Hi Hubba, my first experience with SuSE 9.1 and autoinstall is not so good. I changed the installation-source from 9.0 to 9.1 an tried to install a test-system via PXe and an autoinst.xml stream. It stopped with the error message "no harddisk found". Then I copied the autoinst.xml to a floppy and tried to install from the SuSE 9.1 CD. The error message was simular "no harddisk proposal" So I install the system without autoinst.xml and it worked! bye, Michael On Tue, 4 May 2004, Hubertus Haniel wrote:

Hi List,

Before I dip my toes into automatic installation with suse9.1, is there a description on the way? Are there many differences from 9.0 to 9.1? Has anybody tried it, yet? With what results?

The SuSE 9.0 templates work fine with 9.1 - the easiest way to find out about new features will be using the graphical autoyast gui.

I suspect the documentation will be published at http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/docs.html once it is ready.

Also check /usr/share/doc/packages/autoyast2 on your box when autoyast is installed

Hi Hubba, my hardware is pretty simple. It's a pentium II 350 MHz 128 MBRAM, no SCSI only IDE. I stopped trying autoinstall because i needed a quick Installation. I attached my autoinst.xml stream to this mail for info. bye, Michael On Tue, 4 May 2004, Hubertus Haniel wrote:

Interesting - what hardware is it? - Do you get any devices back from "fdisk -l" if you switch to the console on that error? The only times I have seen issues on 9.1 was LVM and raid related issues during the beta but most of them should have been fixed by now.

Hi, Docs will be put on the web soon. This time I want to have 1 online documentation for SLES9 and SL9.1 and I am still working on it. Regards, Anas Hubertus Haniel wrote:
