https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=295059 Summary: AutoYaST converts kickstart file wrong and other problems Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug@novell.com ReportedBy: caspert@math.aau.dk QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I imported this kickstart file: http://www.math.aau.dk/~caspert/junta/client-caspert.cfg (remark the include/ dir.) The output can be found here: http://www.math.aau.dk/~caspert/junta/imported-kickstart.xml Firstly, it's extremely hard to debug since xmllint produces nonsense error messages: Relax-NG validity error : Element profile has extra content: bootloader As far as I have discovered yet, <gid> cannot be in <profile><groups><group>. Moreover, <... /> is "bad", and <base> cannot (according to http://www.suse.com/~ug/autoyast.pdf) be in <software>. After a tremendous amount of time, I IRC'ed with some #suse (freenode) guys and they told me that I cannot trust xmllint to tell me about errors and that it doesn't b0rk about correct things. I have seen the light myself, and can conclude that I cannot trust the error messages of xmllint (try using the imported-kickstart.xml file and debug it) and that I cannot trust YaST2/AutoYaST to output correct xml files. I don't know if I can trust that kickstart files are imported correctly. Actually I cannot trust anything, so finding errors takes very long time. Now I'm faced with the error "Error while configuring partitions. Try again." The error is found in the perl code, and is produced since AutoinstStorage::Write() fails. As far as I can se, it's definition is found in line 632 in AutoinstStorage.ycp. "y2milestone("solutions: %1", sol);" (line 678) is reached according to y2log which can be found here: http://www.math.aau.dk/~caspert/junta/y2log Tracing the error takes me quite some time, so I'd appreciate if someone can help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
