RE: [suse-autoinstall] Network Installation Problems
The problem seems to be that it's trying to download "driverupdate" from
As it turns out it was a corrupted control.xml in the source tree.
Thanks to those who sent their suggestions and advice!

Subject: RE: [suse-autoinstall] Network Installation Problems
Well I am still battling with this issue. I still get big red "Error in Installation" trying to do an autoinstall over the network.
Possible issues:
1) I have no DNS server on my little private network where I am attempting the install. Is this a problem?
2) Control file validity checks out ok, but maybe there is something busted? What kinds of problems might lead to 'Error in Installation" just after control file download, assuming the control file is sane?
Below is the last version of the control file I have been using. Any weirdnesses I am missing?

Are you sure you're not booting from the sp1 cd's linux kernel and initrd files? I don't think I've ever seen a non-sp installer look for the driverupdate file. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com Homer: "I'm not normally a religious man, but if you're up there, save me, Superman!" -- Simpsons -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com
