Hello,
my method of doing headless installs, which worked for years, seems not to function anymore with openSUSE Leap 42.2/42.3/Tumbleweed.
I do that too, I haven't noticed any problems. (I don't use TW except on ARM). ok, this make me hoping to stay with openSUSE :)
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
I presume
setup_linux64 = http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.2/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loa...
and
setup_initrd64 = http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.2/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loa...
?
correct, also tried 42.3 and 42.1
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
Looks much like mine, except I use dhcp.
i also, i added the nameserver,gateway options according to SDB without thinking long about it, but dropped it again, in past it worked..
and yes.. network setup is correct.. the kernel and the initrd files are from oss repo and accessible.
Check the initrd permissions in your tftp directory anyway.
