Hi again!
After installing quite a few Pentium based machines with SuSE 8.0 and AutoYaST I tried to get it running on an Athlon system. Unfortunately the installation stops after packages are installed with a nice green box complaining about "clients/inst_finish.ycp not found".
I had a look at this and I found that for some reason the mounted cramfs was empty (all files gone). Anyone having similar problems?
After this I upgraded to latest yast2-module-autoinst - no improvements, instead YaST2 now asks me wether it should start the installation ... so I went back to the original one ...
I also tried the "mem=nopentium" option - without success.
Can this really be a Athlon specific problem? Or does anyone have a different idea?
Ok the problem is related to my pre-/post- install scripts. However I don't know why this error occurs only on one machine. I use the pre-script to store ssh keys on a ramdisk and restore them in the post-script. By now I used /dev/ram2 for this. I am currently running a test with /dev/ram6 (perhaps this might solve the problems). However it'd be nice to know which ramdisks get used during installation and which ones can be used without any danger ... and it'd be even nicer if there was some documentation of the install process itself (what ist done after kernel and initrd is loaded - which programs are executed before/after/by yast etc.) Ciao, Marcel ---- Marcel Ritter Linux Betreuer Regionales Rechenzentrum Erlangen ---- Unix _IS_ user friendly...
