Never mind - I figured it out. I don't know why it fixes the problem (perhaps someone can explain it)m but I removed all the console-orientated settings from pxeconfig.cfg/default to make the file look like this: -- begin file -- default linux label linux kernel linux append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd insmod=pcnet32 autoyast=http://192.168.240.1/autoinst.xml install=nfs://192.168.240.1/srv/nfs -- end file -- That works perfectly. Now all I need to to have the autoinstallation go completely automatically (see other post).

When I do a PXE-based boot, I receive an address, it downloads pxeconfig.cfg/default and runs to the point where the line indicates the start of the install program with ">>> SuSE Linux installation program" and the rest of the line is known to you. The problem I have is that it hangs there. What am I missing? Contents of pxeconfig.cfg/default: -- begin file -- default linux serial 0,9600n8 label linux kernel linux append console=ttyS0,9800 console=tty0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd insmod=pcnet32 autoyast=http://192.168.240.1/autoinst.xml install=nfs://192.168.240.1/srv/nfs -- end file -- Naturally 'initrd', 'linux', 'pxelinux.0' are all in /tftpboot/ Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Jesse
