I created my 10.1 installation depot (i386 & x86_64) by mounting the retail DVD and cp -ar. This has worked great in the past for the non enterprise releases, and I can install manually against the depot, but autoyast installations all fail when they attempt to resolve the software section. I tried using a 'clone' of my manual install, as well as a very simple <software> section with only <base>default-Gnome</base>. No matter what's in autoyast.xml, the installs fail at the same place. Thinking I had a problem with my depot, I even pointed at one of the internet mirrors. No Joy. Here are snippets of y2log on the machines when they fail, and a working one when I did the install manually (the one I cloned). For some reason when autoyast is in play, it says it cannot create the mountpoint due to: "Create attach point: attach root is not a writable directory: '/var/adm/mount'". After failure, I've pushed a shell and verified I can create a directory and touch a file there. When using HTTP, there are no 404's in the log that are unexpected (basically the same ones as during manual). I tried increasing the ramdisk size to 64M thinking maybe it was out of space, no luck there either. Any ideas? I'm stumped! I can provide full logfiles and my autoyast.xml file on request, but it's pretty simple, and from the error it appears no matter what's in there it wasn't going to be able to resolve the software section as it fails to create the mountpoint where it would mount media.1/products, etc. HTTP against my local source - AutoYaST 2006-05-30 07:59:19 <1> 192.168.1.105(3147) [wfm] Packages.ycp:554 Pkg Builtin called: SourceCreateBase 2006-05-30 07:59:19 <1> 192.168.1.105(3147) [media] MediaAccess.cc(open):109 Trying scheme 'http' 2006-05-30 07:59:19 <1> 192.168.1.105(3147) [media] MediaCurl.cc(MediaCurl):120 MediaCurl::MediaCurl(http://192.168.1.5/LinuxCOE/SuSE/i386/10.1, ) 2006-05-30 07:59:19 <1> 192.168.1.105(3147) [media] MediaAccess.cc(open):142 Opened: http(http://192.168.1.5/LinuxCOE/SuSE/i386/10.1 not attached;
