[opensuse-ppc] 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-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
