[opensuse-autoinstall] Continuous reboot by autoyast/zzz_reboot
by Magyari, Miklos 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

hi, I'm installing SLED11 machines using autoyast and most of them are continuously rebooting after the installation is finished. As I guess, it is /etc/init.d/autoyast that executes /var/adm/autoinstall/init.d/zzz_reboot all the time. I would really appreciate any pointers on how to fix this. thanks in advance, Miki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Does autoyast run the rules process before ask?
by Stacey Murphy 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi, I have searched everywhere and I can't find this documented clearly. When the rules processing is done by autoyast, I can supply a custom1 class based upon a shell script. I have an ask section in the autoyast profile that queires the user for the type of install to be done. Based upon that value that I store to a file on the temporary ramdisk (/mnt), I want to have the rule get the right class to merge. But the docs don't really say whether the rule is executed before or after the ask. If ask does run afterwards, how can I get a user supplied value that can be queried by the rule/calls based scripts? And the docs say thathe rules/class script can check for things like host IP and such. But how can the IP exist of the autoinstall hasn't run yet? Unless I am reading the docs incorrectly and the autoyast profile runs, then the rules are evaluated? So I could have my ask get the user's asnwer, put it in the file on the ramdisk and have rules/class sectin query the file? Thanks for any help.

[opensuse-autoinstall] all installed packages are not included in 11.1 reference profile
by Jim Faulkner 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hello, It seems that all installed packages are not included in a newly created reference profile under 11.1. For example, my initial manual installation included the packages lftp and findutils-locate, however the reference profile I created on that system did not include those packages, nor were those packages included on an autoinstalled system using that profile. Here is my y2log of the creation of the reference profile: http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/jim/y2log-gari.bz2 Here is the resulting reference profile: http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/jim/autoinstall-gari.xml.bz2 Here is the full list of packages on the system on which the reference profile was created: http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/jim/gari.package.list.sorted.bz2 Here is the full list of packages on the system autoinstalled using that profile: http://zoo.cs.yale.edu/jim/autoinstall.package.list.sorted.bz2 -- Jim Faulkner / james.faulkner(a)cs.yale.edu Systems Administrator, Linux Systems Design & Support (LSDS) Yale University Information Technology Services (ITS) =============================================================== NOTE: Yale ITS will NEVER request passwords or other personal information via email.

[opensuse-autoinstall] swapfiles and nfs mounts
by Peter Bowen 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Is it possible for AutoYaST to create swapfiles (as opposed to swap partitions)? How about add entries for NFS mounts to fstab? Thanks, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Export installation settings as XML during installation
by Leonardo L. P. da Mata 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, i'm doing some tests with autoyast, and it is possible to export the configuration of a system using yast2 autoyast tools-> create reference profile option. The problem is that i need to export this settings automatically and during the normal installation, is there any interface, package, modules that export the settings into xml format information (like control.xml or autoyast.xml information)?

[opensuse-autoinstall] autoyast hangs when "package selection" is checked on suse 11.1
by Jim Faulkner 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hello, Autoyast hangs when creating a reference profile under 64-bit opensuse 11.1 when the "package selection" option is checked. y2base just sits there using 100% of the CPU for an indefinite period of time. I have left it running for several hours, but it never completes. I've tried this both on an out-of-the-box opensuse 11.1 system, and on a fully updated opensuse 11.1 system with the same results. I need the "package selection" option for the autoinstallation I'm working on. Is there an easy fix for this issue? thanks, Jim Faulkner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Mounting SWAP by UUID?
by Dax Kelson 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

I'm not using LVM and I would like all my entries in /etc/fstab to use UUID including swap. On SLES11 or SL11.1 when I use the following: <partition> <create config:type="boolean">true</create> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> <mount>swap</mount> <mountby config:type="symbol">uuid</mountby> <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">7</partition_nr> <resize config:type="boolean">false</resize> <size>500M</size> </partition> It results in the following line in /etc/fstab UUID= swap swap defaults 0 0 Thanks, Dax Kelson Guru Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org
