Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] SUSE-12.3 weirdness

I have posted a fix/workaround for the hang you report at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801878#c9 You could try to provide the patched file using the <files> section. I cannot guarantee that this works though... I personally built an updated yast2 package on OBS containing the patch and it works for me so far.

I'm trying to get autoyast working with OpenSUSE-12.3. The actual OS installation seems to work fine, but after the reboot (when it does a bunch of post-install stuff), its consistently hanging at: Preparing System for Automatic Instlallation Install required packages Checking for packages required for runlevel ---> 33%

Or more accurately, it just stalls. The system isn't hung, I can switch between virtual consoles, but the actual installation never progresses at all. Load is 0.00.

I started poking around in the newest log in /var/log/Yast2, and I see the following at the bottom of y2log:

It seems like maybe its unhappy about something related to the runlevel? My autoyast.xml has the following: ######### <configure> <runlevel> <default>3</default> </runlevel> #########

Is this no longer supported? The last version of the documentation seems to suggest that its still valid: http://users.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_doc/configuration.html#CreateProfile.Serv...

This looks like you hit bug 801878 of bugzilla.novell.com. One of a lot of fallout caused by systemd integration. Unfortiunatley it is not fixed in time for 12.3 release.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's definitely the bug ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801878 ). I hate systemd. Yet another solution in search of a problem.

I guess I'll just have to hack up some alternative mechanism for enforcing the runlevel.
