I'm doing an autoyast install with a SuSE 10.0 DVD. First I have a problem with booting it up. It stops at setting dhcp. I have three NICs in the box. It will not work with the Intel(e1000) and couple of RTL based.
The only way I managed to boot thing up is trough an RTL based NIC and by NFS based install. I chose NFS server and dir, put the autoyast line and system boots but only after it fails to dhcp on intel NIC.
I'm assuming that you're using PXE to pass the install initrd and everything? Assuming so, you might try pausing the PXE process when the Intel NIC is trying to get an IP address, by hitting the "Pause/Break" key on your keyboard. Let it sit for about 30-60 seconds, and then hit space to start the process back up. (This situation -- where the NIC is on a network with DHCP, but doesn't get an address -- can be an indication that negotiation between the NIC and the switch to which it's network is taking a while -- and that the PXE process times out before the link is negotiated and brought up. It's happened with some of my machines, though only in cases where the networking hardware behind them is Cisco)
