Installing Suse Ent 11.

1)

On a Dell 2950 and an IBM x3250 it says creating 2gb (super long string) sw= ap..

Then creating raid partition (super long string for /) error code -3030.. I= t works for other newer sas drives in x3650's etc..

can you please try: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <use>all</use> <zero_new_partitions config:type="boolean">false</zero_new_partitions> </drive> </partitioning> it's an undocumented fallback which actually should never be used but in this case it might help :-/ If it does not help, we need logs and a bugzilla entry please.

2) On my x3650 it installs but during initial boot it doesn't start network= ing (fails configuring the correct NIC as eth0, it trys eth0_ncs) so it tri= es to get package sles release from my

http://install location and fails due to lack of networking..

Anyway around this?

do you use post-scripts with network_needed set to true? Then it's a bug which is fixed in SP1. Try to use a post-script with network_needed set to false or an init-script. Everything else than a post-script with network_needed=true is fine.

3) Trying to execute a custom .sh script to configure (hostname/static ip/e= tc). I have been unable using the post-script or init-script portion of aut= oyast.. Is there a way to insert the script for initial boot?

init-scripts and post-scripts (except for the case mentioned above) are working fine in SLES11. There must be something wrong in your config but that's hard to say without XML or/and logs. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Sleeping with Ghosts" by Placebo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
