[opensuse-autoinstall] Feature: Add <location> tag to <file_script> to get file script from remote location
by Joschi Brauchle 08 May '13

Hi, I have a pretty long bash script as a <file_script>, modifying one of the files provided via <file>. I tried to move the script source out of the XML file by using a <location> tag instead of the <source> inside the <file_script>. But it looks like this is not supported yet...would be nice to have though! Best regards, J Brauchle

linuxrc - netdevice=<hwaddress>
by John Willis 18 Dec '12

Does anyone know if any of the SLES releases 9 or 10 support passing the linuxrc option netdevice=<hardware mac address> ? I noticed Red Hat has had this for sometime and it seems totally missing in SuSE which seems really odd. I'm still scratching my head if we really are still passing only by kernel interface name. I read in the change log for linuxrc-1.8.6-3 a change that "sounds" like this feature. * Mon Mar 14 2005 - snwint(a)suse.de - s390: fix segfault in net_list_s390_devs() - extra root image was sometimes not used - allow netdevices to be specified by hwaddress But it looks like linuxrc-1.8.6-3 is only available in SuSE Professional 9.3. "any" commentary would be sincerely appreciated the feature also seems to be fairly minor since any delimiter seperating the octets in the hwaddr string could be used to identify the difference between an interface name and interface hw address if i could figure out a generic method of overriding the linuxrc with a custom script and daisy chain it back into linuxrc after setting up the interface name, I would.. and have a slight idea on how to do that.. but i'd rather find out i'm just missing something and the feature is already there Thanks!

[opensuse-autoinstall] specifying addon_product URL
by Jochen Schaefer 15 Nov '12

Hi, following situation: we need to mount an isoimage from a USB device during installation. Following media URL is working for us: <media_url><![CDATA[iso:/?iso=SLES11-SP1-Updates-PROD.iso&url=hd:///products/isos/?device=/dev/sda1]]></media_url> Unfortunately this method relies on device names like sda. In rare situations we need to plug two usb devices into the server. At this point sda would change to sdb. We are searching a solution where we can specify the LABEL of the ISO image like described at opensuse.org/linuxrc install=hd:/?device=*label/foo we tried following URL: <media_url><![CDATA[iso:/?iso=SLES11-SP2-Updates-PROD.iso&url=hd:/products/isos/?device=*label/DTM2]]></media_url> blkid shows the right Label. But that didn't work. Does anybody know how to specify the URL such we can mount an ISO via Label? Thanks, Jochen

[opensuse-autoinstall] openSUSE 12.2 and autoyast-configured services
by Conny Seidel 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hello list, I'm having difficulties enabling systemd services in openSUSE 12.2 from the autoyast file. Our current way doesn't work anymore: <runlevel> <default>3</default> <services config:type="list"> <service> <service_name>rpcbind</service_name> <service_status>enable</service_status> </service> </services> </runlevel> At least not for rpcbind. My workaround currently is to use a post-script to do a "systemctl enable rpcbind.service". -- Kind regards.
