Hi!
I'm using openSUSE 10.2 (i586) within a vmWare Server virtual machine. I'm trying to get AutoYaST running with an rules file but it simply doesn't work. :-(
I use TFTP and NFS.
My "/srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default" contains the following entry:
# install
label linux
kernel linux
append initrd=initrd splash=silent showopts install=nfs://192.168.1.50/srv/nfs/OpenSuSE/10-2/CD1 language=de_DE autoyast=nfs://192.168.1.50/var/lib/autoinstall/repository/
My "/var/lib/autoinstall/repository/" directory contains a directory called rules where a file "rules.xml" is to be found. The file "rules.xml" is for testing purpose and has the following content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE autoinstall SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/rules.dtd">
<autoinstall xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns">
<rules config:type="list">
<rule>
<memsize>
<match>
16
</match>
greater
</memsize>
<result>
<profile>
./a.xml
</profile>
<continue config:type="boolean">
false
</continue>
</result>
</rule>
</rules>
</autoinstall>
When I boot another PC (another virtual machine) through PXE at first everything seems to work fine. I enter linux to the syslinux bootloader and as expected it starts the AutoYaST installation procedure.
The YaST2 GUI gets started and it starts with "Hardware-Erkennung". Next comes "Steuerdatei abrufen & einlesen".
All of this seems to work. :-)
But now it should load the "./a.xml" profile. Nevertheless AutoYast does not find a profile file. It prompts me to enter the "Pfad für Systemprofil" (= path for system profile).
It already has filled in the path "nfs://192.168.1.50/var/lib/autoinstall/repository/" and simply waits for the filename to be entered.
QUESTION: Why does AutoYaST not recognize the profile name within the rules.xml file?
Is this a bug?
BTW: When I use AutoYast with just one profile (entering "autoyast=nfs://192.168.1.50/var/lib/autoinstall/repository/a.xml" within "/srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default") it simply works.
Regards,
Leonhard.
