[opensuse-autoinstall] NFS options for network install
by Geoff.Buckingham＠thomsonreuters.com 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

When giving the following kernel argument in menu.lst for PXE grub they get applied to the nfs mount to fetch the squashfs images, however the later mount for yast to install rpms from NFS server ignores these and takes default options. Is there another way to control this? Some other way to provide nfs options to the install? nfsopts=tcp,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 Default behaviour seems to use very large [r|w]size and udp leading to poor performance and occasional timeout.

[opensuse-autoinstall] Adding own RPMs to 11.4-Installation-DVD
by Daniel Spannbauer 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hello, until now, we created our own Installation-Media with 10.2. We only added the RPMs to the DVD, that are going to be installed. So we kept the DVD-Image small for downloading by our Customers (only 1.2 GB instead of 4 GB). Now, we have to do the same thing with 11.4, but I have problems with the signature. We create a yast-Installation-Source, put the boot-Environment (initrd, kernel etc.) in the right places, add the License-files, add the SuSE-RPMs and our own RPMs to i586, i686, create the xml-File for Autoyast etc. (like we did it with 10.2) MD4SUMS etc. are created automatically. The gpg-Key ist added to the initrd (as described here: http://users.suse.com/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#bB), the new sha1sum of the initrd is put in the content-file and this file is signed with the key that was put into the initrd. So, everything should be fine (I think). But everytime we start the installation, yast complains about an invalid signature of the content-file. When I switch to a console is see, that the key is directly in / of the running system. The installkey.gpg of opensuse is also in that place. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
