Hello autoyast list,
I'm currently testing an automated installation over pxe. Currently I found two things, which do not seem to work:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=157024 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=157027
Now I checked a machine with linuxbios on it, which only can use a serial line.
This is the last entry after the .ebi is loaded:
Loading 10.136.16.201:netinst/ebi/install-suse101b6-i386.ebi ...(ELF)... .........done
Then nothing. cmdline:
console=ttyS0,115200 Insmod=e1000,bcm5700,e100,aic7xxx_old install=http://10.136.16.223/itwm101/inst/CD1 autoyast=tftp://10.136.16.221/netinst/suse/autoyast-suse101-lvm.xml"
How do I find out if the kernel (The kernel from the installcds beta6) and the initrd supports the serial console? Is this tested? Installation beta6 over serial line?
Yes, serial line ist part of the kernel. Just copied linux,initrd into a working suse 10.1b6 removed vga=xxx and added console=ttyS0,115200.
Yast starts over serial line. which is fine. Problem remaining: why does it not work with linuxbios....

OK, serial line in LinuxBios works too, but not with the mknbi package. mkelfImage works fine. Btw: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=157024 was recently fixed, many thanks. Only the vga problem remains. Martin
