Yes, I've seen similar issues. A further issue is that boottool needs to be built, but the libraries are in the SDK iso and no in DVD1. Consider a work-item :) (feel free to file it in github, I think). SLES is definitely not supported as fully as RH/FC, in my experience. -Nish _______________________________________________ Autotest-kernel mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/autotest-kernel
