zSeries Autoyast Differences?
Trying to Autoyast install a z990 linux guest with SLES9 SP3. Depending on whether I use a vnc vs a ssh install screen, I get different results. When the parmfile specifies INST_SCREEN=VNC, the installation appears to start, and when I vnc into the installing guest, I see the install progressing. When I specify SSH however, I receive the: *** run 'yast' to start the installation *** message on my 3270 screen, and when I ssh into the installing system, I need to invoke yast to start the autoinstall. Shouldn't the "autoinstall" be kicked of regardless of the install screen option?

I don't know very much about z990 but if you say usessh=1, a ssh daemon is started and you can login from remote to start the installation with "yast". The installation will not start on it's own with usessh=1 -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
