Autoyast network configuration: "ifcfg-eth--" invalid configuration file.
Hello, I've set up a SuSE install server to automatically install around 15 servers.Everything is working except one crucial thing, the network configuration. I've been struggling with this for hours, and already did so many installs in a test machine that I am close to just giving up on it and just do the network configuration manually on every server. The error is always the same: everything works great (congrats to SuSE and autoyast developers in particular) until it tries to bring up the network that was configured: it becomes obvious from the messages that eth0 and eth1 aren't configured and that instead a single "eth--" interface was created. It stays some seconds "Waiting for mandatory interface: eth--". Upon reboot and a closer inspection a "/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth--" exists with the network details of the first interface configured in the autoyast profile. No other interface configuration file is present. I'm still not entirely proficient on the way network configurations are done in SuSE, but something is clearly amiss. I'm attaching my autoyast profile; it's one of the many variations I have been using: with 1 or 2 interfaces, with and without the "modules" part, with and without the routing, etc. Every time I get the same error. I would welcome any help with this; I found a previous mention of something that looks the same problem at http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2005-Jan/0104.html , but, alas, no solution. Best regards, Frederico Muñoz PS: For future reference, are all the fields (network, broadcast...) in the profile required or can I assume that with the IP address and the netmaks the other values will be extrapolated?
