Last year I wrote this: Dave Thacker wrote:
Goal: Unnattended install of SUSE 9.1 using autoyast2.
I've successfully done a minimal installation using auto-yast on SuSE 9.1. After the client finished install, it rebooted. It's set to boot from PXE so it started up the entire install process. and started to install again. I have <forceboot config:type="boolean">false</forceboot> set in the config file. In chapter 4 of the docs it states: "Change starting from SUSE Linux 9.1/SLES9 The reboot property in the mode resource was used to force a reboot after initial system setup and before the system is rebooted for the first time. Currently after initial installation all systems must reboot, which makes this option obsolete."
Given that a reboot is inevitable, how do I stop a perpetual install loop? DT
In SLES9 there is a feature which is not documented exactly to solve
And Anas was kind enough to offer this solution.
this problem:
