1) I tried to hand over some command line options to the kernel, like "dud=http://myserver...." Or "driverupdate=http://myserver....", like described in << http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc#p_dud>> but none of them worked. Then I found <<

the driverupdate is actually not part of autoyast. It's used for autoyast installations sometimes to fix a bug in autoyast itself but it's not an autoyast mechanism. This links http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc is the right one
As far as I understood, linuxrc looks for the info file but if this fails it looks for additional parameters on the kernel commandline. Could it be that "dud" or "driverupdate" isn't supported in SLES10SP2?
that's right. driverupdates on remote sources is not supported in SLES10 So Manfred's solution is the only one I have in mind too. Besides putting it on a floppy disk which is kind of archaic since there are hardly any of those left in modern machines. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
