[opensuse-autoinstall] Location for image installation with autoyast
This is another test that i'm doing, i'd like to use this feature: <software> <image> <script_location>http://10.10.0.162/image.sh</script_location> <run_kickoff config:type="boolean">true</run_kickoff> </image> </software> http://ugansert.blogspot.com/2009/03/imagine-autoyast.html But i'd like to store both the script and the image that will be used in the installation on the media DVD, the script_location tag may have device://<cdrom_device>/image.sh parameter?? How do i identify what's my dvdrom drive inside these scripts? Thanks -- Leonardo Luiz Padovani da Mata barroca@gmail.com "May the force be with you, always" "Nerd Pride... eu tenho.

yes, you can use device, like you can use it for the autoyast=.... parameter you can use file:///... too, then autoyast will fall back to the cdrom drive if it cant find it in the filesystem -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

just for the archive, I did a test and that worked fine: I created an ISO (based on a SLES11 but all RPM files deleted) with the following image files on it: * image.sh * image_test.xml * suse-oem-preload.tar.bz2 and that worked with: autoyast=file:///image_test.xml and an image.sh like this: mv /mnt/etc/fstab tmp mkdir /tmp/mnt mount /dev/sr0 /tmp/mnt tar xfj /tmp/mnt/suse-oem-preload.tar.bz2 -C /mnt 2>/dev/null mv /tmp/fstab /mnt/etc umount /tmp/mnt the relevant part in the xml file is: <software> <image> <script_location>file:///image.sh</script_location> <run_kickoff config:type="boolean">true</run_kickoff> </image> </software> that installed a SLES 11 system quite fine here You should add a working installation source at the end of the installation via "zypper as" and remove the "broken" on the the CD with "zypper rs" -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

I created an ISO (based on a SLES11 but all RPM files deleted) with the following image files on it:
* image.sh * image_test.xml * suse-oem-preload.tar.bz2
and that worked with: autoyast=file:///image_test.xml
instead of using the file:// parameter, i've used the device://<dev_name>/ parameter. The machines where the system will be installed have the same configuration, so there's no concern about changing the device. my image.sh script has almost the same configuration.
and an image.sh like this:
mv /mnt/etc/fstab tmp mkdir /tmp/mnt mount /dev/sr0 /tmp/mnt tar xfj /tmp/mnt/suse-oem-preload.tar.bz2 -C /mnt 2>/dev/null mv /tmp/fstab /mnt/etc umount /tmp/mnt
the relevant part in the xml file is:
<software> <image> <script_location>file:///image.sh</script_location> <run_kickoff config:type="boolean">true</run_kickoff> </image> </software>
that installed a SLES 11 system quite fine here You should add a working installation source at the end of the installation via "zypper as" and remove the "broken" on the the CD with "zypper rs"

that's true for SLES11 AFAIK but not for SLES10 for example. I'm not sure when exactly that changed. If you boot from the CD/DVD, you can get the information from the /etc/install.inf too -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

The problem is that if I create an installation source from USB or HardDisk.

Ok, i think i've finally found the problem. It's been a long time, but i guess it's ok to explain the problem. So, if i point the image to cd:///image.sh it should look for this file in the installation cd, but it doesn't . The problem is that the file include/autoinstall/io.ycp doesn't check if the cdrom is already mounted, and tries to mount it again, with an error. I've changed the file (attached to this email), to do a bind mount and it worked. To reproduce the error, try to use cd:///image.sh as a location of image file instead of file:/// or others. Thanks.

Thanks. since this is still an experimental feature, I appreciate your feedback a lot.
