Hello,
my method of doing headless installs, which worked for years, seems not to function anymore with openSUSE Leap 42.2/42.3/Tumbleweed.
everything works, kernel is being downloaded. "boot: Loading setup_linux64........ready. " then the serial console gets blank. after a view minutes the system is being reset.
These are the lines I am booting with: kernel setup_linux64 append initrd=setup_initrd64 install=http://download.swabian.net/opensuse/distribution/openSUSE/leap/42.3/repo/os... usessh=1 sshpassword="something" loghost=172.18.0.1 proxy=172.18.0.1:3128 startshell=1 WaitReboot=1 debug=1 gateway=172.18.0.1 nameserver=172.18.0.1 ipv6.disable=1 console=ttyS0,19200 textonly noapic linemode=1
the atftpd log, shows that the initrd is not loaded:

Am I missing anything? I cannot find the sdb article over headless installs, where I got this method from, anymore.
and yes.. network setup is correct.. the kernel and the initrd files are from oss repo and accessible.
Thank you
Paul
just found out, that openSUSE Leap 42.1 kernel image does not work either... I also tried to minimize parameters kernel setup_linux64 append initrd=setup_initrd64 initrd is not being requested.. could it be a broken kernel module? any hint, or failsave parameters to test? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
