Today, however, I'm trying to reinstall the first PC - and am getting nowhere. It starts the install, I can see the message "searching for info file" (or suchlike) on the screen and the floppy drive spins up. Then it proceeds into the graphical installer (my auto-install uses text-only) and prepares for auto-installation (so it *must* have found the info file as such) - but hangs, asking for a profile for the machine.
at that stage, switch to the console via CTRL+ALT+F2 and take a look at /etc/install.inf That file should reflect some info file parameter including the autoyast=... line and the "InstMode","Serverdir" and "ServerIP" for remote installations. If that looks good, take a look at "/var/log/YaST2/y2log" too. Near to the end you should see what autoyast has tried to get the profile. Maybe you can see some errors logged there. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
