Turns out it wasn't failing to get a DHCP lease, it got one just fine. The error message was misleading and/or useless. The problem was that there's apparently no DNS resolution at this stage of the installation (or any?)
actually there is. How do you provide the nameserver information? DHCP or nameserver=.... parameter?
autoyast FAQ refers to autoyast=http://myserver/myconfig.xml which leads one to believe that not using the IP address of the server in the URL is acceptable.
it is.
Now it gets all the way through installing all the packages (once I updated all the pattern names *sigh*), and then fails at 'Install boot manager' with the error: /sbin/mkinitrd: line 3036: /etc/fstab: No such file or directory No '/' mountpoint specififed in /etc/fstab
you have an (old?) RAID over the whole sda disk. That confuses the storage part of the installation. Remove the old RAID by hand via: dmraid -E -r /dev/sda then it should work -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing Assemblage 23 - Document -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
