Hello List
I try to install OpenSuSe 10.2 via PXE. First I run a Linux unattended
image and it boots the OpenSuSe 10.2 kernel and the normal autoyast part
starts.
It worked perfectly with older SuSe 9.2 and SuSe 9.3 installations but
it fails now with OpenSuSe 10.2 because of too less memory for yast. My
machines only has 256mb Ram and 8mb of it is shared with AGP.
Yast asks for a swap partition. Is there a way to auto create a swap
partition during the pxe boot?
The boot procedure looks like:
dns: mirror.intern
setfont linuxrc-16.psfu
Setting up lolcahost ... done
Going for automatic install
Loading image
"mirror/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/boot/i386/root" ...
Cramfs: "root 70540"
Image Size: 70540kB
mount download image0: we need a loop device
mount: using /dev/loop0
Loading image
"mirror/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/diverupdate" ...
/dowload/imag1 removed
That's it. Then I got an error about to less memory, please define a
swap partition.
My autoyast looks like:
