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

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?

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?
Best regards
Sebastian

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.
Thanks,
-Paul

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.
Here's part of the pxelinux.cfg/default
label workstation11.4-32
kernel linux11.4-32
append initrd=initrd11.4-32 ramdisk_size=65536 insmod=e100
textmode=1
autoyast=nfs://nfsserver.example.com/suse/autoyast-workstation-11.4install=nfs://nfsserver.example.com/suse/opensuse/distribution/11.4/iso/ope…
label manual11.4-32
kernel linux11.4-32
append initrd=initrd11.4-32 ramdisk_size=65536 manual=1
install='nfs://nfsserver.example.com/suse/opensuse/distribution/11.4/iso/openSUSE-11…'
For now I'm trying to make the manual installation work.
I have the same lines for opensuse 11.3 and 11.2 and those installations
work correctly.
Any idea what could be the problem?
Thank you.

Hi All,
We are finally close to our final autoyast.xml configuration, but have a
question about forcing one more reboot.
One of the last scripts we run is to setup the atomic update partition
and cloning, after we do this we need the system to reboot. I have
tried just adding a reboot to this script, but that doesn't work -
guessing because the script is never "complete" and the system continues
to reboot.

Hello,
Where can I find a complete list of elements, which are possible
inside networking section:
I know that static ip address can be configured this way:
<networking>
<interfaces config:type="list">
<interface>
<ipaddr>219.1.90.100</ipaddr>
<netmask>255.255.255.128</netmask>
</interface>
But its not described in:
http://www.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_doc/CreateProfile.Network.html
Is there a link to old style autoyast documentation?
Regards,
Vladimir Ondrus
