cd as described by
Anas below?
Thank you for your answer.
Regards Manuel

Re: [suse-autoinstall] autoinst.xml on self-made cd
Hi,
I have just tried reproducing this, and it works for me as expected.
- unpack ISO/CD of SLES8 into a directory /tmp/SLES
- unpack ISO/CD of SP3 into a directory /tmp/SP3
- cp /tmp/SP3/driverupdate /tmp/SLES
- cp /tmp/SP3/boot/loader/linux /tmp/SLES/boot/loader
- cp /tmp/SP3/boot/loader/initrd /tmp/SLES/boot/loader
- Edit /tmp/SLES/boot/loader/isolinux.cfg and add
autoyast=default instmode=cd
- Copy autoinst.xml into /tmp/SLES
Create ISO image
Boot and it works.
