[opensuse-autoinstall] Honoring the classes after choosing installation profile
by Hinrich Winther 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi I created a aks list give the user the choice what he wants to install like in this example: http://www.suse.de/~ug/Examples/ask_script.xml thank you for the hint Uwe Gansert. Now I have one problem left: I get the profile and can examine it at /tmp/profile/autoinst.xml However, the classes are not used. Can I get autoyast to honor the classes?

[opensuse-autoinstall] Add-on repositories ignored in SLES/D 11
by Frank Steiner 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I try to install SLES 11 with SDK 11. I added this in my software section <add-on> <add_on_products config:type="list"> <listentry> <media_url>nfs://bioserver.bio.ifi.lmu.de/rpm-export/x86_64/11/SDK</media_url> <product>SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11</product> <product_dir>/</product_dir> <name>SDK 11</name> </listentry> </add_on_products> </add-on> and I do find this part in the result.xml when the system has booted into the installation. However, in the software selection I don't find the SDK package or any of its rpm. "Repositorys" shows only SLES, not SDK. And the overview tells me "No add-on products are selected for installation" (or similar, translated from german). In y2log I find only one reference: 2009-03-31 07:51:23 <1> cantor(4234) [YCP] clients/inst_autosetup.ycp:169 UWE0 $["bootloader":..., software":$["add-on":$["add_on_products":[$["media_url":"nfs://bioserver.bio.ifi.lmu.de/rpm-export/x86_64/11/SDK", "name":"SDK 11", "product":"SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11", "product_dir":"/"]]],... At no other place in the whole log is an entry that AY tries to fetch this or mount it or whatever. Do I miss sth.? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

[opensuse-autoinstall] insmod modules not considered?
by Frank Steiner 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, we are passing some modules to the AY installer with insmod= via our pxelinux.cfg. But it seems that only some are loaded before the automatic hardware detection starts, and I don't understand which ones are and which ones are not. E.g. we have insmod=3w-9xxx insmod=scsi_mod insmod=dock insmod=libata insmod=ata_piix insmod=mptbase ... But only the 3ware controller is preloaded, the SATA not. On console 3 I see: ... insmod /modules/arc4.ko insmod /modules/3w-9xxx.ko insmod /modules/mptbase.ko ... Starting hardware detection... Thus, all the modules for the SATA controller are ignored. Same happens with "insmod=tg3 insmod=e1000" which loads the tg3 module, but not the e1000. What am I doing wrong here? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

[opensuse-autoinstall] 11.1 and netconfig policy
by Andreas Vetter 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, is it possible to set the netconfig policy stuff in autoyast for 11.1? My workaround would be to set the /etc/sysconfig values. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] steps to create an update source
by Salmon, Rene 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I have a few custom built RPMs that we would like to install on our SLES 11 and opensuse 11.1 machines via autoyast. I looked around the autoyast website and a few other lists and such and cant' quite get all the parts right to do this. For now I am simply trying to create the update source then I go to a SLES 11 machine and try to add that as a "Software Repository" just to test if the update source works. When I do this I get this error message: "No repository index in content file" Here are the steps I followed to create the update source: >>create_update_source.sh dist/ >>mkdir -p dist/updates/suse/x86_64 >>cp *.rpm dist/updates/suse/x86_64/ >>cd dist/updates/suse/ >>create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV >>cd setup/descr/ >>create_directory.yast . >>create_md5sums . last I edit the "dist/updates/content" file to look like this: >>cat dist/updates/content VENDOR SuSE Linux AG CREATIONDATE 20090329125112 VERSION 1 LABEL My Software Any ideas as to what I am missing in the creating of the update source that might cause the "No repository index in content file" error message?

[opensuse-autoinstall] dtds for SLES 11?
by Frank Steiner 30 Mar '09

Hi, AY for SLES11 complains about my rules.xml file. I can't find the dtd files to check my xml files. They are not in autoyast2-install where they used to be, and zgrepping in ARCHIES.gz also didn't return any results. Any place where I can download them? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

Hi, I tried to use the minimalistic autoyast file from the faq (http://www.suse.com/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#a3) for SLES11 on SLED11: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted> <user_password>myrootpassword</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> </users> </profile> The Problem is, that I can log in as root.

[opensuse-autoinstall] create_update_source etc. for SLES 11
by Frank Steiner 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, I would like to set up a repository for SLES 11, doing this on a SLES10 server. I wonder if the scripts like "create_update_source.sh" have changed from the version you list you http://www.suse.de/~ug/, e.g. the create_update_source.sh linked there is from 2006. The problem is that I can't take them from the inst-source-utils.rpm from SLES 11, because I cannot install or open this rpm with tools rpm2cpio because the rpm lib has changed. Do I need the tools from SLES 11 or are the old versions enough? Is there any way to unpack RPMs from SLES 11 on a SLES 10 system? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
