Correct/best way to specify path to autoyast
Hello, we create an iso image of an installation media. This can be used for burning an DVD or for copying it on an usb key. What is the best way to append an "autoyast=" line? Atm. we use two files for syslinux and isolinux, but I wan't to simplify it. But when I use "autoyast=file:///autoyast.xml" the file could not be found, when I start from USB. When I add "autoyast=usb:///autoyast.xml" it can't be found when starting from DVD. So is there a config which lets yast search it on alle media?

According to https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP4/single-html/SLES-autoyast/index.h... you shouldn't need any path at all: When no control file specification is needed ... For new installations, autoyast will be started if a file named autoinst.xml is in one of the following three locations: The root directory of the installation flash disk (for example, a USB stick) The root directory of the installation medium The root directory of the initial RAM disk used to boot the system So if you name it autoinst.xml instead of autoyast.xml and place in the root dir of the USB or DVD it should work. At a different place in above URL you can also find: Alternatively, you can place the autoinst.xml to a device, mounted either physically or virtually, that is labeled OEMDRV. In this case, you do not need to specify the location of the autoinst.xml on the kernel command line. The autoinst.xml must be located in the root directory of the device. So it's not clear of the OEMDRV label is needed or not, you might just try :-) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
