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?

Installing SLES11 SP2 - Beta 5 today and ran into a new issue.
I noticed that during the initial install, it was using em1 as the network device.
After the reboot, when the network devices were brought up, they were eth* devices.
The network didn't come up correctly. I had to switch to VT2 and run dhcpd manually on eth0.
I'm using the keep_install_network option in my autoyast.xml
<networking>
<keep_install_network config:type="boolean">true</keep_install_network>
<dns>
<dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_hostname>
<hostname>MYHOST</hostname>
<resolv_conf_policy>auto</resolv_conf_policy>
</dns>
</networking>
Is it possible that the config isn't getting migrated correctly due to the device name change?

For my team, I manage several Linux auto-installations for RedHat & SLES. I have fairly stock autoyast.xml's that have been working quite well for a while. With SLES11SP2, I'm running into a new problem.
As our add-on repository is for internal access only, we've never seen any value in signing our packages.
I use the signature-handling flags to bypass the signing checks:
<signature-handling>
<accept_unsigned_file config:type="boolean">true</accept_unsigned_file>
<accept_file_without_checksum config:type="boolean">true</accept_file_without_checksum>
<accept_verification_failed config:type="boolean">true</accept_verification_failed>
<accept_unknown_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</accept_unknown_gpg_key>
<accept_non_trusted_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</accept_non_trusted_gpg_key>
<import_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</import_gpg_key>
</signature-handling>
</general>
With SLES11SP2 (beta3) autoyast attempts to retrieve the repomd.xml.asc and repomd.xml.key files anyway. This throws up a blocking error dialog.
Am I doing something wrong or has this behavior changed?

Hi,
Is it possible to configure autoyast so that I get all the y2log
install messages to the serial console instead to tty4?
And if this is possible, how would I set this up?
Thanks,
Conny

Hi,
I'm trying to run two post-install scripts from file, however it seems,
autoyast can't do this.
If I include one script in
<script>
<source>...</source>
</script>
and one in
<script>
<location>ftp://.....</location>
</script>
both scripts run.
However, when I try to use two scripts with <location>,,,,</location>
only the first one gets done, regardless of an additional script with
<source>,,,</source> or not.
Is it simply not possible to do so?
I tried openSuSE 11.2 and SLES11 SP1
I used the following in the autoyast.xml file:
a)
<script>
<location>ftp://xyzzy/autoyast/mail-settings-112.sh</location>
</script>
<script>
<location>ftp://xyzzy/autoyast/backup-deployment.sh</location>
</script>
and
b)
<script>
<location>ftp://xyzzy/autoyast/mail-settings-112.sh</location>
<filename>mail-settings-112.sh</filename>
</script>
<script>
<location>ftp://xyzzy/autoyast/backup-deployment.sh</location>
<filename>backup-deployment.sh</filename>
</script>
at b) I get log files for both, not only one postinstall-scripts.log,
with the second lob, "mail-settings-112.sh.log" being empty.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you very much
Robert Klein
