Hello, I'm trying to install opensuse 11 booting from a DVD but selecting an ISO DVD on an NFS server. I tried creating an autoyast configuration file but i was having all sorts of problems with software selection and repositories at install time so i went back to a simple semi-manual NFS install to try and troubleshoot the problem. I can start the installation, select a kde3 desktop, set up the other options and install the software and then it reboots to complete the installation. At the moment i keep it to bare minimum so i didn't try to setup NIS and many other things. After the reboot it seems like it can no longer find the NFS source even after many retries. I tried doing the installation with DHCP and with a static address and i get the same result in both cases. When i go to Ctrl-F2 console i can do an ifconfig and see that the machine has an IP address but it doesn't seem to be able to ping anything on the network which would explain why it can't connect to the NFS server. I tried an "ifconfig eth0 up" and then pings start working and i can dig as well. After that when i hit retry it seems to proceed correctly. When i type in the NFS source i use the IP address of the machine to avoid possible DNS problems. I'm out of ideas on what to try out next.
