Hi thx for your help but it didn´t work for me....this is what I did add the -r option to the syslog SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0" and I add this to /tftboot/pxelinux.cfg/default add the end of the file loghost=installserverIP but if I do so, no entries were written in the /var/log/messages on the installserver If I add this option under the label like so LABEL OpenSUSE-10.2_auto kernel opensuse-10.2/i386/linux append console=ttyS0,38400 initrd=opensuse-10.2/i386/initrd root=/dev/ram0 load_ramdisk=1 splash=silent showopts ramdisk_size=4096 loghost=21X.XXX.XXX.195 init=linuxrc insmod=e100 insmod=e1000 insmod=forcedeth install=http://21X.XXX.XXX.195/suse/10.2/cd1/ autoyast=http://21X.XXX.XXX.195/autoinst.xml Entries were written in /var/log/messages but autoyast passed and normal yast starts so that I have to do all manuell. But I want to realize an automatic installation with no input during installation. So what i´m doing wrong???

Halligan; opensuse-autoinstall@opensuse.org Subject: [***SPAM***] - Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] autoyast stops at 28% - Bayesian Filter detected spam 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.)
