RE: [suse-autoinstall] where do I get a usable 10.1 ISO image
All those files should exist - the ones under x86_64 anyway. What do you see under x86_64 ? Perhaps bad apache config? Bad permissions?

I feel like i'm talking to myself on this list. I'm
autoyast to install suse-10.1, yet all I keep getting are errors which seem to suggest that I'm not using a valid installation
tried the DVD image from the opensuse.org website, and also tried pointing directly at a mirror (mirrors.kernel.org). Neither is working. Surely I'm missing something very obvious, yet I can't figure out what.
The same autoyast.xml just works for both 10.0 & 9.3.
Please, can someone point me to a known good installation

Perhaps you are facing the same "signature nightmare" I found the first time I tried this new version.
Try to add the following to your autoyast.xml:
<general> <signature-handling> <accept_unsigned_file config:type="boolean">true</accept_unsigned_file> <accept_file_without_checksum config:type="boolean">true</accept_file_without_checksum> <accept_verification_failed config:type="boolean">true</accept_verification_failed> <accept_unknown_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</accept_unknown_gpg_key> </signature-handling> </general>
Tried this, no luck. I still get the same failure: Could not set patterns/selections: Basis-Devel, GNome,Kde,Kde-Desktop,Kernel-devel
In y2log I see: Bad media attach point: http://10.31.40.58/distros/suse/os/10.1/x86_64/
If I check the apache server's on 10.31.40.58 error_log I see the following: File does not exist: /storage/distributions/distros/suse/os/10.1/x86_64/media.1/installfiles File does not exist: /storage/distributions/distros/suse/os/10.1/x86_64/media.1/info.txt File does not exist: /storage/distributions/distros/suse/os/10.1/x86_64/part.info File does not exist: /storage/distributions/distros/suse/os/10.1/x86_64/driverupdate Anyone know why yast is looking for those files when they do not exist in the 10.1 installation source? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.

I can get to the server in a web browser, and I can wget the files that are there, so I don't think its apache, or the server for that matter. As for what is listed, its the same files that are here: http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ I tried using that mirror a few days ago, and got the same errors in the y2log (I can only guess as to what errors apache was getting). You say that those files should exist. Can you point me to a suse mirror that is hosting them? I can't find any mirrors with those files for 10.1. thanks.

I'll dredge up my original question. Same setup, same errors. y2log attached for NFS/HTTP/FTP installs. I was using the retail i386/x86_64 DVD exploded into a HTTP tree for my source. Since then, I've also tried the GM i386 only DVD. Same results (note, my FTP install attempt was against a public mirror). I'm at my wits end as well. It's got to be something obvious since it works for everyone else. For full details of what the client logs at the time (during AutoYaST failures, and an example of a successful *MANUAL* install against the same source), see the mailing list archive at: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2006-May/0090.html Lee (been AutoYast'ing since SLES8, searching for a 10.1 clue :/) On Wed, 2006-06-28 at 15:46 -0700, Lonni J Friedman wrote:

Finally, its not just me. So clearly something is either broken somewhere in the 10.1 installation media, or the documentation is lacking. I've uploaded my y2log from the most recent failure here: http://netllama.linux-sxs.org/y2log It would be super-great if someone from SuSE (Uwe?) would chime in on this thread, as this is not just one crackpot any longer.

The only changes that I made to the initrd was to add my autoyast.xml and my info file. beyond that its the same as it was off the 10.1 DVD.

Hi Ewe, Thanks a million! That is *exactly* the root cause of the problem (creating the new initrd image as a non-root user). My test of performing all the steps manually *as* root resolved software selections just fine. It's never been an issue on previous releases (SLES8+, SuSE 9.0+), but it sure is now. Will modify my code that generates these for 10.1. Best Regards, Lee -- Lee Mayes <autoinst@mayeses.com>

UID=500 was the user on my system who edited the initrd. Chowning all of var in the initrd to root does indeed fix the problem I was having. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, now i'm hitting a new problem at the very end of the installation when it hits "Install boot manager". I get "An error occurred during boot loader installation".
