auto-installing with patched OS
I need to autoinstall a patched 2.6.8-24.11-default kernel (including patched utils) for Suse 9.2. The stock kernel is 2.6.8-24.10-default, but I can't find out how to patch/update to 2.6.8-24.11-default. How is the best accomplished? thanks, Mark

Page 28 of the AutoYast manual explains how to install a different kernel but I think that only works if the that "different" kernel is part of the SuSE distro. In my case, I am doing it in the post install scripts and then I reboot the machine to load the correct kernel. AutoYast will continue with the normal installation even if you reboot the machine in the middle. -- Mitko Haralanov mitko@pathscale.com http://www.pathscale.com ========================================== Remember the good old days, when CPU was singular?
Hi, I have a script for doing this you might want to try, see http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoyast2/scripts/create_update_source.sh The script itself has some additional info on how to use it. The script uses the multiple source feature known from SLES, it will register multiple sources and the latest version of packages available in the original source and the new source will be installed. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. any feedback is welcome. Anas Mark Acosta wrote:
