will this fix be incorporated into the 'root' file that is on the suse mirrors, or will we have to wait for 9.2 ?
root images are never updated, if something is to be updated, then it will be done using a driverupdate. That said, I dont think an update will be done just because of this problem. If you need an update, please contact support. 9.2 is not far away, so you might want to wait for that.. Anas
thanks

Hi, Well, it seems the code is indeed in the script, although according to the logs it should not be there :-( Quick and dirty solution is to remove this code from the yast2 script.
mv root root.orig mount -oloop linux/root.orig /mnt rm -rf inst-sys mkdir -p inst-sys cd inst-sys rsync -avz /mnt/* .
vi inst-sys/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/YaST2 # remove the lines 383-402 umount /mnt
mkfs.cramfs inst-sys root
rm -rf inst-sys
Hope that helps, Anas

I am trying to do a network install with SuSE 9.1 on a headless (and keyboardless) machine. After inital booting and ssh login, yast displays
i am seeing something similar here. we have a dhcp/tftp/http server setup to do installs. if we boot a machine via pxe with no keyboard connected, autoyast appears to hang with:
No keyboard detected. Trying to connect via serial interface /dev/ttyS0. On your terminal computer start ...
the blue install screen never comes up. however the autoyast install progresses (in the background?) and eventually completes sucessfully.
when i setup the server i copied linux and initrd from x86_64/9.1/boot/loader/ which was rsynced from mirror.mcs.anl.gov. the md5sums of the files we are using:
37dd0ca03f8c3117b571b92a51473b3d linux.suse.9.1 2987e927a80fe615f57d8308035e9c1b initrd.suse.9.1
which appear to match what is on that mirror.
