Hello all,  
Im new you suse linux but not linux as a whole. I am trying to use autoyast to install SLED 11 sp3. I have set up a thumb drive with grub2 and i am able to pass in my paraleter to the linux kernel

linux /boot/linux root=(hd0,msdos1) textmode=1 autoyast=file://autoinst.xml install=hd://sda1/boot/SLED-11-SP3-i586/  
initrd /boot/initrd  
boot

the installation media mounts and goes through its normal HW probe but then throws the following error

The xml parser reported an error while parsing the autoyast profile. the error is a directoryDocument is empty  
start tag expected, ‘\<’ not found.

How do I get the profile to load to autoinstall the os?  
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try with “autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml …” i.e. with three  
forward slash (/) characters.

Try with “autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml …” i.e. with three  
forward slash (/) characters.

thanks for the reply. Adding the additional / produced the following error

An error Occured while fetching the profile:  
reading file on /var/adm/mount//autoinst.xml failed  
reading file on /autoinst.xml failed  
reading a file on CD failed. Path : /tmp/yast2-03322-4hz1gz/tmp\_mount//autoinst.xml.

I looks like it is trying a couple of directories to find the xml file but no luck. Any thoughts?

When you’re in the system (after seeing the error) do you see the path  
where that file is? Maybe it has a difference device which you can pass  
in, but right now it seems you and Grub disagree on how to reach the USB  
stick once running the installer.

Seeing the output from the ‘mount’ command would be a fair starting point,  
in my opinion.

–  
Good luck.

How did you create the autoinst.xml file? Can you perhaps post the  
contents, or at least the first few lines (wrapped in [CODE] tags)?

## Radio and modem clocks by convention have addresses in the

## form 127.127.t.u, where t is the clock type and u is a unit

## number in the range 0-3.

## 

## Most of these clocks require support in the form of a

## serial port or special bus peripheral. The particular

## device is normally specified by adding a soft link

## /dev/device-u to the particular hardware device involved,

## where u correspond to the unit number above.

## Generic DCF77 clock on serial port (Conrad DCF77)

## Address: 127.127.8.u

## Serial Port: /dev/refclock-u
