I have a working autoyast install for 11.1 without using rules. Right
now I would like to introduce rules but I do not seem to understand
exactly how to make this work.

The current install is done by supplying information for a linuxrc info
file on the kernel command line

    info=nfs://<ip-address>/<path>/1055_init.linuxrc

The info file has several parameters defined for network access, the
install  and the autoyast variable

    autoyast: nfs://<ip-address>/<path>/1055_init.autoyast   <- this is
my autoinst profile

below the path I have created the rules directory which includes a rules
.xml file with following content


<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE autoinstall SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/rules.dtd">
  <!-- comments -->

  <autoinstall xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns"
xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns">
  <rules config:type="list">
    <rule>
      <custom1>
        <script>
# CPU_TYPE on vm's is giving same result for CPU as on real hardware we
have to extend to video to understand the difference between virtual and
real
CPU_TYPE=`cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep 'model name'|uniq|awk 'BEGIN

VIDEO_TYPE=`/sbin/lspci | grep "VGA compatible controller"|awk 'BEGIN

then
  if [ "$VIDEO_TYPE" == " nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7300 GT] (rev

    echo -n "host1.xml"

    echo -n "host2.xml"
  elif [ "$VIDEO_TYPE" == " InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox

    echo -n "host2-virtualbox.xml"

        <continue config:type="boolean">false</continue>
      </result>
    </rule>
  </rules>
</autoinstall>

I have tried to change the autoyast parameter in the info file with the
following values

    autoyast: nfs://<ip-address>/<path>/   <-- question about profile
location

    autoyast: nfs://<ip-address>/<path>/rules/   <-- question about
profile location

    autoyast: nfs://<ip-address>/<path>/rules/rules.xml

Above direct reference to rules file seems to work but not as expected.
When I check the box I can see that in /tmp/profile/autoinst.xml I find
a copy of my rules.xml file where I'm expecting a merged profile from my
1055_init.autoyast and host2.xml information

I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong and even after extensive check
via google haven't found the right references. I've used
http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.1/autoinstall/ for
documentation but it is not giving me enough detail to solve above issue.

Any input would be welcomed.

I'd recommend using simple grep checks for some basics vs a complete =3D=3D c=
heck
as you're going to have to update every time you have any change in hw.
Unless you're cool with that of course. :)

Not sure that works.  We have a default file we include and do it via:
    <rule>
      <memsize>
          <match>1</match>
          <match_type>greater</match_type>
      </memsize>
      <result>
          <profile>scripts.xml</profile>
          <continue config:type=3D"boolean">true</continue>
      </result>
    </rule>

This means any box with at least 1 meg (byte?) of ram.. so all.  This is
something I've using since sles9 though, and I don't think I ever tried what
you did above.

That looks right.  Assuming your referenced files the rules.xml outputs are in
there, and rules/rules.xml is relative to there.

Check the /var/log/Yast/y2log file(s).  They'll be VERY verbose showing the
results of the rules steps, which file(s) it tries to copy and when.  For
example, it specifcially shows it copying the scripts.xml I ref above:
2009-10-15 00:09:04 <1> 10.46.16.84(3129) [YCP] autoinstall/io.ycp:180 Copy C=
ommand: /bin/cp /tmp/YaST2-03129-h399Sr/tmp_mount/scripts.xml /tmp/YaST2-0312=
9-D4d8Xe/rules/scripts.xml

Note that if using NFS or other network locations, it'll do everything
relative from the path that autoyast: part points to, so you can't symlink
from there to another path, unless it's below that one.  I had that bite me in
the past.  Well, maybe with http it works, but with NFS it'll mount to the
full path pointed to by autoyast: so it can't do a link like
../scripts/foo.xml in there.

By using the y2log file I found that the rules were being processed but
it seemed that when it was complaining it couldn't find any profile it
was actually complaining about the fact that there was no active rule
available. After changing the <match>*</match> to the memory size check
it worked. Will need to work some more on this to understand how this is
exactly working since the <match>*</match> was from an example I found
on the net.

Is that exactly how it was in the example you found?  With the empty 
<script></script> part?  I'd think that's what confused it.  Maybe just having
that part be as simple as:
<script>
echo true
</script>

Would at least give it something for the <match>*</match> part to actually
match against.

Not sure whether the different sequencing is part of the issue or not. 
Clearly "Final Profile name: rules/1060_scan64-3200.xml" is not the same 
as "Final Profile name: @custom1@". Is this some different functionality 
in 11.3 or a bug or something I have overlooked maybe

Any help is appreciated.
