[opensuse-autoinstall] TR: opensuse 11 autoyast no IP address after reboot (and other autoyast questions)
Hello, We have an autoyast file we created and when we boot with the DVD and type in the appropriate NFS paths to it and the installation source (NFS as well) the system installs and then reboots before doing some other tasks. However after that reboot the machine doesnt get an IP address and we have to stop installation there. We know the dhcp server is working, otherwise it wouldnt proceed to install in the first place. At first our autoyast didnt have a network configured but even after we added one it does the same. Any hints on what could be wrong? Were also having problem with the NIS authentication and root password. After starting the autoyast we make it stop at the configuration screen and it shows that root password isnt set and the authentication doesnt seem to be NIS. We configured those with yast but it just doesnt seem to be used. I read that in opensuse 10.3 we could make a manual installation and ask it to create an autoyast file, is it still possible to do that with opensuse 11? I didnt find the option anywhere and most searches I do return results for 10.3. Should i include the autoyast configuration file in here? I tried in my previous message but it got rejected. Thanks for the help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
Dual NICs? We have about thirty systems (all same model) that routinely switch their NIC numbering during that first reboot - NIC1 becomes NIC2, 2 becomes 1. I now cabel both NICs and enable PXE in the BIOS for both. Weird, eh? Mike Diehn Sr. SysAdmin mike.diehn@ansys.com +1-603-727-5492

Yes that was it. I had checked when it was stopped that eth0 was the one that was connected but apparently that wasn't enough. Since we're only using one of the interfaces and one of them was on board we wimply disabled that one and install worked correctly. Thanks for the help.
