OK, it works after updating the install system to autoyast2-installation-2.6.40-0. The original install system did not install any kernel, if no kernel package was mentioned in the software section of the autoinst.xml. With the new install system I do not have to specify the kernel package in my autoinst.xml, yast2 automatically selects the correct one. The patch description for 2.6.40 says it is possible to install an alternative kernel. How ist this done now ? Jens.

Hi,

i have a problem building a custom autoinstall cd based on SuSE 8.1. How can i convince autoinst to select the smp kernel when installing a smp machine ? The custom cd should be able to hande up and smp machines alike. Is this possible ?

Actually yast2 should automatically install an smp kernel if SMP is detected! grep /var/log/YaST2/y2log* for "Kernel determined" and let us know what it says.

Greetings Jens.
