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
