SLES10-RC1 autoinstall directory layout changed?
I was able to layout the directory tree for a SLES10 Build 9 to install on our PXE server by providing the following links at the top of the tree: autoyast.xml boot -> sles10/boot content -> sles10/content content.asc -> sles10/content.asc content.key -> sles10/content.key control.xml -> sles10/control.xml media.1 -> sles10/media.1 sles10 suse -> sles10/suse Where ./sles10 has the contents of the DVD. I reproduce this exactly for the SLES10-RC1 DVD and 2 issues occur: 1) installation stops at the "Preparing System for Automated Installation" screen on the "Configure Software Selections" bullet as it can't find selection "default". I'm using the same autoyast.xml file as I did for SLES10 Build 9. Furthermore, putting ethereal on the PXE server, the last access for a file was a failure for the file 'repodata' at the top of the tree. There is no 'repodata' file/directory on the DVD, so I can't link to anything. 2) If I say to continue anway (after the selection failure), it stops at the "Finish Basic Installation" screen at the "Install Boot Manager" bullet, with 72% on the completion bar (having the title "Creating initrd..."). This looks like a similar (previously fixed) problem where I didn't have the link to the 'boot' directory at the top of the tree. Anyone else see any problems with this on SLES10 RC1? Note that I generated the DVD from the seperate CD images using makeSUSEdvd. Thanks in advance. Pete

try this: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2006-Apr/0052.html in your autoyast profile. If that helps, that signatures are broken on your new built DVD.
