I’m trying to install OpenSUSE 11.2 i586 from PXE server.
The PXE is working fine. I have a successful boot to the server and then OpenSUSE starts to load.
Then it stops for a while with “starting udev” and after a while i get error 0x010 and loading is then continued.
At the end I get linuxrc which asks for CD (Which I don’t have).
There I can try to load the setup from TFTP server (I have one on the PXE) which fails as linuxrc can’t find repositories on the server.
On the server I have the contents of the i586 DVD.
note: The target machine is not connected to the internet and I’m unable to connect it.

Judging by your description, they’re not in the right place. That’s
where you need to start looking.
Like Per Jessen, I doubt if your problems about not finding files has anything to do with the udev message. You are apparently so convinced that you did it right on the server, that you concentrate on that udev. But you did not tell very much about how you created that server. Saying “On the server I have the contents of the i586 DVD.” is e.g. not very enlightening. You can have that file a hundred times on that system, but when none of them is on the correct place …
I also tried to load the installation through linuxrc->installation->Network->TFTP and gave it that directory and there I get the “No repositories found error”.

Then you are pointing it to the wrong place. Presumably you’ve got the
DVD loop mounted somewhere, so you need to make that place accessible
via tftp. IIRC, that places is usually <mountpoint>/suse.
OK. The path was wrong in the kickstart file…
So now I don’t have any udev errors bu I still get linuxrc and there are no repositories foubd inside <nountpoint>/suse. Why?

You have linuxrc asking for a CD because you are (presumably) pretending
to install from CD? I had such a setup a long time ago for a small
cluster, but I always installed from nfs or http. I guess it shouldn’t
matter much.
What does ‘ls -l <mountpoint>’ show? (I think I was wrong about
appending /suse).
