[opensuse-autoinstall] strange boot problems
by Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

Hi, I've noticed rare boot problems occurring on nodes installed via autoyast. Some machines of our HPC cluster, currently containing around 60 nodes, sometimes to not reboor correctly. So if the system crash OR I just enter "reboot" the system will not start again. Grub i working the boot process is starting and then the system remains in a waiting state after 8 sec (see boot5.jpg). The hard disk controller is loaded, the file system is clean - I have no idea what is blocking the system. For the normal nodes a reinstall using autoyast was the fastest solution. But maybe someone has an idea where to look for the problem ... I haven't noticed this behavior on nodes installed manually... -- Bye, Peer ________________________________________________________ Max-Planck-Institut für Biogeochemie Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch Hans-Knöll Str.10 Telefon: ++49 3641 57-6705 D-07745 Jena Telefax: ++49 3641 57-7705

[opensuse-autoinstall] Leap 42.3 and rules
by Werner Hack 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Hi all, I use a rules file with several custom rules to install Leap 42.3 The rules worked fine in Leap 42.2. But in Leap 42.3... o I noticed that the result of the first rule is always ignored and therefore it is not merged. My workaroud to this I have to write a dummy rule at first place. o All my dialogboxes pop up a second time. This is annoying. How can I prevent this behaviour? Any idea what goes wrong here? Are these known bugs? Any solutions? What has changed since Leap 42.2? Regards Werner

[opensuse-autoinstall] Subtle differences between 42.x(?) DVD- and NET-ISOs with AutoYAST
by 686f6c6d 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Greetings, we're experiencing the following strange issue: We (re-)install our laptops using a USB boot stick and AutoYAST profiles on an HTTP server. Since openSUSE 11.x, we've used the openSUSE-*-DVD-type ISOs for this: - Put the image on the stick (with dd), - boot, enter "autoyast=http://foo/bar", - laptop gets IP and DNS via DHCP, - AutoYAST fetches the profile for the MAC of the laptop and installs… great! For some reason, with openSUSE Leap 42.3 and 42.2 (haven't tested more, but my documentation indicates it worked with 42.1), there's a problem with the DVD-flavour ISOs. If we use these on our boot stick, then during bootup eth0 won't be brought up, won't get IP and DNS info and hence AutoYAST is unable to fetch the profile and install successfully. (Variant: When we don't enter our HTTP source as boot parameter but via the bootloader menu entry "Source (F4)", eth0 does successfully come up during startup and fetches IP and DNS info via DHCP, but then fails in a different way: For some reason, AutoYAST then still wants to configure wlan0 on the laptop as well and fails to find the AutoYAST profile if no wireless connection data is entered or available.) We've tried creating the boot media with both plain "dd" and the (openSUSE RPM) "imagewriter" with identical results. Once we use the NET-flavour ISOs for our boot stick, it works as expected. Is this expected behaviour? Is it a known issue? -- Kind regards Christopher 'm4z' Holm / 686f6c6d "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." --H.

[opensuse-autoinstall] 2 questions about VLAN and autoinstall
by Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

Hi, following questions: 1) Is it possible to use tagged vlans for installation ? If yes, how do I tell the system with vlan tag to use ? 2) Does anybody know how to set up tagged vlans with a Intel X710 (i40e module) ? I tried it the old way (ifcfg-vlanID ...), but this is not working. I did not found any example .. Do I have to use the VF (virtual functions) ? -- Bye, Peer ________________________________________________________ Max-Planck-Institut für Biogeochemie Dr. Peer-Joachim Koch Hans-Knöll Str.10 Telefon: ++49 3641 57-6705 D-07745 Jena Telefax: ++49 3641 57-7705
