I'm having a problem with the password section of the autoinst.xml file. That section of my .xml file is:

<users config:type="list" > <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean" >false</encrypted> <user_password>123456</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> </users>

After installation, I can log in successfully as root with no password.

I have reproduced this behaviour and it is a bug. It is fixed now. As a workaround you can use a pre-encrypted password which is also 'more' secure than having the cleartext password in the control file. More info and an update package can be found here: http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/bugs.html Regards, Anas
