AutoYaST problems with SuSE 10.1

31 May 2006

      I created my 10.1 installation depot (i386 & x86_64) by mounting the
retail DVD and cp -ar.  This has worked great in the past for the non
enterprise releases, and I can install manually against the depot, but
autoyast installations all fail when they attempt to resolve the
software section.

I tried using a 'clone' of my manual install, as well as a very simple
<software> section with only <base>default-Gnome</base>.  No matter
what's in autoyast.xml, the installs fail at the same place.  Thinking I
had a problem with my depot, I even pointed at one of the internet
mirrors.  No Joy.

Here are snippets of y2log on the machines when they fail, and a working
one when I did the install manually (the one I cloned).  For some reason
when autoyast is in play, it says it cannot create the mountpoint due
to:

"Create attach point: attach root is not a writable directory:
'/var/adm/mount'".

After failure, I've pushed a shell and verified I can create a directory
and touch a file there.  When using HTTP, there are no 404's in the log
that are unexpected (basically the same ones as during manual).  I tried
increasing the ramdisk size to 64M thinking maybe it was out of space,
no luck there either.

Any ideas?  I'm stumped!  I can provide full logfiles and my
autoyast.xml file on request, but it's pretty simple, and from the error
it appears no matter what's in there it wasn't going to be able to
resolve the software section as it fails to create the mountpoint where
it would mount media.1/products, etc.
