Re: [suse-autoinstall] Using autoyast=file:// with CDROM based file, broken?
You have to use the autoyast in isolinux.cfg as
follows.
autoyast=file:///d8.
If d8 is present in the "installroot" directory
itself.
here "installroot" denotes the base directory of CD or
DVD.
consider if d8 is present in some directory
"Installroot/custom" u have to use the autoyast as
follows
autoyast=file:///custom/d8.
--- Dax Kelson
I have a custom CDROM I burnt with the following contents:
isolinux.bin isolinux.cfg linux initrd d8 <--- my autoyast control file
In my isolinux.cfg I have:
label sl93ay kernel linux append initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536 splash=silent showopts install=nfs://10.100.0.254/export/netinstall/SL9.3 ip=10.100.0.8 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.100.0.254 nameserver=10.100.0.254 textmode=1 autoyast=file://d8
The last part, "autoyast=file://d8" I came up with based on the documentation here:
http://yast.suse.com/autoinstall/9.1/html/invoking_autoinst.html
When I try to use this, I an error message during the:
=> Retrieve Read Control File
stage
A dialog pops up and says, "A profile for this machine could not be found or retrieved..." and a box where I delete and replace the file:=//d8
Isn't this supposed to work?
Any help great appreciated.

Is the installroot the patch specified with the "install=" parameter? I would like to reference the CDROM I'm booting from. Dax Kelson Guru Labs

I tried with three slashes, eg, file:///d8 and I'm still getting the error. Is this supposed to work? I'm trying to do a NFS based autoyast install, but I'm booting off a CDROM I created that only contains the 5 files: isolinux.bin isolinux.cfg linux initrd d8 <--- my autoyast control file In my isolinux.cfg I have: label sl93ay kernel linux append initrd=initrd install=nfs://10.100.0.254/export/netinstall/SL9.3 ip=10.100.0.8 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.100.0.254 nameserver=10.100.0.254 textmode=1 autoyast=file:///d8 I still get an error saying it can't read the file. If I place the autoyast file on a NFS server and change the autoyast= like to point to it, it installs OK. So I know the syntax is valid inside the "d8" file. Dax Kelson Guru Labs
