Hello,
I did have similar problems...
Check the way you pass the URL, the problem lies somewhere in the
"iso:/" part: I experiemented with "iso://" and "iso:///" and did get it
working with one of them as far as I remember.
Alternatively: The problem is the combination of mounting an iso image
thru nfs. Try extracting your iso file on the nfs server into a
directory and then use a plain "nfs://<server>/ Le 2011-05-09 09:31, Guenther Haas a écrit : Hi! Think I have the same o a similar problem (again) with our old nfs
server.
My installation of 11.4 also stops because of an NFS timeout during
adding
the repository. So... Last I heard, seems to be a bug in zypp.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681091 I worked around the problem by installing an http server and doing
installs that way instead of using NFS. On 03/14/2011 08:24 PM, Pierre Girard wrote: I'm trying to install opensuse 11.4 and so far the machine loads pxe,

from one of the terminals without problem. Have you tried to manually mount the repository from the (interrupted)
installation system? Does this work? If not, does mount -o nolock,nfsvers=2 <repo> <dir> work? You can also try nfsvers=3. For me this works, but not without the
"unlock" option as the rpcstatd is missing at this time and can not be
started!? My problem now is, that from a pxe boot I see no possibility to pass the
nolock option to linuxrc. The existing option nfsops=... doesn't allow
the use of nolock, only udp, tcp, vers or rsize & wsize. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Linuxrc Maybe those problems are not connected, but they sound similar to me.
My colleague has no problems installing via NFS from a server with
newer nfs version. Any ideas? Regards, --
