Hello everyone, I'm using the following control file to perform a SuSE 8.1 autoinstallation: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/YaST2/include/autoinstall/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <configure> <networking> <dns> <dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">true</dhcp_hostname> <dhcp_resolv config:type="boolean">true</dhcp_resolv> <domain>demo-zone.com</domain> <hostname>praga</hostname> <nameservers config:type="list"> <nameserver></nameserver> </nameservers> <searchlist config:type="list"> </searchlist> </dns> <interfaces config:type="list"> <interface> <bootproto>dhcp</bootproto> <broadcast></broadcast> <device>eth0</device> <ipaddr></ipaddr> <netmask></netmask> <network></network> <options></options> <remote_ipaddr></remote_ipaddr> <startmode>onboot</startmode> <wireless>no</wireless> </interface> </interfaces> <routing> <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward> <routes config:type="list"> <route> <destination>default</destination> <device>-</device> <gateway></gateway> <netmask>-</netmask> </route> </routes> </routing> </networking> <runlevels> <default>5</default> <services config:type="list"/> </runlevels> <scripts> <post-scripts config:type="list"> </post-scripts> <pre-scripts config:type="list"/> </scripts> <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted> <user_password>changeme</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> </users> <x11> <color_depth config:type="integer">16</color_depth> <configure_x11 config:type="boolean">true</configure_x11> <display_manager>kdm</display_manager> <enable_3d config:type="boolean">false</enable_3d> <monitor> <display> <frequency config:type="integer">75</frequency> <height config:type="integer">768</height> <max_hsync config:type="integer">60</max_hsync> <max_vsync config:type="integer">75</max_vsync> <min_hsync config:type="integer">31</min_hsync> <min_vsync config:type="integer">50</min_vsync> <width config:type="integer">1024</width> </display> <monitor_device>1024X768@75HZ</monitor_device> <monitor_vendor> VESA</monitor_vendor> </monitor> <resolution>1024x768</resolution> <start_x11 config:type="boolean">true</start_x11> </x11> </configure> <install> <bootloader> <write_bootloader config:type="boolean">true</write_bootloader> <lba_support config:type="boolean">true</lba_support> <linear config:type="boolean">false</linear> <location>mbr</location> </bootloader> <general> <clock> <hwclock>localtime</hwclock> <timezone>Europe/Madrid</timezone> </clock> <keyboard> <keymap>spanish</keymap> </keyboard> <language>es_ES</language> <mode> <confirm config:type="boolean">false</confirm> <forceboot config:type="boolean">false</forceboot> <interactive_boot config:type="boolean">false</interactive_boot> <reboot config:type="boolean">false</reboot> </mode> <mouse> <id>probe</id> </mouse> </general> <partitioning config:type="list" > <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> <report> <errors> <log config:type="boolean">true</log> <show config:type="boolean">true</show> <timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout> </errors> <messages> <log config:type="boolean">true</log> <show config:type="boolean">false</show> <timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout> </messages> <warnings> <log config:type="boolean">true</log> <show config:type="boolean">false</show> <timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout> </warnings> </report> <software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>Kde</addon> </addons> <base>Minimal+X11</base> <packages config:type="list"> </packages> </software> </install> </profile> However, when installation finishes, there is no kernel installed under /boot (the k_deftl package is not installed). I have discovered that removing <packages config:type="list"> </packages> of the control file, the installation works fine with the kernel installed. It seems autoyast2 doen't like an empty <packages> list. Somebody have experienced similar behaviour? What is the cause? Maybe an autoyast2 bug? Thanks in advance, -------- Fermín Agora Systems, S.A.
