AutoYast installation errors

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,

I have created an autoyast profile and have stored in my website so that I can refer to it during an automated installation.

When i tried invoking the autoinstallation with
autoyast=“http://…/autoinst.xml” it didn’t work.

After some messing around, the following worked:

autoyast=“http://…/autoinst.xml” install=“http://www.google.ca/”
this then gave me an error that it couldn’t find the install repository. Following the prompts, I told the installer to continue installation from the cd-rom/dvd after which the installation worked.

how do i specify the dvd installation from the start when using the autoyast parameter?

[noparse]http://download.opensuse.org[/noparse] is down right now.
Check here: It’s not just you!

what does down.opensuse.org being down have to do with it?

i want to install from dvd. the profile is stored on my own website, not any where on opensuse website

Then it’s another problem. But don’t do any update, as a normal installation would offer to do, as it will fail now.

Does anyone else have any other solution?

I have also tried this suggestion I googled for:

autoyast=http://…/auotinst.xml install=cd

but this did not work either. The only thing that worked for me as I stated above was: autoyast=http://…/autoinst.xml install=<some incorrect url>
and then wait for the error about not being able to find the repository and then tell it to continue the installation with the dvd as the source

bump…

anyone have an idea?
