Hi Mitko, maybe you missed my first email. For debuging: 1) Set installation mode to text or press F2 on the initial boot screen Reason: During network installation of Suse 9.3 ( but booting from DVD ) i have got every time a error message saying something about ./var/...X11/.. missing Solution is to use Textmode ( F2) or F5 but NOT F3(640*480 ) - F5 i never testet. 2) use a simple "default" XML so your autoyast entry should look like: .../default hth Hajo

I looked at the log file and I did not see anything that stood out. Just in case, I am attaching my xml file (slightly edited for privacy).

I also tried attaching the y2log file but the mailing list rejected it since it was too big...

I one more thing that could be the problem: on the ALT-F3 screen/console, there are the following messages: starting setctsid "showconsole" inst_setup yast error setting kbd mode: Invalid argument install program exit code is 137 Could this be the problem that needs to be solve? And if yes, how can I change the kbd mode?
