[opensuse-autoinstall] AutoYaST and OpenSUSE 10.3
Hello all, I'm attempting to use AutoYaST on the new OpenSUSE 10.3 bits released yesterday. I've tried both i386 and x86_64. While I guess this is more of a syslinux problem than AutoYaST, someone here might be able to shine some light on the problem I'm seeing. When creating AutoYaST install ISO's, my code puts autoyast.xml and info in the root of initrd. Previous to 10.2, syslinux would automatically find info there, however starting with 10.2 you must specify it implicitly in boot params. That change is outlined here: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/appendix.linuxrc.html What I'm using in isolinux.cfg is: append initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536 splash=silent showopts text netwait=5 autoyast=file:///autoyast.xml info=file:///info On my 10.3 installs, they abort immediately saying "Couldn't find the OpenSUSE repository". Looking at what's logged on virtual console #3 after the install halts, I see: <modules loading> info file: file:///info loading file:/info -> /info error 37: Couldn't open file /info repository: looking for cd:/ <rest snipped, it's a ~16MB minimal ISO created from boot/$ARCH/loader, so no OS depots to be found> Here's what's in /info at the top level of initrd.img: Serverdir: /LinuxCOE/OpenSUSE/10.3/i386/ InstMode: http Server: 192.168.1.1 Textmode: 1 Netdevice: eth0 A manual install pointing at this network source succeeds, and I've tried several different formats for file:/info. I didn't see anything mentioned in the 10.2 -> 10.3 delta document, anyone have an idea what else I can try? The exact say isolinux.cfg and file placement works great on <=10.2 and SLED/SLES.
