Does anyone know if any of the SLES releases 9 or 10 support passing the
linuxrc option netdevice=<hardware mac address> ?
I noticed Red Hat has had this for sometime and it seems totally missing
in SuSE which seems really odd.
I'm still scratching my head if we really are still passing only by
kernel interface name.
I read in the change log for linuxrc-1.8.6-3 a change that "sounds" like
this feature.
* Mon Mar 14 2005 - snwint(a)suse.de
- s390: fix segfault in net_list_s390_devs()
- extra root image was sometimes not used
- allow netdevices to be specified by hwaddress
But it looks like linuxrc-1.8.6-3 is only available in SuSE Professional
9.3.
"any" commentary would be sincerely appreciated
the feature also seems to be fairly minor since any delimiter seperating
the octets in the hwaddr string could be used to identify the difference
between an interface name and interface hw address
if i could figure out a generic method of overriding the linuxrc with a
custom script and daisy chain it back into linuxrc after setting up the
interface name, I would.. and have a slight idea on how to do that.. but
i'd rather find out i'm just missing something and the feature is
already there
Thanks!
Hi,
I want to use classes in my autoyast installation. With the 'autoyast'
parameter
I'm loading the xml-file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE profile>
<profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns"
xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns">
<classes config:type="list">
<class>
<class_name>default</class_name>
<configuration>software.xml</configuration>
</class>
<class>
<class_name>laptop</class_name>
<configuration>partitions.xml</configuration>
</class>
</classes>
</profile>
I'm booting the client via PXE boot.
I can see in the log file of the http server, that the client
fetches the xml file. But in contrast the client does not even try
to load the class files. I can not see an obvious error in the y2log file.
With 10.3 that procedure worked that way. With 11.1 it has broken for me.
Any hints are appreciated.
thanks,
Michael Wanitschek

Hello,
I had a postinstall script that worked under 11.0 but doesn't with
11.1. It doesn't do anything complicated but it uses autofs to copy some
files from a server and nfs doesn't seem to be started at the time the
script runs even though I try to start it from the script.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I activated the feedback and I can see this message:
not starting NFS client services - no NFS found in /etc/fstab: unused
Here's part of the script from the autoyast:
<script>
<debug config:type="boolean">true</debug>
<feedback config:type="boolean">true</feedback>
<filename>postinstall1</filename>
<interpreter>shell</interpreter>
<location></location>
<network_needed config:type="boolean">true</network_needed>
<source><![CDATA[#!/bin/bash
chkconfig xinetd on
chkconfig rsh on
service xinetd start
service portmap start
service ypbind start

</script>
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
is it possible to set the netconfig policy stuff in autoyast for 11.1?
My workaround would be to set the /etc/sysconfig values.

Hi all,
when i deselect a pattern in yast2 (SLES10-SP2), all its packages get
marked as "auto-delete". If a package has any dependencies to other
packages it gets not removed, which seems reasonable. But it seems that
also a dependency to another "auto-delete" packages prevents it from
being deleted.
Is this a correct behaviour?
You can test it, by installing and removing the "print_server" pattern
of SLES 10. After deinstallation, the packages "cups" and
"foomatic-filter" remain.
Best regards,
Oliver

Hi again!
I have another question:
Is it possible to have own repositories without MD5 and SHA1
sums in setup/descr and the content file?
I tried to use all of the following options, especially the
first:
<signature-handling>
<accept_unsigned_file config:type="boolean">true</accept_unsigned_file>
<accept_file_without_checksum
config:type="boolean">true</accept_file_without_checksum>
<accept_verification_failed
config:type="boolean">true</accept_verification_failed>
<accept_unknown_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</accept_unknown_gpg_key>
<import_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</import_gpg_key>
</signature-handling>
But my own repository has not been included without all those checksums,
one has to update after every little change, e.g. in a pattern file.
Adding them in the MD5SUMS and content file, everything works fine,
using the repository I created for openSUSE 11.0 with the graphical
Tool given for that purpose and correcting some little bugs of the result
manually.
So, is it possible without checksums as in the good old days of SuSE 10.1?
Thanks in advance,

Hi all!
I have the following questions concerning openSUSE 11.1 autoinstall
and KDE. Maybe they are trivial. For me they are not. So perhaps
someone could help me with that:
Which patterns do I (not) have to choose for an autoyast installation completely
WITHOUT KDE 4.1?
In the manual installation process one has to choose at the very beginning if
it should be an KDE 3 or 4 installation. Is this possible with autoyast as
well? Trying that I always got both KDE versions in the end.
The following could be an interesting alternative:
(How) Is it possible to have the KDE 4.2 repository integrated into the
autoyast installation, so that 4.1 is replaced by 4.2.
I tried to integrate the repository, but anyway, 4.1 rpms have been installed
and not the rpms of 4.2. Although the 4.2 packets are available
in the (auto)Yast software section, so the repository has been included.
Thanks in advance,

thanx for the feedback, I have updated the blog post.

Hi Guys
Solved one problem but got another in return.
add_on_products section now works but it throws up the following error:
The package resolver run failed. Please check your software section in the autoyast profile.
All the add_on_products are, is a list of repositories, see earlier post.
Any suggestion?
