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 try to install sles 11 via autoyast. I did an installation from dvd,
and pulled an autoyast profile. This profile works, and can be installed
via pxe.
Now I want to add the following packages:
findutils-locate, dhcp-server, bind, apache2, vsftpd, nfs-kernel-server
I do this via the gui. I have also tried to do it with an editor, as the
gui messed up profiles in sles10sp2.
In both cases, after the first reboot, I get the errormessage:
"The package resolver run failed. Please check your software section in
the aut" [oyast profile] (last part invisible, I guess it should be the
software section in my autoyast profile :-))
This a real problem, as I have to confirm this message, thus it stops
the autoinstall process.
After confirming, the autoinstall process continues. Right bevor I can
log in, I get
"Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority"
I confirm, and get:
"There is a problem with the configuration server.
(/usr/lib/GConf/2/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)"
I confirm, and can log in. Theses messages are presistend after reboot.
Its annoying, but not a stopper like the first problem.
Why is this? Can I avoid this?

Hello,
I would like to have the following feature:
on the server I have some templates("rules")
for different partitioning,software etc.
But I like the user who installs the system
to select these rules (instead of the automatic
matching)
During Autoyast, before the installation starts,
a window should appear which shows all rules
by Name and the user then
clicks the rulenames which he wants to
be applied to the autoyast.xml file.
I know that there are "rules/classes" already
and its possible to add <ask> dialogs
during autoinstall.
But I think its not possible to merge
rules with an ask statement.
regards,
Martin

This is another test that i'm doing, i'd like to use this feature:
<software>
<image>
<script_location>http://10.10.0.162/image.sh</script_location>
<run_kickoff config:type="boolean">true</run_kickoff>
</image>
</software>
http://ugansert.blogspot.com/2009/03/imagine-autoyast.html
But i'd like to store both the script and the image that will be used
in the installation on the media DVD, the script_location tag may have
device://<cdrom_device>/image.sh parameter??
How do i identify what's my dvdrom drive inside these scripts?
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

Hi
I'm having a problem with hardware raid and autoyast.
First some background, I have the following setup:
* HP ProLiant DL380
* SLES11 autoinstaller - all in one DVD
* HP HW raid controller to set up hardware raid 5 on the system.
* The software to set up hardware raid is put into the initrd of the SLES
DVD
A precondition is to be able to install without network and to bundle
everything in one install DVD.
The autoyast installer launches a pre-install script that sets up the
hardware Raid.
Now the actual problem:
The data in /dev/disk/by-id is read and memorized by yast before raid is
set up. After the raid setup script has completed all values have changed
in /dev/disk/by-id. This causes the installer to crash when it later tries
to set up Grub. Yast inserts the incorrect values it remembers into
/boot/grub/device.map.
The installer crashes with this error in y2log_bootloader:
grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0) (hd0,0)
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
grub> quit
Is it possible to make the yast bootloader re-read the values from
/dev/disk/by-id before setting up grub? I tried to simply override the
values in the files it touches in a chroot script, but yast simply removes
my changes and creates a new incorrect file in its place.
I have also tried to add the raid script to /etc/init.d/ inside initrd of
the SLES installer, but I can't link it like I would on debian. Googling
this I found that I need to run 'insserv' but I can't chroot into the
initrd in any way to do this. I'm not even sure running it in a runlevel
really early would be enough, but this is an option I have not been able
to test fully, so some pointers or a link on where I can find info on
setting up init-scripts in suse without insserv would be greatly
appreciated.
Warm regards,
Tomas
Ps.
Thanks Uwe for solving the issue '[opensuse-autoinstall] Rule based
auto-installation without network' for me

Hi,
Using 11.2 M4 for repository
Using "smallest autoyast profile that makes sense"
Using 11.2 M4 files to build boot disk
"An error occurred during initrd creation."
What do I do now?

Hi,
What is the syntax in autoinst.xml to install ALL packages of the media
(sles10 and sles11). In RedHat Linux "@Everything" directive in ks.cfg does
this job. Is there something similar available?
Thanks,
Ajay
