I assume that you wanted the output from those commands on the target system when yast errors out? ls -la /var/tmp total 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 500 500 80 2006-06-29 06:23 . drwxr-xr-x 11 500 500 240 2006-06-29 06:22 .. drwx------ 2 root root 40 2006-06-29 06:23 TmpDir.x0IK3J drwx------ 2 root root 120 2006-06-29 06:23 TmpDir.xfDvXl
why is the UID 500? Was 500 the user who created the new initrd? That must be uid 0 Please create a new initrd and try again.
UID=500 was the user on my system who edited the initrd. Chowning all of var in the initrd to root does indeed fix the problem I was having. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, now i'm hitting a new problem at the very end of the installation when it hits "Install boot manager". I get "An error occurred during boot loader installation". In the y2log, I see: External program /usr/lib/YaST2/servers/scr died unexpectedly Storing device map failed Here's the relevant portions of my autoyast.xml: <bootloader> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <location>mbr</location> </bootloader> <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <use>all</use> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <mount>/boot</mount> <size>75mb</size> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem> </partition> <partition> <mount>swap</mount> <size>1012mb</size> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> </partition> <partition> <mount>/</mount> <size>max</size> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> </partition> </partitions> </drive> </partitioning> All of this is the same as my 9.3 and 10.0 autoyast.xml which isn't having this problem.
