Error with software base-selection
Last modified: 2005-09-05 14:31:09 UTC
Hy! I'm preparing a AutoYaST environment for our QA-Team. And I need some help ;-) After creating a control-file with the Autoinstallation-Module of YaST2, I got the error-message mention in the Summary. The section in my XML-file looks like this: <software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>Min</addon> <addon>X11</addon> </addons> <base>Minimal+X11</base> <packages config:type="list"> <package>susehelp_de</package> </packages> </software> I also tried some other configurations like Minimal and default and got the same error. So, what can I do to prevent this?
Where do you get an error? During installation? The XML part above looks good but I can't test beta4 at the moment because I'm in Prague on a workshop this week, please give some more information about the error you see like the text of the error message and where exactly you see that.
I get the error during installation, right. The steps are: After network-booting, yast fires up and starts the automatic installation. On my screen is a dialog with the title "Preparing System for Automated Installation". the following steps work correct: - configure generell settings - execute pre-install user scripts - create partition plans The fourth "Configure Software selections" stops with the small error message: Could not set base selection: Minimal My testserver provides dhcp/pxe, linux/initrd and a copy of CD1 (tried 9.3, beta3, beta4) vie tftp. --- some minutes later --- And now I found my fault... DON'T USE TFTP AS MEDIA SOURCE!!! :-( Just a minute ago I exported the packages via NFS and it just worked. But this is missing in the autoyast documantation. Although, all seems good now and I learned a lot of autoyast today ;-) Have fun in Prague.
I did not know that tftp as installation source does not work. I'll take a look at this but actually I think you are the first one who has tried to install from a tftp server ;) I close this bug but will keep it in mind.
