linuxrc - netdevice=<hwaddress>
by John Willis 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

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!

[opensuse-autoinstall] autoyast with multiple LVM Volume Groups
by big beer 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

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 -- bigbeer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Repository Priority
by Tim Kirby 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Repository Priority is obviously a useful thing to be able to manipulate. Yast lets me set it and zypper lets me set it. Yet, if I have multiple repositories defined at the beginning of my autoyast (including update repos so I get an up to date system built out of the box), I don't seem to have any control over the respective repository priorities - they're all defaulted. Or did I miss a subtle option somewhere? Tim -- Tim Kirby 651-605-9074 trk(a)cray.com Cray Inc.

[opensuse-autoinstall] Identification of NICs by MAC address
by Sebastian Wenner 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi, is there a way of identifying NICs by MAC address rather than by interface name? We have several multi-nic machines where we run into trouble with "normal" interface names. They have e.g. 4 onboard nics, powered by the bnx2 driver and an additional quad-port card powered by the e1000 driver. If the e1000 gets loaded before the bnx2, the first onboard (which is our usual link into the install network) comes up as eth4 instead of eth0. Identifying the adapter by its mac address would do a great job to avoid this confusion... Is there a way of specifying this in the autoyast file and at the boot prompt?

[opensuse-autoinstall] Partition/sector boundary alignment
by Paul 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hi, Can anyone suggest how to ensure AutoYAST creates partitions that are aligned to 4K boundaries? As far as I can tell, AY doesn't allow for specifying start sectors -- only by size. I understand that without such alignment the disk I/O subsystem will be worked harder than it needs to be in order to satisfy requests. My build will be SLES11sp1 on both physical and VMware.

[opensuse-autoinstall] opensuse 11.4 pxe installation - no repository in 'iso:/?iso=openSUSE-11.4-DVD-i586.iso&url=nfs://...
by Pierre Girard 27 May '11

Hello, I'm trying to install opensuse 11.4 and so far the machine loads pxe, starts initrd and linux, and starts the installation process. At some point it looks to add repositories and I get an error message saying there was a problem adding a repository. Here's the message from y2log: 2011-03-14 10:56:08 <1> client.example.com(3182) [YCP] Progress.ycp:599 Subprogress initialization skipped 2011-03-14 10:56:08 <3> client.example.com(3182) [YCP] Packages.ycp:1484 No repository in 'iso:/?iso=openSUSE-11.4-DVD-i586.iso&url=nfs://nfsserver.example.com/suse/o…' 2011-03-14 10:56:08 <1> client.example.com(3182) [Pkg] Packages.ycp:1063 Pkg Builtin called: LastError I checked the path, and I was able to manually mount the directory from one of the terminals without problem.

I have the same lines for opensuse 11.3 and 11.2 and those installations work correctly. Any idea what could be the problem?

RE: [opensuse-autoinstall] linuxrc 'install' alternative in AutoYaST profile
by Stanislav Bocinec 19 Apr '11

Hi, i succeeded to play with Exec= and here is short howto: 1. Extract initrd you use to start installation (i.e. get one from opensuse/SUSE media from boot/i386/loader). http://wiki.openvz.org/Modifying_initrd_image 2. Create your script with required logic. I.e. if you want to set/modify linuxrc's 'install=' parameter, edit /linuxrc.config file and add following to the config file withing the script: Install: ftp://<ip>/path/to/suse/install Example of /linuxrc.config: KernelPCMCIA: 1 UseUSBSCSI: 1 Product: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 UpdateDir: /linux/suse/i386-sled11 MemLoadImage: 327680 MemYaST: 170000 InstsysComplain: 1 InitrdID: 2010-05-20.3ee27c11 dud: disk:/?device=*usb* KexecReboot: 0 Install: ftp://172.17.1.187/SLED11SP1 AutoYaST: ftp://172.17.1.187/autoyast/autoinst.xml Netdevice: eth0 Netsetup: dhcp 3. Create the new initrd 4. Start your installation - insert following boot parameter into boot parameters: exec=/path/to/your/script/on/initrd 5.

[opensuse-autoinstall] mta selection 11.4
by Karsten Künne 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hi all, I have the following line in my 11.4 autoyast profile: <mta config:type="symbol">postfix</mta> But, to my big surprise there was no postfix to be found on my installed system. Instead, exim got installed. Is this a known bug or did the xml syntax change perhaps? Karsten. -- Fine day to throw a party.
