Hi. I'm new to autoinstall. I'm using AutoYast1 for now. I've made a boot floppy for nfs installs, but linuxrc can't find the infofile. I have it on the bootdisk as /suse/setup/descr/info. Linuxrc starts, I get a screen in color saying "Searching for Infofile". After 3 seconds I get a mono screen saying "Can't open cdrom". I tried copying it to the root directory as well. Is this a permissions issue, or should the file be renamed? ashley@ishi:~ >mount /bigfloppy/ ashley@ishi:~ >ls -lR /bigfloppy/ /bigfloppy/: total 1577 -rwxr-xr-x 1 ashley users 878 Jul 26 00:49 info -rwxr-xr-x 1 ashley users 562455 Jul 23 23:31 initrd -r-xr-xr-x 1 ashley users 11552 Jul 25 22:02 ldlinux.sys -rwxr-xr-x 1 ashley users 1035296 Jul 25 21:31 linux -rwxr-xr-x 1 ashley users 2424 Jul 23 23:38 message drwxr-xr-x 3 ashley users 512 Jul 25 21:49 suse -rwxr-xr-x 1 ashley users 242 Jul 26 00:27 syslinux.cfg /bigfloppy/suse: total 1 drwxr-xr-x 3 ashley users 512 Jul 25 21:49 setup /bigfloppy/suse/setup: total 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 ashley users 512 Jul 26 01:17 descr /bigfloppy/suse/setup/descr: total 1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 ashley users 822 Jul 26 01:17 info ashley@ishi:~ >cat /bigfloppy/suse/setup/descr/info Language: english # "german" or "english" Display: mono # "color" or "mono" Keytable: us # Keytable for us Bootmode: Net # Needed for network installation IP: 192.168.0.2 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: Server: 192.168.0.4 Serverdir: /distro Nameserver: 192.168.0.4 Netdevice: eth0 # General configuration options AUTO_LILO 2 AUTO_NET 1 AUTO_NAME 1 AUTO_NAMSERVER 1 AUTO_SERVICES 1 AUTO_INSTALL $I:/suse/setup/descr/Minimal.sel INSTALL_WAIT 1 AUTO_KERNEL k_deflt.rpm CDROM_DEVICE /dev/hdd NO_ASK_SWAP 1 END_MESSAGE 1 END_STARTUP 1 CHECK_DEPENDENCY 0 NEVER_STOP 0 RC_CONFIG_0 START_GPM yes # Entries controlling partitioning and formatting #AUTO_FDISK 1 -- Ashley Gould 510.482.0525 3020 Kansas St. ashleyg@dnai.com Oakland, CA 94602
