/etc/install.inf That file should reflect some info file parameter [...] What strikes me as odd is that "Floppydisk" says "/dev/sdb" - strange...
And THAT was the give-away... <drum-roll> There was a USB stick in one of the USB ports! Once I removed it, the auto-install went as usual. This makes me feeling stupid for not checking before - and curious: Does the autoinstaller always check USB sticks first before reading the information from the floppy? It's kind of weird - the autoinstaller finds the 'info' file on the floppy but then proceeds to read the rest from the USB stick - which fails, as there is no 'info' nor 'autoinst.xml' on that stick. Is this desired behaviour or some oddity related to the actual PC in question? Cheerio, Thomas
