New subject: [suse-autoinstall] autoyast2, Suse 9.1 Pro and resolv.conf

17 Jun 2004

      Hi,

I've just discovered Suse and autoyast2 (we are switching from Redhat and
Systemimager for deployment) and I've have one problem. With yast2, I
create a xml file for autoyast and everything works fine except for
/etc/resolv.conf. The computer has the right IP address, the right gateway
but no /etc/resolv.conf. I use static IP and here is an extract of my
configuration file :

<networking>
      <dns>
        <dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_hostname>
        <dhcp_resolv config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_resolv>
        <domain>equities.net.intra</domain>
        <hostname>cg99-005</hostname>
        <nameservers config:type="list">
          <nameserver>10.252.0.228</nameserver>
          <nameserver>10.252.0.248</nameserver>
        </nameservers>
        <searchlist config:type="list">
          <search>equities.net.intra</search>
        </searchlist>
      </dns>
      <interfaces config:type="list">
        <interface>
          <bootproto>static</bootproto>
          <broadcast>10.252.82.255</broadcast>
          <device>eth0</device>
          <ipaddr>10.252.82.231</ipaddr>
          <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
          <network>10.252.82.0</network>
          <startmode>onboot</startmode>
        </interface>
      </interfaces>
      <modules config:type="list">
        <module_entry>
          <device>eth0</device>
          <module>bcm5700</module>
          <options></options>
        </module_entry>
      </modules>
      <routing>
        <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward>
        <routes config:type="list">
          <route>
            <destination>default</destination>
            <device>-</device>
            <gateway>10.252.82.1</gateway>
            <netmask>-</netmask>
          </route>
        </routes>
      </routing>
    </networking>

I've read some mails on this list and see it seems I can remove the
<module_entry> (moreover, the tg3 driver is used instead on my IBM x335)
but I've not tested that at te moment. Does anyone have an idea about the
non-creation of the /etc/resolv.conf ? Where I can search logs for more
information ? I'm using dhcp+pxe+nfs to boot the system and install it

Thanks

Nicolas
