Hello Loni, the bug you referenced in bnc#799496 looks very similar in terms of console output, but was in the _net_nfs_mount procedure of linuxrc, hence affecting NFS mounts only. Personally, I never understood how this problem appeared in the first place, as the troublesome code had been working nicely for openSUSE < 12.3. This suggests that some other change in linuxrc or elsewhere caused the good code to go bad. Hence, similarly to NFS mounts suddenly hanging in linuxrc (for whatever reason), it may not be too far fetched to assume that some other part of linuxrc causes your problem. If you can reproduce your problem *with a real machine*, I would open a bugreport with Novell against LinuxRC. Best regards, Joschi Brauchle On 08/06/2013 07:38 PM, Lonni J Friedman wrote:
Greetings, I'm trying to run an autoyast based installation of SLES11-SP3 inside of a KVM based virtual machine (host OS is Fedora19-x86_64, if that matters), and it is consistently hanging at: Sending dhcp request to eth0
It sounds quite similar to this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799496
however, I'm not installing over NFS at all. I'm invoking the installation from local media, and pulling down all components via http. This is the isolinux 'append' entry that I'm using:
textmode=1 initrd=sles113_64bit.img autoyast=http://172.20.232.152/distros/suse/os/SLES11-SP3/x86_64/autoyastcuda.xml install=http://172.20.232.152/distros/suse/os/SLES11-SP3/x86_64
Has anyone else run into anything like this?
thanks
