I am having difficulties with the autoinstall of sles8 via HTTP. When I boot up, I receive the following error after the hardware detection and activation of usb devices: "Could not find the UnitedLinux Installation Source. Activating manual setup program." So I then go through the manual screen and verify that my network card (eth0) is loaded, and select 'Start Installation / System > Start Installation / Update > network > HTTP. If I choose 'Automatic Configuration via DHCP?', I get this error: "DHCP Configuration Failed." If I choose no on 'Automcatic Configuration via DHCP" and manually put in my static IP address, netmask and gateway, I get this error: "An error occurred during the network configuration. Probably your network card was not recognized by the kernel!" Here are some more details of my setup. My installation source is loop mounted ISO's setup as described here: http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/faq.html#id2459380. I am using the SP3 kernel, initrd and have the driverupdate at the root of the source as suggested. I have tried this on multiple machines with the same result.
At this point of the installation, you haveto verify two things: 1. You have supplied the correct installation source with the "install" keyword and make sure the files are accessable. 2. Verify the NIC is actually configured. This can be seen on the third console. Follow the messages on the console and see where it is hanging and why. Usually its the wrong kernel module or something similar. Anas
I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions.
Thanks,
