Hi, I rectified typographic error (brought a smile to my face) but a // should not matter but perhaps it does in this case. Additionally, I removed the loading the blx driver and specifying eth0, just in case it made any difference. [netdevice=eth0 insmod=bnx2]. The result was identical: default SLES10_SP3_x86_64 # install SLES10_SP3 - generic profile label SLES10_SP3_x86_64 kernel sles10_sp3_x86_64/linux append initrd=sles10_sp3_x86_64/initrd ramdisk_size=65536 install=nfs://10.205.8.145/export/export/sles10sp3_x86_64 hostip=10.205.8.253/24 autoyast=nfs://10.205.8.145/export/profile/generica-sles10sp3_x84_64_autoinst_oracle_ebusiness.xml textmode=1 I realise that it cannot read the installation, but where does it fail? I monitored this with tcpdump and the only useful bit I saw was this. After the TFTP download has finished the autoyast server starts ARPing for the clients IP address.

When I try a PXE boot it DHCPs the address and downloads the SP3 initrd, and now the network cards appear, but it falls back to an "Activating manual install..." menu. I thought that it could not download the autoinst.xml from the NFS share,
no, if you see that message, AutoYaST has not even tried to read the XML profile. It can not read the installation system.
The PXE file contains: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-d8-d3-85-5a-83-38.sles10_SP3_x86_64:

is the "export//export" really correct?
