Yup, that Did it! I added the "install" keyword to the info file, and now it is fine. The documentation, however, says that if I use the "autoyast" keyword that the "install" keyword is unnecessary. Oh well, I am just happy it works now. I think "overjoyed" is more the word. Thanks Anas!

You info file does not have it, do you have it on the command line? I would say yast cant find the installation source and trying DHCP to find it... Anas discip@pjm.com wrote:

This doesn't seem to help. I tried both netsetup=0 and netsetup=-dhcp. Now pops up a window and tells me "your network has already been configured. Do you want to keep this configuration?". Then when I say yes, it tries to DHCP again. :-(

This is something new in 9.1/SLES9. Add netsetup=0 to skip DHCP.

3. Advanced Network Setup

The netsetup keyword allows advanced network configurations and enables dialogs to setup the network where required.

netsetup=1

the normal network setup questions

netsetup=xxx,yyy

just xxx and yyy

netsetup=+xxx,-yyy

default, additionally xxx, but not yyy

xxx could have the following values: dhcp, hostip, gateway, netmask, nameserver. nameserverN asks for N nameservers (max. 4).

For example, the following can be entered on the command line:

netsetup=-dhcp,+nameserver3

No matter what I do to the info file, I still can't get linuxrc to not try to do dhcp on eth0. I look at console number 2 and I see that it has even configured eth0 with the right IP parameters, but it tries to do DHCP anyway. I am trying this with 9.1 now. Same behavior. What gives?

P.S. If you care, my info file looks like this:

insmod: 3c59x netdevice: eth0 DHCP: 0 HostIP: 192.168.1.5 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.1.1 server: 192.168.1.18 autoyast: nfs://192.168.1.18/opt/Linux/SUSE-9/profiles/test.xml
