Ok. I'm making progress with the add-on media for SLES 10. But I'm still stuck on how do I create my own add-on media with my autoyast profile.xml on it and get SLES 10 to use it. My whole goal is to fully automate the system and add-on install in grub menu selection. If I put autoyast=cd:///myprofile.xml I get a message from SLES 10 that it can't find/read my profile since the SLES 10 CD #1 is what has booted. If I copy the /boot folder from SLES 10 to my add-on CD and put autoyast=file:///myprofile.xml in the isolinux.cfg file the YaST install system finds my profile but then can't instialize the software catalogs since it doesn't know about the SLES 10 media yet. Is there a solution to this delima or am I forced into the creation of a floppy with the profile.xml on it and manually typing the "autoyast=floppy install=cd" on the grub boot line? Try this.

And since root is in different locations on SLES 9 vs SLES 10 then linuxrc loads the corresponding install system. YaST is correctly starting with the install system for the correct SLES and reads the profiles without failing. I STILL have the problem that my CD doesn't request the SLES 9 or SLES 10's CD #1 when initializing the software catalogs. With SLES 8 you had the SLES 8 CD #1 and the United Linux CD #1 and you could boot from either one to install depending on whether you wanted SLES or United Linux. My situation is like the SLES 8 model where I have my RPM's that need to be installed on top of SLES 9, SLES 10 during the install. The only difference is I need to support both SLES 9 and SLES 10 as the base product. So I guess my basic problem is two fold. 1) How do you correctly layout a CD distribution with multiple products (mine on top of SLES 9 and mine on top of SLES 10)? 2) How do you create a boot CD that is an add-on to the existing SLES CD's without remastering CD #1 of SLES? Hm, I can't comment on the required layout for add-on CDs but if you remove the 'root' images from your CD, linuxrc assumes you have a special boot CD and will ask for CD1. Maybe that helps.
