It sure would be nice to use the option to reboot after stage 2. Like Simon, it's the only way I can ensure some of my changes are updated, so right now I'm using the "duct tape and bailing wire" method of injecting my own code to force a reboot. -----Original Message----- From: Uwe Gansert [mailto:ug@suse.de] Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 8:27 AM To: suse-autoinstall@suse.com Subject: Re: WG: [suse-autoinstall] reboot after install On Friday 08 September 2006 15:11, Simon Crute wrote:
I've remove the foceboot and reboot, and now it is rebooting after the RPM install, and before doing the configuration.
So, what am I missunderstanding with the forceboot option then ?
the forceboot option is (like the reboot option) useless and not supported anymore. The default of yast is to reboot the machine after the package installation. forceboot overwrites that default with a new value. I'm pretty sure that I tried that option too a while ago and my machine still rebooted. That's why I kept it and thought: "well useless, but can't hurt.". It looks like I was wrong because in your case, it changes the default behaviour to "not booting". I need to take a closer look why that happened and why it's different on your hardware than on mine but I'll drop the "forceboot" code now anyway. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing The Retrosic - The Storm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com
