Anyone using AutoYast2 with PXE?
by Marcel Ritter 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

Hi there! Did anyone out there already succeed in using AutoYast2 with PXE network boot? I'd like to have a big "floppy image" that contains all available modules - but at the moment I have no real idea how to build it from the available disks (bootdisk,modules{1,2,3} ...) Perhaps someone has already done this ... ... if not I'll have a closer look ... Ciao, Marcel

SuSE 8.0 & CUPS
by paedi＠gmxpro.net 12 Apr '02

12 Apr '02

Hello, I have a big problem with the CUPS-Modul of Yast. I installed tow times SuSE 8.0 today, all worked fine. But if I changed from LPD to CUPS with YAST2, I becomed some problemes. SuSEconfig with LPD need a minute for all. But SuSEconfig with CUPS need a minute for each task of SuSEconfig, that means more then 10 minutes. I don't understand this. Why is this so? Thanks for help Patrick

profile questions

Hello Anas, I am back to SuSE 8.0 now. I'm not sure the mailing list is working yet but I will copy this to suse-autoinstall(a)suse.com and see what happens. I installed 8.0, ran the Configuration System, and generated a profile that I copied to a floppy as autoinst.xml. When I use that file to autoinstall 8.0, the autoinstall seems to work, i.e. I do not have to enter the language or other configuration queries, however, I get a partitioning error indicating /dev/sda3 cannot be mounted to /mnt/. Here is the section on partitioning. I have tried varying the partitions and cannot make this work. <partitioning config:type="list" > <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <partitions config:type="list" > <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >false</format> <mount>/boot</mount> <size>20MB</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >130</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >false</format> <mount></mount> <size>300MB</size> <type>Linux swap</type> </partition> <partition> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean" >false</crypt_fs> <crypt_key></crypt_key> <filesystem_id config:type="integer" >131</filesystem_id> <format config:type="boolean" >false</format> <mount>/</mount> <size>max</size> <type>Linux native</type> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> Is there a more detailed description of how this should look, or how any of the entries in the autoinst.xml file should look. The AutoYast2 document section I. Profile Element Reference lists the entries, but there is not much detail. I noticed also that I cannot abort the installation when the error occurs. If I select abort in the error window, the installation continues. I must select continue and later hit the abort installation button.

segmentation fault error on automated installation
by Miguel Gómez 09 Apr '02

09 Apr '02

Hi, I've set up an automated installation environment for SuSE Linux 7.3. The problem is that on certain computers the installation process can't finish due to a "segmentation fault" error during the installation of the kernel. I'm installing SuSE's default 2.4 kernel, that should be suitable for the type of computers I'm working with. ¿Does anybody know what causes this problem and how can I fix it? Thanks. Regards, Miguel Gómez Rodríguez gomez(a)dit.upm.es

I can't help but feel that Yast2 is not doing all it can. I installed over FTP, but can't change my source media. The FTP IP address times out, and if I try the NFS server address it tells me that I'm trying to connect to a different version than what my machine says it has. I installed from ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/current/suse so maybe the current vs 7.3 difference is messing it up? What do I need to change to make this work? Thanks, -Rob

BOOTP problem in automated installation
by Miguel Gómez 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Hi, I'm trying to set up an automated installation environment for SuSE Linux 7.3. I want the clients to get their network parameters from a DHCP server, but I'm having a problem: all the clients send 00:00:00:00:00:00 as their hardware address in the BOOTP query, so the DHCP server can't assign them fixed IP addresses depending on that. ¿Can anyone help? Regards, Miguel Gómez Rodríguez gomez(a)dit.upm.es

Documentation?

So, Is there any documentation available of what we need to do with the new setup once it arrives? With Alice we had to know CVS, is that still the same, anything else we might as well start reading up on at once?
