[opensuse-autoinstall] Responding to errors during the autoyast install of OES2
Hi, I've created an autoyast profile to install an OES2 server into our existing eDirectory tree that works fine. However, when performing a manual server install we occasionally experience problems during the eDirectory section whereby an LDAP error message is displayed, followed by the choice of F1 to re-enter the eDirectory details, F2 to retry or Abort to call it a day. This error now also occasionally appears when using Autoyast, but whereas during a manual install it's possible to get around this by doing some stuff from the console and then hitting F2, when using Autoyast the F1/F2 keys don't seem to be responded to correctly (F1 the install just continues regardless, F2 doesn't appear to retry), so it's impossible to complete the install successfully. The error that we get during the eDirectory install is not going to be easily resolved, so I was therefore wondering if there was anything that could be done to make Autoyast either respond correctly to the F1/F2 keys, or to stop the automatic nature of the install, so that the eDirectory problems can be resolved and the installation completed manually?

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I have played with the timeouts, although it's not the displaying of the error message that's the problem - it displays fine and waits for you to press F1 or F2 as it would with a manual install, it's what it does after that that's the problem. I'd figured that it was an inevitable consequence of autoyast, in that it's not expecting to have to redo part of the install, but you think it should be able to deal with this?

sounds a bit like a (design?) bug in the yast module. Maybe you should file a bugreport. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
