Hello, I already created my control file for the Auto install but I'm not sure where to go next. I would like to get things setup so that the control file would be read during installation and avoid use intervention. Any ideas of what/how to do this? Thank you, Marvin H Green Coop/Intern, z/VM System Test IBM - Endicott, NY 13760 Email: mhgreen@us.ibm.com Tel: (607) 429-5964 or T/L 620-5964
Hi
I had initially installed a x86_64 bit machine with
RHEL4 where swap partition is configured as a
logical volume (/dev/VolGroup00/LGVol01).
When reinstalling the system with SLES9 via
autoinstall, just before partitioning the drive, an
error message "Error could not mount swap partition
/dev/VolGroup00/LGVol01" pops up prompting user to
enter "OK" button. Thereafter it works fine.
But this user intervention step defeats the purpose of
autoinstall. I have used the following partitioning
config with <use> tag set to "all". This should have
erased the disks before partitioning right ??

I can reproduce that but I'm sorry to say that I can't fix that for the next service pack. Since everything works fine after you pressed the okay button, please add the following to your profile: In the install section add: <report> <messages> <show config:type="boolean">true</show> <timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout> <log config:type="boolean">true</log> </messages> <errors> <show config:type="boolean">true</show> <timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout> <log config:type="boolean">true</log> </errors> <warnings> <show config:type="boolean">true</show> <timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout> <log config:type="boolean">true</log> </warnings> </report> The error will timeout then. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de

linuxrc needs the "autoyast=path_to_your_profile" parameter. So if you boot from a CD, you have to enter "autoyast=....." at the boot menu prompt. path_to_your_profile can be "http://my.server/my.xml" for example -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
