Error -> Could not set base selection: default

I've been working on this all day and it's driving me crazy. I'm trying to run a PXE install and it gets to the point of parsing the xml file and then throws this error up when it gets to software configuration. I used yast2 instserver and yast2 autoyast to generate the install source and have been modifying the info file that I've placed in the initrd for different attempts. Here is my autoinst.xml > big-daddy:/tftpboot # more /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/autoinst.xml > <?xml version="1.0"?> > <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> > <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" > xmlns:config="http://www.suse.c > om/1.0/configns"> > <configure> > <networking> > <dns> > <dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_hostname> > <dhcp_resolv config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_resolv> > </dns> > <interfaces config:type="list"> > <interface> > <bootproto>dhcp</bootproto> > <device>eth0</device> > <startmode>onboot</startmode> > </interface> > </interfaces> > <modules config:type="list"> > <module_entry> > <device>eth0</device> > <module>bcm5700</module> > <options></options> > </module_entry> > </modules> > <routing> > <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward> > </routing> > </networking> > <online_update> > <autoget config:type="boolean">false</autoget> > <enable_autoupdate config:type="boolean">false</enable_autoupdate> > <update_time> > <hour config:type="integer">-1</hour> > <minute config:type="integer">-1</minute> > </update_time> > </online_update> > <runlevel> > <default>3</default> > </runlevel> > </configure> > <install> > <bootloader> > <activate config:type="boolean">false</activate> > <global config:type="list"/> > <loader_device></loader_device> > <loader_type>grub</loader_type> > <location>mbr</location> > <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">false</repl_mbr> > <sections config:type="list"/> > </bootloader> > <general> > <clock> > <hwclock>localtime</hwclock> > <timezone>US/Eastern</timezone> > </clock> > <keyboard> > <keymap>english-us</keymap> > </keyboard> > <language>en_US</language> > <mode> > <confirm config:type="boolean">true</confirm> > <forceboot config:type="boolean">false</forceboot> > </mode> > <mouse> > <id>ignore</id> > </mouse> > </general> > <partitioning config:type="list"> > <drive> > <device>/dev/sda</device> > <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> > <partitions config:type="list"> > <partition> > <crypt>twofish256</crypt> > <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> > <format config:type="boolean">true</format> > <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> > <mount>/boot</mount> > <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> > <partition_type>primary</partition_type> > <size>auto</size> > </partition> > <partition> > <crypt>twofish256</crypt> > <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> > <format config:type="boolean">true</format> > <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> > <mount>swap</mount> > <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> > <partition_type>primary</partition_type> > <size>auto</size> > </partition> > <partition> > <crypt>twofish256</crypt> > <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> > <format config:type="boolean">true</format> > <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> > <mount>/</mount> > <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> > <partition_type>primary</partition_type> > <size>max</size> > </partition> > </partitions> > <use>all</use> > </drive> > </partitioning> > <software> > <addons config:type="list"> > <addon>Base-System</addon> > <addon>Basis-Sound</addon> > <addon>Kde-Desktop</addon> > <addon>Linux-Tools</addon> > <addon>Print-Server</addon> > <addon>SuSE-Documentation</addon> > <addon>X11</addon> > <addon>YaST2</addon> > <addon>auth</addon> > </addons> > <base>default</base> > </software> > </install> > </profile> info file: > big-daddy:/tftpboot # more > /root/tempinitrd/info > Netdevice: eth0 > Server: 192.168.0.104 > Serverdir: nfs://192.168.0.104/home/SLES9/x86 > AutoYaST: file:///autoinst.xml > Install: nfs://192.168.0.104/home/SLES9/x86 > Textmode: 1 linuxrc.config: > big-daddy:/tftpboot # more /root/tempinitrd/linuxrc.config > KernelPCMCIA: 1 > UseUSBSCSI: 1 > Product: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 > UpdateDir: /linux/suse/i386-sles9 > MemLoadImage: 163840 > MinMemory: 256 > MemYaST: 64000 > MemYaSTText: 64000 If anyone has any ideas, please let me know...

The documentation is wrong. I've just asked Uwe Gransert from SuSE and he told me that <runlevel> is the correct tag. BTW, the autoyast also writes the <runlevel> tag into the xml-file.
