The problem was produced by broken .asc signature files. I used 7z (package p7zip from openSUSE 12.1) to extract the files from the .iso I'll file a bug against p7zip from 12.1.

Hi, I downloaded the Biarch DVD from http://openqa.opensuse.org/opensuse/www/htdocs/opensuse/factory-testing/ iso/openSUSE-DVD-Biarch-i586-x86_64-Build0056-Media.iso Then I copied the contents to a directory on our NFS server. I also
copied
the kernel and initrd to the tftp server and created a new entry in pxelinux.cfg. (This are all the same steps I do since SuSE 8.1 and it always worked.) Then I PXE-boot and everything works fine until it comes to the point, where linuxrc wants to check the repository. The installation stops with a red box on blue background saying:
Could not find the openSUSE repository. Activating manual setup program.
The last lines of tty3:

Is the DVD contents not meant to be a repo for network installation? But: Installation from DVD works. Are there logs for linuxrc except tty3 and tty4? Can I increase verbosity? Is there a tool to do the same check as linuxrc does?
