Hi there,
I just created an Auto-Installation CD using AutoYast2 (SuSE-8.1). This seemed to be a great option for our customer to quickly reinstall his server in case of failure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ # rpm -qa | grep autoy autoyast2-installation-2.6.38-1 autoyast2-2.6.38-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
After installing the software packages, AutoYast says "18 packages returned an error". It does not show any details - the detailed list button shows an empty page.
This happens if you created a faulty package dabatase. Please make sure /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV is available when you create the database.
Then it says something about having problems writing the boot record and gives a kernel panic when trying to boot the installed system.
Starting a rescue system shows that no kernel or initrd gets installed under '/boot'.
With the netork installation this problem could be solved including: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <install> <general> <mode><confirm config:type="boolean">false</confirm></mode> .... ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you update the root image? It seems you still have the old packages in the root image (inst-sys) Anas
Why does this not work with a CD? Please help me, this is urgent!
Thanks, Erik.
