[opensuse-autoinstall] Strange behaviour with confirm=false
Hello I've been using autoyast since openSUSE 10.2 and it's a great tool. Thanks to every single developer who contributed to it. While re-testing all the custom control files we use at the lab with Leap 42.3 release I have noticed a strange behaviour with the option 'confirm' that controls unattended installation. Here's my scenario : GPT partition table with bios boot (not efi), custom partitioning but nothing silly, then various options. Whatever I add to the control file the installation process works flawlessly until I finish testing it. Then I turn it to unattended with the following directive : <confirm config:type="boolean"> false </confirm> The installation with full control file goes well but the system won't reboot (no valid boot device). After a bit of search I noticed that it is related to the pmbr_boot flag on the disk not being set. Adding it manually with parted solves the problem so as a workaround I added a very simple chroot-script to make it. Since I thought I had probably messed up something I did a lot of testing to reproduce it (even with minimal control file) and figured that the confirm option is the issue. I can't figure how it would affect the bootlader part of the process after package installation but it does. Anyone have any idea or should I simply fill a bug report ?

Hi Laurent, We've seen this issue recently too (in Bugzilla). It's caused by running the proposal because of the confirm mode. In such case, bootloader ignores some settings from the AutoYaST profile and tries to be smart and then fails. Removing the confirm=true fixes the problem. Josef (in Cc) should be able to answer your questions more precisely.

Hello
Thanks Lukas for your reply. I'm glad to hear it's been noticed (although I can't find it
on bugzilla).
I'll assume the bug is
