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,
here's the problems I ran into. They all seem to be related to
systemd, but I did not want to hijack the other thread, although this
one might solve the other problem, too.
1. The final kexec/reboot is not executed. Both
<final_reboot config:type="boolean">false</final_reboot>,
meaning kexec will be used, and
<final_reboot config:type="boolean">true</final_reboot>
have no effect at all[0]. This also means that...
2. Init-Services (<runlevel>) defined in autoyast are not
started/stopped, so, f.e., no ssh keys are generated. (This also
results in a lot of subsequent errors in our setup.)
To fix this, just include:
<software>
<remove-packages config:type="list">
<package>systemd-sysvinit</package>
</remove-packages>
</software>
This way, sysvinit-init will be installed and used.
When can we expect autoyast to support systemd?
[0]: Once you do a manual reboot (if you happen to have access other
than ssh to the machine), the machine will do the autoyast
kexec/reboot after that.

I'm a new to autoyast (2 weeks). I've setup an install procedure for my hosts
but I still fail to setup properly the printer.
I have a "lpadmin" and a "lpoptions" commands working when run as root after the
final reboot.
I've setup a post-scripts to do this automaticaly but it always fail with:
"lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused"
Even if my post-script requires network and start cupsd.
<post-scripts config:type="list">
<script>
<debug config:type="boolean">true</debug>
<filename>imprimantes</filename>
<network_needed config:type="boolean">true</network_needed>
<notification>Please wait while setting up printers ...</notification>
<interpreter>shell</interpreter>
<source><![CDATA[
#!/bin/sh
service cups start
lpadmin -p laser5M -m manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/hp-laserjet_4050_series-ps.ppd.gz
-u allow:all -L "Salle A116" -v socket://batA1-most1.hmg.inpg.fr.:9100 -E

Any suggestion is welcome.

Hello,
I'm making an autoyast configuration for 12.1 and when the install
is complete I get a grey login screen with a clock on it which is not
what I get when I do a manual install. I started yast on a machine and
looked into the sysconfig editor and put the same options I saw in the «
display manager » and « window manager » sections.
The only thing what got written out is this part (I assume because the
other options are default).
<sysconfig config:type="list">
<sysconfig_entry>
<sysconfig_key>DISPLAYMANAGER</sysconfig_key>
<sysconfig_path>/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager</sysconfig_path>
<sysconfig_value>kdm</sysconfig_value>
</sysconfig_entry>
</sysconfig>
There must be something I' missing somewhere, but I can't find it. Any
clues?
Thanks.

Hello,
strange problem: I have a autoyast-xml-File (made from a set of
xml-sniplets) which causes a Segfault of yast2 when I load that profile
in yast2-Auto-Installation-Module.
YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Profile.ycp:88
/sbin/yast2: line 423: 31763 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base
$module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS
System is openSuSE 11.4, autoyast2-installation-2.20.9-1.2.1,
autoyast2-2.20.9-1.2.1,
Can I check the validity of the profile without Yast?
Regards
Daniel
