[opensuse-autoinstall] autoyast with openSUSE 10.3 doesn't work
Dear listmembers, I'm getting crazy trying to install openSUSE 10.3 from a created autoinst.xml profile file. I tried to tell autoyast to get the profile from usb-stickt, nfs-share and a webserver - no chance! I always get a message like that there was an error reading the profile. I only got it half way working using the option "vnc=1" . Than autoyast reads the profile (from the webserver), but stops with partitioning problems because of a factory partiton. I saw now thht this is a bug... But getting back to my first problem: What can I do? We want to set up some new clients with openSUSE 10.3 and I don't want to do that 50 times ...

Might help - try to use only extended partitions - use a preinstall script to wipe out the factory partition or create from a prescript the partition table you need and tell autoyast to reuse the partition table. Notes: AFAIK installing via NFS is not working thus you should use http / usb hth Hajo

Hello, a short (and very late) feedback - sorry! I use extended partitions und wiped out the factory partition. No way to get autoyast working. It always tells me that there was an error retrieving the profile from the http-server (code 0). It only works when i define "hostip" with fixed ip adress *and* "vnc=1" option. Than I can follow the installation via vnc, but after the first reboot the system hangs. It shows a kind of black and white dos-bootscreen and when trying to boot openSUSE it hangs and says: Error 15: File not found Autoyast in openSUSE 10.3 seems to be a big bug - nothing else - that's sad! Isn't there a patch for autoyast for the iso-image of a new dvd? Regards, Ivan
