[yast-devel] RE: opensuse 12.1 DVD install showstopper: "An error occurred during initrd creation"

I found a workaround for this bug. Apparently this is actually the bug mentioned here http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2009-09/msg00002.html which existed in 11.2. It was fixed in 11.3, and then was subsequently reintroduced and exists in 12.1 final. When installing via autoyast, it's sufficient to add these two packages. When installing straight from the DVD, it worked when I added all yast patterns (at least one of which contains these packages). Mike
