I'm using the files from the x86_64 cds. If I install from the CD I don't get the same error message popped up. I checked and the info.txt file is there and also the other files mentioned in Anas's AutoYast guide. So something else must be going wrong here.

I'm trying to auto install SLES9 on a x86_64 box. The same procedure works on a x86 box but fails on the x86_64 box. The only difference between the two is the installation location on isolinux.cfg.

Here are the problems:

1. At startup the installer says "You are trying to install 32 bit OS on a 64 bit machine". I've to press "Continue" to move to the next. I've copied the files (initrd, linux...) from the x86_64 loader CD, so I'm not sure why I'm getting the error. You must use the correct cd set for amd64 ;=))

2. After the config file is retrieved YAST proceeds and gets stuck on the Software installation part. The error message is "Could not set base installation: Minimal". What have you done with info.txt ? Move your info.txt to _info.txt and touch info.txt.This file must me there !

Here's the config entry

<software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>Base-System</addon> <addon>YaST2</addon> </addons> <base>Minimal</base> </software>

Thanks Andy
