Hi, I am trying to do a network install with SuSE 9.1 on a headless (and keyboardless) machine. After inital booting and ssh login, yast displays the following error message: unicode_start skipped on /dev/pts/0 No keyboard detected. Trying to connect via serial interface /dev/ttyS0. On your terminal computer start the user interface with y2base "serial(115200):/dev/ttyS0" qt --auto-fonts or y2base "serial(115200):/dev/ttyS1" qt --auto-fonts or start the YaST2 menu by typing "yast2" and select YaST2/Remote Install This is because yast calls hwinfo, which sets "Keyboard: 0" in /etc/install.inf, causing YaST2 to fail at the following section: if [ ! "$update" -a "$Keyboard" = "0" -a ! "$Braille" -a "$NOTISERIES" != 0 -a "$NOTHVCCONSOLE" != 0 -a "$HOSTTYPE" != "s390" -a "$HOSTTYPE" != "s390x" -a -z "$Console" ] ; then log "no keyboard?" echo "No keyboard detected. Trying to connect via serial interface /dev/ttyS0." ... fi Is there any workaround/fix? Regards, Jochen
