Hello,
I'm trying to install our OES2 SP1 /SLES11 SP1 -Server via autoyast, booting with minicd.
Everything works fine, but I have a problem with the naming of the autoinstallation-file. I saved the file on a server on an http and nfs-share. I wrote the path to the file in the autoyast=-parameter of the isolinux.cfg on the minicd (I tried it with http and nfs).
It works if I - add the correct filename to the path - rename the autoinst.xml to "default" - rename the autoinst.xml to hexadecimal naming of the ip-adress.
But it doesn't work if I rename the file like the MAC-address of the server as described in http://doc.opensuse.org/products/draft/SLES/SLES-deployment_sd_draft/cha.dep...
When I look with wireshark, I can see that the installation doesn't search for a file named as the MAC-address, only IP-address or "default" is searched for.
Is this a bug or do I have to pass any other parameters to the isolinux.cfg
Unfortunately this feature seems currently not to work any more. I had a quick look at the autoyast code, this was not changed recently. Autoyast relies on an entry in /etc/install.inf (written by linuxrc) with key "HWAddr" to determine MAC address. Unfortunately this key seems not to exist any more (I checked SLES11 SP1, SP2 and openSuSE 12.2). I informed maintainer of linuxrc code, he will check and fix. Maybe there is a workaround to make linuxrc write this key, if yes I will tell here.
