[opensuse-autoinstall] dns resolution during install
Hi, is there a way to use server names instead of the ip addresses for the installation source? Snipset from linuxrc.conf: #Nameserver: 192.168.198.100 #Gateway: 192.168.198.100 #Netmask: 255.255.255.0 #Broadcast: 192.168.198.255 Install: smb://DEMOSRV.demo.dom/share/foo AutoYaST: file:///autoyast.xml This results in the message 'dns: what is demosrv.demo.dom'. Even pinging the server doesn't work. If I exchange the server name with its ip address everything works as expected. The client gets its network parameters via dhcp. /etc/resolv.conf etc. seems to be properly filled. Next I added some network parameters to linuxrc.conf. Doesn't change the behaviour. Even worse in the summary printed on the console the broadcast address is now noted as 0.0.0.255. Any hints?

I don't know if there is a way but why do you want to use .local? It's reserved for link-local configuration. It's not a good idea to use it for something else than that. -- 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

I don't know if there is a way but why do you want to use .local? sometimes its the choice of the customer, not mine.
It's reserved for link-local configuration. It's not a good idea to use it for something else than that. In the installed system this seems not to be such a problem. Maybe exchanging the resolver libs in the installation system does the trick?
