taking a quick look and comparing with a tool like "kdiff" shows some different enties (regarding the bootloader, grub .
The "autoinst.xml" from your manual installation for example has entries in <bootloader> and <loader_type> like this:
<image>(hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.32.12-0.7-default</image> <initrd>(hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.32.12-0.7-default</initrd>
<pertitioning> (boot) <fstopt>acl,user_xattr</fstopt>
These entries are missing in your original file. I don't know if it is a help for you. Try "kdiff" or any similar tool and it gives a good starting point to compare that files.
I'm still struggeling with my own <bootloader> entries so I'm not really an expert for your question ;-)
Thanks for the reply. I've added the entire <bootloader> from the working autoyast into my autoyast and I am testing now. My concern is that the kernel version referenced above may change. Will autoyast figure out that a newer kernel was installed and adjust appropriately? I assume that it will, but I'd like to leave it as generic as possible and let the system figure it out at build time.
The test failed. An interesting thing that I didn't mention is that if I reboot (rather than just exit the shell) 3 times, the system will finally load normally.
I've attached the revised autoyast. Note that I've added our local package and update repositories. If it makes it simpler for troubleshooting, I can leave these out. The problem occurs in either case.
OK, making some progress...After removing the following <remove-package> lines, my autoyast file works. <package>eject</package> <package>elilo</package> <package>emacs</package> <package>emacs-info</package> <package>emacs-x11</package> <package>finger</package> <package>FirmwareUpdateKit</package> <package>ivman</package> <package>pm-profiler</package> <package>ppp</package> <package>rcs</package> <package>rsh</package> <package>suspend</package> <package>wireless-tools</package> Do any of these look like they could cause this issue?
