I'm doing a network install of 11.2 and having my usual chaotic time. Let's just say it's a good job the machine is actually sitting next to me and not in a remote data centre! The instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/Network_Install gave errors when booting the install kernel - something about a missing root= in the kernel command line. I haven't investigated why. So I used setupgrubfornfsinstall. That worked. I had my usual problem with DHCP but I think that's a local issue with our server and I just typed the addresses in instead. One little problem was that ssh refused to connect because the key has been changed but I nuked the old key in known_hosts to get around that. I started yast and got as far as choosing the partitions. After that, yast died and the ssh session shows: error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid YaST got signal 6 at YCP file String.ycp:128 /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.call: line 288: 4217 Aborted $OPT_FBITERM y2base "$Y2_MODULE_NAME" $Y2_MODE_FLAGS $Y2_MODULE_ARGS $Y2_MODE $Y2_UI_ARGS unicode_stop skipped on /dev/pts/0 inst-sys:~ # Connection to pcx36 closed by remote host. I've no idea what that means. Does anybody have a clue? Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
