Hey, all --
I've been trying to figure out a way to get the non-oss-inst-source and updates/10.1 sources added in to my autoyasted SUSE Linux 10.1 machines for a while now.
I had tried the <add-on-products> section of the XML file, and that didn't work. But, I noticed the discussion earlier this week of the add_on_products file in the inst-source directory and decided to give it a shot.
I've added two additional sources, each one on its own line in the file (which is a plain text file): nfs://<server>/LinuxDistros/suse/10.1/non-oss-inst-source nfs://<server>/LinuxDistros/suse/update/10.1
When the installation system is starting, I can see those directories get mounted by the machine that's being built, presumably to read their catalogs.
Partitioning happens, and the new partitions are formatted.
Then, the installation errors out. The following error is given: "Segmenation fault at /mounts/instsys/usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_rpmcopy.ycp:75 "/usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.call: line 306: 3244 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $OPT_FBITERM y2base "$Y2_MODULE_NAME" $Y2_MODE_FLAGS $Y2_MODULE_ARGS $Y2_MODE $Y2_UI_ARGS"
Without the add_on_products file, everything happens exactly the way that it's supposed to, and the machine ends up installed. (But, with the old, effectively non-working versions of things like rug)
Anyone have any thoughts on why this might be erroring out this way?
Any suggests on what I might do to make the seg fault stop happening -- ideally, while leaving the add_on_products in place?
(And, before anyone asks, I have added the appropriate signature-handling section to my autoyast profile :-)
Thanks,
Ian

that's bad. Can you do manual installations with adding those inst-sources by hand? Does it happen only with both of those sources in the add_on_products file or is one source already enough to make yast crash?

I did some more testing, and here's what I can report:
- With only the 10.1/non-oss-inst-source repo listed in the add_on_products file, everything works fine. The build proceeds as it's supposed to, and completes. - With only the update/10.1 repo listed, the Seg Fault occurs.
Which, I guess, makes sense, since the update repository is of a different character.
Still a little disappointing/annoying, though, since the purpose of the exercise was to try to avoid having to go through the whole "update yast2, update rug, update libzypp, do real updates" process. (I'm migrating a whole slew of servers to 10.1 from earlier distros, rather than patching them for the Daylight Savings Time changes happening this year. Having to do the update/update/update/update thing slows that process down quite a bit.)
Ah, well.
