Hello Uwe, I will try and let you know! Just one more thing that **looks** related, but maybe is not. My autoinstall hangs during the "Configuring System according to auto-install settings", at the step "Configuring lan". y2log says (truncated the citation): -------- 2012-08-06 17:50:05 <1> test122(4646) [Interpreter] network/services/host.ycp:375 Calling YaST client lan_auto 2012-08-06 17:50:05 <1> test122(4646) [YCP] clients/lan_auto.ycp:14 ---------------------------------------- 2012-08-06 17:50:05 <1> test122(4646) [YCP] clients/lan_auto.ycp:15 Lan autoinst client started 2012-08-06 17:50:05 <1> test122(4646) [YCP] Lan.ycp:377 Writing configuration .... 2012-08-06 17:50:11 <1> test122(4646) [YCP] Service.ycp:455 Restarting service network 2012-08-06 17:50:11 <1> test122(4646) [YCP] Service.ycp:299 Running service initscript network restart -------- When I go to a terminal and type "ps aux", I see: -------- root 902 0.0 0.0 21552 2080 tty1 Ss+ 17:47 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.Second-Stage root 3960 0.0 0.0 21684 2112 tty1 S+ 17:47 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.call installation continue root 4585 0.5 0.4 150384 18632 tty7 Ss+ 17:47 0:02 \_ Xorg -noreset -br -deferglyphs 16 vt07 root 4646 5.0 5.5 687100 221572 tty1 Sl+ 17:47 0:25 \_ y2base installation ("continue") qt --noborder --auto-fonts --fullscreen root 4800 0.0 0.0 21568 1940 tty1 S+ 17:47 0:00 \_ /bin/bash /usr/lib/YaST2/servers_non_y2/ag_initscripts root 4910 0.0 0.1 22588 6024 tty1 S+ 17:47 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/YaST2/servers_non_y2/ag_modinfo root 11705 0.0 4.5 687100 181092 tty1 S+ 17:50 0:00 \_ y2base installation ("continue") qt --noborder --auto-fonts --fullscreen root 11706 0.0 4.5 687096 181096 tty1 S+ 17:50 0:00 \_ y2base installation ("continue") qt --noborder --auto-fonts --fullscreen root 11707 0.0 0.0 21416 1768 tty1 S+ 17:50 0:00 \_ /bin/bash /sbin/service network restart root 11708 0.0 0.0 26236 1060 tty1 S+ 17:50 0:00 \_ systemctl restart network.service root 11709 0.0 0.0 14780 812 tty1 S+ 17:50 0:00 \_ /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch -------- I have to kill the service restart command in order for the installation to continue.

Another init script is included with its source in the XML file, and this is running fine. Hence, it looks like the problem lies in mounting the remote NFS path when running the init scripts...?

autoyast was not able to mount the NFS server. Can you try to debug that? Write a chroot-script (chrooted=true, feedback=true, debug=true) that mounts the nfs share. Does that also fail?

Autoyast tries to mount with "-o noatime,nolock" and if that fails: "-o noatime -t nfs4"

I ran an chrooted chroot script with feedback, that was supposed to do a ----- host <NFS server> mount -t nfs .... <something from the NFS server> ----- where the first command fails with a timeout and the second says it cannot resolve the hostname.

I did not test this exakt script under 11.4, but I definitely know that the <location>nfs://...</location> used to work for me for chroot and init scripts there.

Just a stupid question: Do I need to turn on networking in stage2 under 12.2. somehow that was not needed/different under 11.4?

Disclaimer: I haven't tested 12.2 yet, hopefully I'll be able to do that this or next week. (For now, I'll just assume the 12.1 problems persist.) If the network is completely down, I'd assume a problem with systemd. Do you use final_reboot or did you reboot manually and does the script work after the reboot?

Not to be pity but a valid ifocnfig simply means that the network card is configured but does not mean that the correct card is selected nor that the card is working. At least a single ping to the gateway IP should be done for testing and be aware that some cards need some time to getting active ...

Hello Uwe, that's good news. For me it looks like the /etc/resolv.conf is indeed empty like Christopher mentioned (at least inside the chrooted system, did not check outside). If I manually add a nameserver, the chroot script can mount the NFS server. Still, the *next* chroot script is not correctly pulled from the NFS, I get the same original error there: "mount failed". I guess YaST runs outside the chroot, and there is a similar problem DNS there? Also, the (possibly related) problem that YaST hangs at the next step "Configuring lan" and the process list suggests that systemd is waiting for some kind of password/input (process name is: "/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch") persists after creating a valid resolv.conf.

I just started testing 12.2RC2 and noticed to following. There are multiple custom user scripts in my XML file, all of which get pulled from an NFS server.

I started to reproduce your issue here and it looks like it's a bug triggered by a fix I've added to workaround problems with systemd. I hope I can fix that in time for 12.2 Thanks for the report
