oh, I see. You are trying to install via HTTPS. I was thinking you only want to read the XML file. Installation about https I never tried and I'd have to check the zypp backend how it handles certificates but it looks like it does not accept self signed certificates. You'd have to manipulate the initrd or the inst-sys via driverupdate and put your CA into /etc/ssl/certs Then it should work. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net listening to: "Fading Light" by In Strict Confidence -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Hi Uwe, a few comments to installations via https: First it is not an easy going like most times :-). To configure addon installation sources for https transport following steps are necessary: 1. unpack your initrd somewhere 2. copy your ca certificate in pem format into /etc/ssl/certs 2. call c_rehash <unpacked initrd_path>/etc/ssl/certs 3. create /root/.curlrc with following content: --capath = /etc/ssl/certs/ 4. pack your initrd 5. copy your initrd into your installation source Unfortunately above procedure is only working with add_on products. If you specify the main installation source via https you get a non working netsetup. I included netsetup=1, ssh=1 and other parameters. But I have not been asked for any network parameter. I even tried to specify all parameters at boot prompt like netmask, hostip, gateway but it did not work either. I always end with a message: "could not find the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Repository ..." There seems to be some routine which bypasses the whole netsetup when installation source is specified with HTTPS. When I change it to HTTP everything works like expected. And I get the add_on_product HTTPS. Any clue how to solve the problem with the installation source? Thanks, Jochen
