[yast-devel] skipped firstboot
I'm in the habit of including 3 on cmdline in all stanzas on all my test installations. More often than not, I forget to exclude it customizing Grub stanzas during installation. I also include kexec_reboot=0 on installation cmdline. As a result, first boot, a full boot to POST, doesn't start X, and firstboot doesn't run. If I immediately reboot, remembering to remove the 3 from cmdline, firstboot still does not run. Another boot, leaving 3 on cmdline, trying yast firstboot from root login on tty starts yast with message "No workflow defined for this installation mode." The same happens from yast2 firstboot. How can one get firstboot to run prior to first X login after having forgotten to leave 3 off the first boot's cmdline? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Hi Felix, What version do you use? If factory, then new installation work-flow do not contain second stage (first boot). So it is correct that it do not show and also that there is no work-flow. Intention is that because majority of users use autoconfig, then configure it in first stage and other can modify what they need using yast modules. It also allows to install system with no yast on it, if someone want it or want to manage configuration automatic e.g. via chef or puppet. If you use 13.1 or older, then it is strange that it doesn't work and we probably need logs for it.

I thought the forum title implied Factory. What yast development is going on for distro version(s) already released?

I saw recent mention that stage 2 was no longer, but misunderstood what stage 2 was, and for that matter what yast2-firstboot is about. I thought stage 2 had to do with loading the installation system, not to with the installation process once begun. Now I know I'm no longer supposed to expect to see a yast2 GUI doing whatever it used to do on first boot and just go right to the login manager. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

You can be surprised how often people ask about recently released or older release. So I just want to be sure.

To explain it. Installation used to have two parts. First one is install rpms, partitioning and what is done before reboot/kexec. Second part is firstboot, which configure system after during its first boot and you do not need DVD for it as it just run predefined yast modules on installed system. yast2-firstboot is needed if you use autoyast, because to preserve autoyast behavior you need to do configuration in modules that is not available in inst-sys on DVD, so firstboot run only for autoyast now.
