Greetings,

we're experiencing the following strange issue:

We (re-)install our laptops using a USB boot stick and AutoYAST profiles on an HTTP server. Since openSUSE 11.x, we've used the openSUSE-*-DVD-type ISOs for this: - Put the image on the stick (with dd), - boot, enter "autoyast=http://foo/bar", - laptop gets IP and DNS via DHCP, - AutoYAST fetches the profile for the MAC of the laptop and installs… great!

For some reason, with openSUSE Leap 42.3 and 42.2 (haven't tested more, but my documentation indicates it worked with 42.1), there's a problem with the DVD-flavour ISOs. If we use these on our boot stick, then during bootup eth0 won't be brought up, won't get IP and DNS info and hence AutoYAST is unable to fetch the profile and install successfully. […] Once we use the NET-flavour ISOs for our boot stick, it works as expected. Is this expected behaviour? Is it a known issue?

Thanks for your reply, the result seems to be the same though, the interface does not come up… y2start does contain a line: […] declare -x netdevice="eth0" …but grepping "net\|eth" etc. from y2log only results in the two lines: […] install([…]) [Ruby] modules/NetworkService.rb:3{03,20}: IPv{4,6} network is not running ... /var/log/messages shows the correct commandline, the network card driver is loaded[0], but it is not brought up and no clue what might be wrong, "ip a" shows eth0 as DOWN. (When I additionally append "netsetup=1" to the boot parameters, autoyast prompts me whether to use DHCP (maybe that's expected, I don't know) and succeeds if I confirm.) Anything else I can do to debug this further? [0]: tested on two laptops: - Laptop 1 (Sony Vaio): kernel recognizes card as "r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI […]" (and AutoYAST as "Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller\n drivers: r8169*") - Laptop 2 (Dell Latitude): kernel recognizes card as "Tigon3 [partno(BCM95761e) rev 5761100] (PCI Express)" (and AutoYAST as "Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5761e Gigabit Ethernet PCIe\n drivers: tg3*") -- Kind regards Christopher 'm4z' Holm / 686f6c6d "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." --H.
