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!
Hello,
I'm trying to have autoyast setup some LVM volume groups. I can get
things setup with a single volume group, but if try to add 2 volume
groups I seem to be running into some issue.
I'm using the following xml inside the partitioning section to setup
the PVs and add to the volume groups.
.
.
.
<drive>
<device>/dev/sdb</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<lvm_group>firstvg</lvm_group>
<partition_type>primary</partition_type>
<size>max</size>
</partition>
</partitions>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
<drive>
<device>/dev/sdc</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<lvm_group>secondvg</lvm_group>
<partition_type>primary</partition_type>
<size>max</size>
</partition>
</partitions>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
.
.
.
The problem is that both disks are configured as PVs in the same VG.
Both sdb and sdc will be added to firstvg and secondvg will not exist.
Am I trying this wrong or am I hitting some sort of bug?
thanks

Hi!
We are running in to some problems with our autoyast installs. The
problem is not directly connected to autoyast, but to the kernel
version beeing selected via autoyast.
One of out most important piece of software are having problems with
the newest kernel from Novell, kernel-default-2.6.32.46, and fails to
start. With the previous version of the kernel,
kernel-default-2.6.32.45 everything works as expected.
Since we can not halt installation of new servers until the software
is fixed, we need to automatically choose kernel-default-2.6.32.45
during installation. I have looked through the autoyast documentation
and I can see that I'm able to select a kernel using
<kernel>kernel-default</kernel>
in the software selection.
I have tried to specify the kernel version aswell, but by doing this
autoyast selects a different kernel, for example kernel-ec2.
Is there any way to specify the kernel version?
I tried with:
<kernel>kernel-default-2.6.32.45</kernel> and
<kernel>kernel-default-2.6.32.45-0.3.2.1</kernel>, but with luck..
All help would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Alexander Holte-Davidsen

Uwe,
Is the media.1/media file on the DVD media supposed to be updated with a time
stamp anytime the repository is updated?
If I run a zypper refresh then it only seems to look at the media.1/media file
and then doesn't actually parse the rest of the suse/setup/descr/packages*
files if it's the same number (timestamp) in there.
I had always assumed the media file was something to be left alone since the
create_update script made it.
after changing the timestamp I am now able to run a zypper ref on the
repository and get the updates I dropped in.
Thanks,
