Hi list, I successfully installed my suse 9.2 servers via PXE boot, autoyast and an XML file. Now one of the machines seems to have trouble during the install - it just hangs (perhaps a bug in my test xml file). To avoid this in situations where I have no physical access to the machine I tried: usessh=1 and sshpassword=password as kernel parameters. (just to have a "backdoor" to reset the machine if it hangs...) When I now start an automated install the machine boots but WAITS for the ssh user to log on and start yast by hand, which isn´t quite practically during automated install ;-) How do I get access via SSH during install and still have fully automatic install? Thanks for your help! Daniel
Hey, you can use a script to setup ssh, see for example: http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoyast2/scripts/setup_ssh and in the control file, I run it using something like that: <pre-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <location>http://192.168.1.31/scripts/setup_ssh</location> <name>setup_ssh</name> </script> </pre-scripts> Anas Daniel wrote:
