Hi, Yes, there is a limit, I am not sure what is it though (someone telling me it is 256). To avoid this, use an info file with all parameters. Anas francois.blaes@eu.effem.com wrote:
Hi all
To perform AutoYAST installs, we use a custom boot CD based on the boot CD that ships with SLES8 SP2a
The isolinux.cfg file has been tweaked to contain our standard install parameters (config and rpms repository, for instance) At the boot prompt, we append additional per-server parameters like the hostip, which makes the line even longer
The install process works fine on some servers but fails on some others, noticeably on ones located on differnet subnets.
Switching to the log displayed on tty3, we eventually found out that it fails when the line of parameters exceeds a certain length. The last characters are dropped, so the gateway IP is truncated and linuxrc fails of course to reach the repository
Is this a known issue with isolinux ? What is the authorized length ? Is there a workaround ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
