I was able to get the autoinstall past the "28% hangup" by switching my AutoYast: specification in the info file to floppy:///autoinst.xml I now get to the screen "Preparing system for automated installation"and the arrow points to "Configure software selections." A dialog appears, telling me that it could not set base selection "Minimal." My autoinst.xml file contains the line <base>Minimal</base> Is this because it is looking for the suse/setup/descr/selections file on the floppy? The documentation doesn't say. As with the invalid XML problem from yesterday, it will be nice to know of a workaround. But that's not the point. If I'm using YaST2's autoinstall to create the autoinst.xml file, it should *always* create a valid file. If I select "minimal" configuration from the GUI, then the autoinstall process should be able to recognize it. Otherwise, what use is the GUI? -- J. David Eisenberg http://catcode.com/
<base>Minimal</base>

I had this same issue yesterday. Base was set to Minimal, and that actually wasn't the problem. The real problem was that I had <addon>MINIMAL</addon> about 3 lines above the base tag. I removed this and the installation succeeded. See if you have that tag as well as the <base>Minimal</base> tag. Having said this, I now have a problem where the installation completes, grub starts, the boot starts, but it crashes with a message saying that it is unable to find root :( -- Wayne Pascoe
