Hi everyone,
sorry for asking such a general question, but what is the state of
AutoYast for OpenSUSE 13.1?
I converted a completely working XML from a 12.3 installation to 13.1.
The autoinstallation finishes, but the installed system is
- missing Sysconfig configuration from <sysconfig> section
- has not run any of the <post-scripts> and <init-scripts>
- does not accept the root password configured in the <users> section
- is missing all files installed from the <files> section of the XML
- misses LDAP and KRB config from <ldap> and <kerberos>
- services are not configured as in <services>
and many more problems.
To me it looks like the complete second stage is missing, as all those
things are done there.
Is this a known problem? Or are there known problems for 13.1?
Did anyone succeed with AutoYast and 13.1 with any of the above
mentioned XML sections?
The y2log file from second stage is very small and does not show any
errors...
Best regards,
Joschi Brauchle
Hello world,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with 13.1s AutoYAST on IBX-530s [0].
Maybe some of you can help…
We're using rules.xml to distinguish between a couple of machines,
namely "real" servers, embedded devices (IBX) and more. The AutoYAST
profiles for the real servers and the embedded devices have only
trivial differences (re bootloader etc., nothing I'd suspect to have
any relevance to the problem). The only other difference is that for
real servers we use a static IP address (via hostip, nameserver, and
gateway boot parameters), and for embedded devices we use DHCP.
The real servers install and run just fine.
With the embedded devices, stage 1 finishes just fine, AFAICT. After
the reboot, stage 2 throws a few APCI errors (warnings?), then tells
me systemd is about to flush the journal (we don't use a persistent
journal), and then does nothing, YAST is never even displayed
(textmode=1 on both servers and embedded). I have tried around 10
installs and waited for up to 90 minutes; my colleague who first
experienced the problem said he waited for the journal for about five
minutes and was then dropped to a non-functioning login prompt or
shell, but I could not reproduce this.
YAST is started seemingly started in the background according to the
logs, and runs up to the first user prompt (we have to accept a GPG
key because we manually-by-script add a custom add-on repo). Since I
can't see YAST, I can't interact with it.
I cannot find what is wrong, not even an error message; I am quite
lost. I have attached some logs and command output. Can anybody shed
some light on what is happening? I would really appreciate any kind of
help, nudges in the right direction, or slaps in the back of the head
to wake up my brain. (;

If I use autoyast and xml file, without any partitions rules, will the
existing partitions be safe ?
That is, will I be asked about partition scheme ? Or will partitions be
erased automatically ?
