Hello everybody,
I try to create a custom CD for SLES9 x86_64. With Yast CD Creator I setup the hierarchy needed to install Linux. Then I put Enterprise Agents into a separate directory. These get installed by the postinstall script. Then I compiled everything with mkisofs. I can boot from the CD, there's a popup complaining that I try to install 32bit software on a 64bit hardware. In the Yast log file I can see that yast is doing some magic to avoid this messages. Is somebody willing to share this magic with me ?

sounds great, does it mean that I can create a CD which contains both archs and the installer decides which packages to install ?
Yes. But only with SL >= 9.2 (not SLES9).
If yes, is there a howto somewhere ?
Not that I'm aware of. But on our 'normal' DVD it works this way: the bootloader appends '64' to the kernel and initrd names on 64-bit machines (if bit 4 is set in 'notice' in isolinux.cfg). You must ensure that initrd64 points to a 64-bit installation system (linuxrc.config has an entry in our initrd64 setting it to 'root64'). I think that's about all the black magic. Steffen
