Server OS and repository versions must match?
Hello, I have been using (since a couple of month ago and without significant problems) a server repository to network-install clients. The server ran SuSe 8.1 and had a SuSE 8.1 repository. The problems arise when changing server OS to SuSE 8.2, but without changing the repository (SuSE 8.1). Now, when I try to network-install a SuSE 8.1 client system, I get a error message telling me about problems with 'so' (dynamic libraries) files. The things seems starting to fail after "integrating the shared objects of the installation system...". The next message in the console log is "ld cannot mmap /usr/lib/lib.opt.so.0", followed by several similar message about other so libraries and a halt. Is not possible to have a SuSE 8.2 to serve a SuSE 8.1 repostory? Must match OS and repository version in the server? Any idea or suggestion? Thanks in advance! --------- Fermín

This cant be true! You can use a windows machine or even a mac server. The underlying server software repository should not matter at all. Check your settings, something else might be wrong.. Anas
Any idea or suggestion? Thanks in advance!

I finally solved the problem. The weird error was related (inexplicably for my knowledge) with DHCP server configuration! The key at http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2003-Apr/0060.html Error messages of the SuSE installer should be more verbose. A "an error occurred during the installation" message doesn't give you very help about was is the cause of the error (I also had should be more "verbose" in my explanation, like Ulrike was :) Thanks! ------- Fermín
