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
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.

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,
with openSUSE 11.2 you can use "static_text" as type in ask-dialogs. You can
read about it in my blog:

i'm building a Xen DomU using autoyast configuration.
in my config, i've disabled powersaved,
<runlevel>
<default>3</default>
<services config:type="list">
<service>
<service_name>powersaved</service_name>
<service_status>disable</service_status>
</service>
...
</services>
</runlevel>
the DomU installs, but i note @2nd boot of the DomU,
Configuring System according to auto-install settings
Error
Failed services: powersaved.
it seems powersaved is trying to start ...
how do i _correctly_ disable powersaved so as not to get the error?
thanks.

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.
Thanks,
Jochen

Hi,
Just for your information. Autoyast in 11.2 will have SLP support.
You can read more about that in my blog:
