that error is not raised by autoyast itself but by the resolver. Can you do manual installations with that inst-source (remove the autoyast=.... parameter to switch to a non-autoyast installation)? It should trigger the same error.
I'm not sure what this error is about, as the URL that its referencing is definitely valid, and has the full contents of the SLED11-SP1-i586 DVDs copied into it.
do you see anything more verbose in the /var/log/YaST2/y2log file? The error message "No metadata checksums in content file" is about missing checksum in the "content" file in the root of the installation source. Those checksum lines start with: META SHA1 295ba7b97cafc....... HASH SHA1 8ae426e9f4505a0 ... If you just copied that file from the original inst-source I have no explanation. Maybe you can send me the y2log file when you see that error.
I should note that the my original problem went away for x86_64 when I switched to the final version of SLED11-SP1. Its only i586 that continues to cause problems.
are you 100% sure you did not accidently use a content file from another release candidate or so? -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Falling" by Edge Of Dawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
