If you're doing a network install, a start would be to create a log host (add the -r option to SYSLOGD_PARAMS in /etc/sysconfig/syslog and restart it on the server you are installing from) then add loghost=buildserverIP to your linux commandline (in /tftpboot/ pxelinux.cfg/hostname, for example).. At the very least autoyast will give you a lot of incomprehensible information in /var/log/messages, and perhaps one or two lines that are telling you what's broken. If you're actually at the console of this machine as well, you can hit alt-f2 or alt-f3 to see if any log messages are generated. On May 27, 2007, at 7:34 AM, Oliver Klein wrote:
Hi
i make my first experience with the OpenSUSE autoinstall procedure. I configure that the autoyast installer get the autoinst.xml file with http. I think this is working cause I can see yast is starting the installation but it stops at 28% and that’s it. Nothing more happens.
openSUSE installation program v2.1.17 (c) 1996-2006 SUSE Linux Products GmbH <<< Starting udev... ok Loading basic drivers... ok Starting hardware detection... ok (If a driver is not working for you, try booting with brokenmodules=driver_name.)
