Hello, I am running into a problem after calling create_package_descr: Several rpms during auto-installation are not installed and the client cannot reboot. In the logfile /mnt/var/log/YaST2/y2logRPM of the client I see errors: ... devs-2002.9.4-9.i586.rpm failed execution of devs-2002.9.4-9 script failed, exit status 255 ... netcfg-2002.9.4-6.noarch.rpm failed execution of netcfg-2002.9.4-6 script failed, exit status 255 ... After copying the original files {packages,packages.DU,packages.de,packages.en} to suse/setup/descr the auto-installation succeeds. Has anybody a hint? I have diff'ed packages and packages.orig, but besides of the failing "+Aut: ... -Aut:" in the new file packages both files look identically. What I have done in detail on the installation server: 1) copy all data from DVD to a shared directory (/net/lin_suse8.1) # mount -o ro /cdrom && cd /cdrom && df -k .
