RE: [suse-autoinstall] Creating post script with user interaction

Hi Pierre You could redirect the out or input to another concole. I did it with the command "chvt TERMINAL" (for example: chvt 11 <-- it is free during the installation) Maybe that does help. steff -----Original Message----- From: Pierre Allix [mailto:pierre.allix@idealx.com] Sent: Montag, 10.

NFS is slow, and FTP doesn't work
by Suffin, Charles 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi folks, I thought I'd ask for suggestions / comments about my recent experiments. I implemented an installation server for my organization using an SLES9 box (with SLES9 as the target installation). The server is up and running using HTTP (which works great), but I tried all other sources first and I had these problems... 1. I was unable to get FTP to work as an installation source. Target machines got a red box in yast complaining about "passive mode." I'm sure this is my ignorance in FTP, but I did try a few things and was unable to get it to work. Any thoughts? 2. I was unable to use TFTP as a source. I think this is actual limitations on the TFTP protocol, but I'm not positive. 3. NFS worked, *but* performance was abysmal. I did the testing on a private network, and I find that the apache2 server install is *very* fast on that configuration, but NFS is surprisingly slow -- slower (I think) than CD-ROM. Any thoughts? Best wishes. -- Charlie ----- A. Charles Suffin Senior Software Engineer Stratus Technologies, Inc. 111 Powdermill Road Maynard, MA 01754-3409 US (978)461-7590

RE: [suse-autoinstall] AutoYaST-Problem after first reboot
by Suffin, Charles 11 Jan '05

That's great, Andreas, but you are specifying a "minimal" install, so perhaps you shouldn't be doing anything with graphics in the first place. If you actually want graphics, you should change this to the default or full install (I think). <base>Minimal</base> <kernel>kernel-default</kernel> What happens if you leave out the entire X11 section in the XML file when you do a minimal install? -- Charlie -----Original Message----- From: rab2003(a)web.de [mailto:rab2003@web.de] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 7:53 AM To: suse-autoinstall(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-autoinstall] AutoYaST-Problem after first reboot Hi, Problem is fixed!

The services section of the xml has been broken for some time. I don't know whether there is a patch which fixes it. I got around this by supplying the following in the configure block of my xml. As the comment suggests, I've left the services block in in the hope that one day this problem will be fixed: <scripts> <post-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <filename>services.sh</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/sh # disable services # the services block in this XML file is ignored by autoyast for SRV in isdn nfsboot nfslock nfs slpd smbfs splash splash_early splash_late xdm do chkconfig --del $SRV done ]]></source> </script> </post-scripts> </scripts> -----Original Message----- From: Ulrich Bernhard [mailto:ulrich.bernhard@id.unizh.ch] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 7:48 AM To: suse-autoinstall(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-autoinstall] autoyast runlevel editor and SuSE 9.2 I would like to activate and deactivate some services during autoinstall.

AutoYaST-Problem after first reboot
by rab2003＠web.de 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi, I try it in english, hope its ok :-) I have a problem with my AutoYaST-Installation. After the first reboot yast ist starting and everything work fine. After the post-install-script (the last step) yast is starting with "Yast Initialisierung". In the upper right corner of the screen appears the "S" an after a CR on the next line "aX>" appears (the word "SaX>" is written over the blue screen of yast). At this point the installation the stops. I've tried to type "exit" and after 2 times typing "exit" and pressing ESC the installation is going on with the next step "Bildschirmeinstellungen". The rest of the autoinstallation is working and after 1 minute I have a login-prompt. How can I fix the problem with sax? I have tried to add some parameters to the control-file, but it doesn't work ( Section <X11>). ------------ bootparameter: autoyast=nfs://<IP-ADDRESS>/autoyast/autoinst.xml

Disable auto reboot after initial installation?
by Huan Long Wang 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi there, I'm wondering how to disable auto reboot after the initial phase of installation is completed. In chapter 4 of the docs it states: "Change starting from SUSE Linux 9.1/SLES9 The reboot property in the mode resource was used to force a reboot after initial system setup and before the system is rebooted for the first time. Currently after initial installation all systems must reboot, which makes this option obsolete." So are there any methods to turn off the auto reboot? I tried to enable the "interactive_boot" as well as "confirm" options in the yast xml config file but seems it can't prevent automatic rebooting. Any hints? Thanks in advance! Best Regards,
