Thank you Thorsten, but these scripts do not work for SuSE-8.1. Anas, does SuSE-8.1 have any possibility for an easy Server-Upgrade included? Thanks, Erik. On Thu, 14 Nov 2002, Kugelberg, Thorsten wrote:
Hey,
have a look at the Posting from Sept 2002 (I think)--> http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2002-Sep/ . There should be a thread called 'applying patches'. Just have a look at it.
Regards Thorsten

Hi again,
what do I have to do in order to update my Installation Server with the latest rpm's and still get the AutoYast Network Installation to work?
If I copy all update rpm's into the suse/* directories of my server and then run '/var/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr' AutoYast will still install the old rpm's!! If I delete the old rpm's and run 'create_package_descr' again, the installation failes with the same syptoms as described for the CD-Installation of my last email.
Something here does not work the way I would expect. Or is 'create_package_descr' just the wrong script?!
:-(Erik.

Hi there,
I just created an Auto-Installation CD using AutoYast2 (SuSE-8.1).
This
seemed to be a great option for our customer to quickly reinstall his server in case of failure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# rpm -qa | grep autoy autoyast2-installation-2.6.38-1 autoyast2-2.6.38-1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After installing the software packages, AutoYast says "18 packages returned an error". It does not show any details - the detailed list button shows an empty page.
Then it says something about having problems writing the boot record
and
gives a kernel panic when trying to boot the installed system.
Starting a rescue system shows that no kernel or initrd gets installed under '/boot'.
With the netork installation this problem could be solved including:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
<install> <general> <mode><confirm config:type="boolean">false</confirm></mode> ....
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why does this not work with a CD? Please help me, this is urgent!
Thanks, Erik.
