Re: [suse-autoinstall] SLES 8 + SP3(i386) autoinstall failed when writing LILO boot sector
Hi Frank, You wrote, you solved the the problem. What was the reason? I have the same problem, I think. The log says ..unable to stat //boot/vmlinuz.. which seems to me, that some env-variable is not set correctly. cu Kai

I have not been following this thread, but I have recently had some problems with stat that may help. In most cases, /boot/vmlinuz is a symlink to the true vmlinuz file. If the application stat'ing the file is written using lstat, vice stat, then it will report the symlink's data, and not the true file's data. The solution may be to cp the true vmlinuz over /boot/vmlinuz, or re- write the app source to use stat vice lstat. Perhaps your problem is related? --Jonathon Robison On Fri, 2004-08-13 at 16:00 +0200, Krieger-Juhnke, Kai wrote:
