Hi again, what do I have to do in order to update my Installation Server with the latest rpm's and still get the AutoYast Network Installation to work? If I copy all update rpm's into the suse/* directories of my server and then run '/var/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr' AutoYast will still install the old rpm's!! If I delete the old rpm's and run 'create_package_descr' again, the installation failes with the same syptoms as described for the CD-Installation of my last email. Something here does not work the way I would expect. Or is 'create_package_descr' just the wrong script?! :-(Erik. On Thu, 14 Nov 2002, Erik Soyez wrote:
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.
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> .... ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why does this not work with a CD? Please help me, this is urgent!
Thanks, Erik.
