Thank you very much for the documentation. Some more information on the broken installation: It looks like it is the *same* problem that existed for 13.1: the add-on section. I did two installations, with this diff between xmls: ------- --- test.xml 2014-10-21 17:05:15.000000000 +0200 +++ test.xml.broken 2014-10-21 17:05:04.000000000 +0200 @@ -4,7 +4,14 @@ <add-on> - <add_on_products config:type="list"/> + <add_on_products config:type="list"> + <listentry> + <media_url><![CDATA[http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lnt-sysadmin:/tools/openSUSE_13.2/]]></media_url> + <name>OpenSUSE13.2_HTTP_OBS:lnt-sysadmin:tools</name> + <product>OpenSUSE13.2 HTTP OBS:lnt-sysadmin:tools</product> + <product_dir>/</product_dir> + </listentry> + </add_on_products> </add-on> ------- The installation *with* the add-on section specified is broken! This looks pretty identical to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846011 Shall I reopen or create new report? As there are only 13 days to release, is there any chance to get this fixed before GM? -Joschi Brauchle On 10/21/2014 11:28 AM, Stefan Schubert wrote:

Hello Stefan,
I am currently trying to figure out what is going wrong with the 13.1 xml profile in 13.2. The installation is completely broken without any (gui) errors during the process.
But if I create a new profile for 13.2 from scratch, auto installation works fine. Thus, I'd like to revise my statement about Autoyast being broken, it is clearly not!
One question: Is there an up-to-date website that lists the changes from AY 13.1 to 13.2?
Google results: 1) http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/ is about SLES11SP3 (which is strange as it is hosted by opensuse.org). 2) https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/singlehtml/book_autoyast/book_auto... the same 3) http://users.suse.com/~ug/ is outdated as of 12.2.
There seem to be a lot of changes to the installer (plus new modules like yast2-auth-client to configure sssd) but no documentation to be found (easily) for users...
Thanks, Joschi Brauchle

So far it looks like a 13.1 XML used for 13.2 results in a broken installation (i.e. all second stage steps are missing). I'll provide more information as soon as I know whats going wrong.
Possibly, Thomas Fehr could comment on how the second stage works in 13.2 and what steps are needed to get it working, as it looks like it was dropped from the regular installer? I am currently on a sabattical for a year that started 1.4.2014 . Therefore my knowledge about developments that happened in the last some months is quite limited.
Autoyast maintainer is Stefan Schubert <schubi@suse.de>. I forwarded this thread to him.
Tschuess, Thomas Fehr
