SLES10 - Bootloader configuration
by tobias.mucke＠man-mit.com 02 Aug '06

Hi list, familiar with SuSE autoinstallation environments since ALICE I trying hard right now to implement an AutoYaST environment with SLES10. Understanding that there are some changes compared to AutoYaST delivered with SLES9 I guess the following scenario is a nice starting point. 1. Install a standard system manually 2. Clone this system with AutoYaST (last option before installation is finished) 3. Try to understand the XML configuration step by step 4. Implement AutoYaST environment by rules and classes Right now I have the following problem: Starting with a whole file called autoinst.xml I cut out (without any changes) the bootloader section to copy it into another file called bootloader.xml. This one is included through the rules concept which works fine for other configuration items. If I don't include the bootloader.xml not right at the beginning GRUB is not configured! Man, that was quite hard to find out (first I used classes and met the same failure). I would like to track the problem, so that we come from a very undetailed view "GRUB is not configured, because of XML include failure" to the real technical problem. What can I do to support the development? Thanks a lot. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Tobias Mucke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAN IT Services GmbH Abt.

RE: [suse-autoinstall] CD Creator

I should have mentioned this is SLES 10. -----Original Message----- From: Paul DiSciascio (PJM - UnixSysSupt) [mailto:discip@pjm.com] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 3:45 PM To: suse-autoinstall(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-autoinstall] CD Creator Has anyone had any luck using the CD Creator interface to roll a CD from an autoinst.xml file? I tried it, but what it created is complete junk: lots of files missing. So then I attempted to loop through the pattern files I want to use and just copy all the appropriate rpms onto my CD, but I wind up missing lots of dependencies that way, and sorting through them is taking a long time. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Paul P.S. is there a command-line interface to the CD Creator?
