[opensuse-factory] no automagic reboot?
Hello, Is there any way to disable the automatic reboot at the end of installation? I know, I have ten seconds to cancel it, but it is quite boring to wait for it :-) If there isn't (and I could not find anything related on http://en.opensuse.org/linuxrc ), then I'll add a feature request for it. Background: I have a PPC machine, where the installer does not install a bootable kernel. Right now all I can do is to boot inst32, go through all of the linuxrc menus up to the point where I can start an installed OS. Then once installation is finished, then go to the command line and run: mkzimage --vmlinux /boot/vmlinux --initrd /boot/initrd --cmdline root=/dev/sdaX --output /boot/zImage (or just mkzimage --vmlinux /boot/vmlinux --initrd /boot/initrd --output /boot/zImage , as most users prefer to add boot parameters at firmware level, and it would also make scripting of it simpler). Of course, the ideal situation would be, if Olaf did not oppose this solution, and it was done automagically on each kernel install/upgrade. But until that I would like to do this before rebooting the machine and without needing to catch that 10 seconds, so going through linuxrc menus could be avoided and the real kernel could be used. BTW: this is especially problematic now, due to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373569 Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Afaik: boot with startshell=1 and call yast from the started shell.

That's exactly what I wanted to write too, but I think that YaST calls `reboot` at the end of the first stage. I just wanted to check that first ;) L.

Tested and works, but still not an ideal solution, as /mnt (the installed system) is already umount-ed, one needs to remount it, run commands, etc. Also, the ideal goal is to be able to install the system without any additional boot arguments. As there are also other problems, I entered: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376310 Bye, CzP --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

OK, but that would mean, that Joe Average, the EFIKA/Pegasos user can't just download an openSUSE install CD by torrent or point his installer to download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/ but needs a repo created by me. The ultimate goal is to have an as easy install as on x86, without needing to read a long list of workarounds from somewhere. 10.2 on a recent Pegasos provided this experience (10.3 had an ugly problem with some 64bit packages), and would like to extend the SuSE experience to all Pegasos and EFIKA machines.

OK. Is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=393082 already fixed? And related question: are these command executed in the installer on chrooted to the installed system?

Is this even supported now? That page talks about v9.0...... I would be interested in knowing if it's still relevant(or something similar).
