Hallo Anas, hallo list!

I am trying to install sles8 with service pack 2 in an automated way. The kernel and the inird from the sp2-CD (chosen because of hardware support) are booted via pxe. When checking the software selection I always get a long list of dependency errors beginning with "aaa_skel not available..." and so on. Please help and tell me how I can do better! I suppose it has nothing to do with the /UnitedLinux-i386-1 directory, but maybe I am wrong... My nfs-exported directory for linuxrc looks like this:

|--boot | `--loader |--content (file from sles8) |--media.1 (from sles8) |--sles8 | |--UnitedLinux | |--boot | |--docu | |--dosutils | |--media.1 | |--media.2 | |--media.3 | |--suse | `--yast |--sp2 | |--UnitedLinux | |--boot | |--docu | |--i386 | |--images | |--linux | `--media.1 `--yast |--ul |--instorder (file) `--order (file)

I011-52:/autoinst/suse/sles8sp2/yast # cat order /sles8 /sles8 /sp2 /sp2 I011-52:/autoinst/suse/sles8sp2/yast # cat instorder # I want to prefer sp2 packages if possible /sp2 /sp2 /sles8 /sles8

Thanks a lot, Martin

Hi, It can be done in an automated way. For example, my nfs export for SLES8 i386 with SP2 looks like this:

|-- SP2 | |-- UnitedLinux | |-- boot | |-- docu | |-- i386 | |-- images | |-- linux | `-- media.1 |-- SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386-8 | `-- CD1 | |-- boot | |-- docu | |-- media.1 | |-- suse | `-- yast |-- UnitedLinux-i386-1 | |-- CD1 | | |-- UnitedLinux | | |-- boot | | |-- docu | | |-- dosutils | | `-- media.1 | `-- CD2 | |-- UnitedLinux | |-- boot | `-- media.2 |-- boot | `-- loader |-- media.1 `-- yast `-- ul

in the directory yast, there are 2 files: order and instorder This is the content which references the location of the root of every source. (where the media.1 directory is available)

# cat yast/instorder /UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1 /UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1 /SP2 /SP2 /SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386-8/CD1 /UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1

avicenna:/work/CDs/sles8-i386 # cat yast/order /SP2 /SP2 /SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386-8/CD1 /SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386-8/CD1 /UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1 /UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1

(delimiter is tab)

Hope that helps...

Is there a method for incorporating a service pack into an auto install of SLES8.

I tried putting the service pack in its own directory in my auto install

...

repository and giving it preference in the order and instorder directories. The install starts ok but, after package install I get alot of package install failures. After hitting ok to the fail log it prompts me to insert the service pack cdrom.

I thought about just replacing the original packages with the new ones from the service pack but, I would like to keep the service pack separate from the original repository so I can install without it if I want.

thanks
