Hi Guys, I still having problem using autoinstall on SuSE 10 PPC on IBM LPAR. I have tftpboot set up pointing to inst64 image and parameters passed: mkzimage_cmdline -a 1 -c -s "insmod=ibmveth hostip=10.1.245.201 netmask=255.255.0.0 install=nfs://10.1.5.130/images/SUSE10PPC autoyast=nfs://10.1.5.130/images/SUSE10PPC/autoinst.xml" inst64 I use a very simple profile file (I've tried a few combinations): <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> <software> <base>default</base> </software> <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted> <user_password>test123</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> </users> </profile> The partition boots, and I can see in the logs that the NFS partition gets mounted and the a get the error below. Search on Google for the error didn't shed any light on the source of the problem.

Don't know about the terminal you have connected, but try adding "vnc=1 vncpassword=install" to your mkzimage_cmdline call. Then yast2 will not start a local terminal but a vnc server and you can connect with "vncviewer your_host:1" and password "install" to the yast screen. Maybe that circumvents the core dump in this case. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
