Hi, I'm also having a reboot problem, this one is with SLES8. Up to now all installations went fine: after autoyast completes the system does a reboot and executes my own startup scripts in rc3.d to finish the installation. Yesterday I installed a similar machine (HP DL380 G3, other machines were IBM x235, x360 and HP ML370/570), but after autoyast finished the server didn't reboot but entered runlevel 5. This is due to a bug in autoyast. We specify runlevel 3 in autoyast.xml and then configure X11, but this sets the runlevel to 5 in /etc/inittab. So as a workaround (suggested by SuSE support) we added the "3" as a kernel parameter for the bootloader to force the machine to runlevel 3 (and then execute the startup script). All the other machines did a reboot after autoyast installation finished, this one doesn't... What can be the reason? Only differences between installations are in network configuration (ip address, nic modules etc.) and partitioning (1 or 2 RAIDs). All machines are configured with forceboot=false and reboot=false in the general section. AFAIK the reboot parameter is only for a reboot before the first initial reboot takes place (and doesn't work at all) and forceboot is documented nowhere...
