linuxrc - netdevice=<hwaddress>
by John Willis 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

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!

[opensuse-autoinstall] Classes do not work in 11.1 autoyast installation
by mwani＠fkf.mpg.de 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] opensuse 11.1 autoyast postinstall script and autofs
by Pierre Girard 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

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 service nfs start service autofs start service cups start DIST=/home/install cp $DIST/xerox/xrx4500dt.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/Xerox cp $DIST/xerox/xrx4500dx.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/Xerox ]]></source> </script> Thanks for your help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] 11.1 and netconfig policy
by Andreas Vetter 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] pattern deselection
by Oliver Schweikert 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

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.

[opensuse-autoinstall] ayast_setup.ycp
by Jochen Schaefer 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi Uwe, is ayast_setup.ycp supported for SLES10 also? I didn't find it in any autoyast package. I used it for a bond configuration and it worked very well but customer is interested on the support state.
