Hi all. I'm still trying to get my auto-install CD to work. At least now it boots...
But when it fails during the installation. I put: autoyast=file:\\\control.xml install=cd on the kernal parameter line and autoyast starts the installation process. Then I get a screen with a "An error occured during the installation." error message. There doesn't appear that there is any way to diagnose this and the error message is certainly useless. I've checked that my control.xml file is valid XML. The log files under /var/log didn't give any hints either. So, how does one approach this problem? I've attached the control.xml file, if it makes it through the listserv. Thanx, Mike.
