Hello,  
for doing a pxe installation with autoyast and sles11 sp3 and the driver for dell perc h330 we are following the instructions in:  
[http://drivers.suse.com/dell/Dell\_PERC\_H330/sle11-sp3-x86\_64/1.0/install-readme.html](http://drivers.suse.com/dell/Dell_PERC_H330/sle11-sp3-x86_64/1.0/install-readme.html)

In pxelinux.cfg/default we have the following:

label linux  
kernel linux  
append initrd=initrd ramdisk\_size=65536 install=http://pxeserver\_ip/distro addon=http://pxeserver\_ip/bdk autoyast=http://pxeserver\_ip/profiles/autoyast.xml

Is this correct? Cause in the install-readme there is no example with autoyast attribute.

Thanks and BR/  
Cristina

Hi Cristina,

I ran into this issue myself and got stuck in the same place. I made 2 changes and I’m not sure if both are needed or only one. These were the 2 things I did:

Created an “add\_on\_products.xml” file and added it to the Suse install location (i.e. [http://pxeserver\_ip/distro](http://pxeserver_ip/distro))

 \<?xml version="1.0"?\>

\<add\_on\_products xmlns=“[http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns](http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns)”  
xmlns:config=“[http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns](http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns)”\>  
\<product\_items config:type=“list”\>  
\<product\_item\>  
Dell PERC H330 Bootable Driver Kit  
http://pxeserver\_ip/bdk  
/  
\<ask\_user config:type=“boolean”\>false\</ask\_user\>  
true  
\</product\_item\>  
\</product\_items\>  
\</add\_on\_products\>

i also edited autoyast.xml adding the following:

 http://pxeserver\_ip/bdk DELL\_PERC\_H330 / Dell PERC H330 Bootable Driver Kit false 

The setting for “product” I found in the BDK “content” file where it says “NAME DELL\_PERC\_H330” Note that the metadata name needs to match the “product” field in autoyast.xml, and the “name” field in autoyast can be any friendly name you want. I hope that’s clear and not confusing.
