My customer has written a sles9->sles10 live update installation script. I just ran it via ssh. It uses autoyast (the sles10 version) and it installs onto a clean partition (i.e., a partition that isn't running sles9). It works, but they've had to mess with some of the ycp files. Note this script is specialized to their nodes because they only ship 2-3 type of nodes. It's not a general purpose script.
Here are the 3 questions they have (for sles10 version):
1) After yast completes installation (i.e., post-install), the fstab is created.
the fstab is created immediately after the (/) partition is formated and mounted and before the first RPM gets installed and not during post-install. Post-install would be too late (a lot too late actually because post-install in autoyast terms means after the first reboot).
What yast module makes this call?
libstorage as part of yast2-storage is doing that Thomas Fehr can tell you more about that
2) How does yast determine what the source partition to mount is?
I dont understand the question What is the "source partition"?
3) bootloader_finish.ycp breaks the install at the end.
in which way? Logs? Error message?
They got the install to work by commenting out everything in bootload_finish.ycp. What does this file do?
Stefan Fent and Olaf Dabrunz can tell you more. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing mind.in.a.box - Walking -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
