When creating a new OpenSUSE 12.3 system using AutoYaST the system is getting built and no errors are reported, but the password of the root user is not set so I cannot log in. I've rebooted into rescue mode and manually mounted the root LV to verify this -- the root password is not set and any additional users I've added are not being added to the system. I've spent several days on this and even created clean AutoYaST XML files from fresh interactive installations. The XML file shows the users and their encrypted passwords, but AutoYaST fails to build a system with these users and the root password is not set. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new OpenSUSE 12.3 system interactively, set the root password and add one or more users. 2. Start yast, select Miscellaneous > Autoinstallation > Tools > Create Reference Profile. Select all products. 3. Select File > Save and save the XML file. 4. Build a system from bare metal using PXEboot and the XML file. 5. Can't login. root password not set, additional users not added. Actual Results: System was successfully built, but you can't actually log in without going into rescue mode and hand-editing the /etc/shadow file. Expected Results: A freshly-built, fully-operational OpenSUSE 12.3 system. -- 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.
