SLES 8 + SP3(i386) autoinstall failed when writing LILO boot sector
These days I am tyring to install SLES8 + SP3(i386) Settting up the nfs dir as told in http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/multiplesource.html Most of the autoinstall process is successful, but when it comes to stage of "Install boot manager" after all packages are installed. A popup window shows up with a message of "Error Could not write the LILO boot sector" Strangely, SLES8 + SP3 is autoinstalled successfully on opteron with almost the same procedure. Could someone explain how what could be wrong? Thanks. Xuehua __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

While this window is shown, you can switch to a console with Ctrl-Alt-F2 and take a look into /var/log/YaST2/y2log. You should find some more info there. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

And look also in /mnt/var/log/YaST2/y2loglilo, you should find the output of the /sbin/lilo command there. -- Regards, Jiri Srain YaST2 developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: jsrain@suse.cz Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 2 9654 2373 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 2 9654 2374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz
