[Bug 214325] New: SLES 10 autoinstall not working with serial console
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214325 Summary: SLES 10 autoinstall not working with serial console Product: SUSE LINUX 10.0 Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SLES 10 Status: NEW Keywords: Install Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug@novell.com ReportedBy: stefan.hinker@sun.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I have a *working* configuration of autoyast/autoinstall for SLES10. This configuration breaks (stops with the "An error occurred during the installation" message) if I include the option "console=ttyS0" in the linuxrc parameters. The last error message I see on syslog is: yast2[3711]: <5> [ui-ncurses] YNCursesUI.cc(YNCursesUI):101 NCurses: (-1) newterm() failed This seems to be a bug in the yast2 ncurses frontend. Specifying different options for term (vt100, xterm) is recognized by yast, but does *not* change the behaviour. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Secondly, I've seen a crash very much like this when the content of $TERM environment variable was something, that was actually not defined in /usr/share/terminfo. However, newterm() is a function that comes from ncurses library (adding our ncurses maintainer to cc.). I'm not really sure how all these (i.e. ncurses, terminfo, console, TERM variable,...) work together at the end and why newterm() segfaults with wrong TERM content. Werner, could you please comment ? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

are there any details about it? how can we reproduce it?
The details (logfiles, console output, config files etc.) are attached to the bug description. What else do you require ? To reproduce, take a suitable machine, set it up to install using serial console, and try it. stefan -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214325 ------- Comment #10 from werner@novell.com 2006-11-02 05:37 MST ------- First of all, changing the value of the environment variable TERM does never re-program the terminal of terminal emulator its self. Such a change only switches from one terminal description to an other maybe wrong terminal description. The function newterm(3) returns a NULL if a not existing TERM(inal) type was choosen. It is on the caller to catch this error. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
