Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: autoyast-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: them4z@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=588094) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=588094) Processes running when the problem occurs. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 Originally asked for help on the ML (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2014-04/msg00003.html), I'm just going to repeat myself here. I'm experiencing a strange issue with 13.1's AutoYAST on IBX-530s (http://www.ieiworld.com/search.aspx?keyword=ibx-530). We're using rules.xml to distinguish between a couple of machines, namely "real" servers, embedded devices (IBX) and more. The AutoYAST profiles for the real servers and the embedded devices have only trivial differences (re bootloader etc., nothing I'd suspect to have any relevance to the problem). The only other difference is that for real servers we use a static IP address (via hostip, nameserver, and gateway boot parameters), and for embedded devices we use DHCP. The real servers install and run just fine. With the embedded devices, stage 1 finishes just fine, AFAICT. After the reboot, stage 2 throws a few APCI errors (warnings?), then tells me systemd is about to flush the journal (we don't use a persistent journal), and then does nothing, YAST is never even displayed (textmode=1 on both servers and embedded). I have tried around 10 installs and waited for up to 90 minutes; my colleague who first experienced the problem said he waited for the journal for about five minutes and was then dropped to a non-functioning login prompt or shell, but I could not reproduce this. YAST is started seemingly started in the background according to the logs, and runs up to the first user prompt (we have to accept a GPG key because we manually-by-script add a custom add-on repo). Since I can't see YAST, I can't interact with it. I cannot find what is wrong, not even an error message. I'll attach some logs and command output. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to install openSUSE 13.1 on IBX-530 with a profile that works on other hardware. 2. Once the machine reboots, the machine gets 'stuck' with irrelevant log messages, YAST is never displayed. 3. (Due to #846011, AutoYAST waits for a GPG confirmation for a manually added repo, which I cannot give because I don't see the YAST window. The install does not continue.) Actual Results: Install never finishes. Expected Results: YAST should be displayed in stage2 and the install should finish. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
