I have only one remark regarding samba installation problems: When the installation prompts you for:
Which terminal do want to use? 1) X-Window 2) VNC (VNC-Client or Java enabled Browser) 3) ssh Choice:2 you should NOW mount your installation CD/DVD !!! before you answer the question: Please enter the Password for VNC-Access (6 to 8 characters): Whenever I didn't proceed in such a way I always got an error. It might be related with your problem. Verify you have your CD already inside the CD device. -----Mensaje original----- De: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Caleb C Ong Enviado el: lunes, 19 de marzo de 2007 11:32 Para: [email protected] Asunto: Re: Sles9 network installation using SMB the /var/log/YaST2/y2log has the following errors. 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [Y2PM] Y2PM.cc(instSrcManager):365 Launch InstSrcManager... 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <3> metro(19787) [packagemanager] InstSrcManager.cc(InstSrcManager):57 Unable to create cache /var/adm/Ya ST/InstSrcManager/tmp (errno 2) 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [packagemanager] InstSrcManager.cc(InstSrcManager):62 Not running from system: no init f rom SrcPool 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [Y2PM] Y2PM.cc(instSrcManager):367 Created InstSrcManager @0x833e9c30 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [packagemanager] InstSrcManager.cc(enableDefaultSources):910 Going to enable all default InstSrc'es... 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [packagemanager] InstSrcManager.cc(scanMedia):412 scanMedia smb://Caleb1:[EMAIL PROTECTED] .253.101/suseinstall 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <3> metro(19787) [mediaaccess] MediaHandler.cc(MediaHandler):105 Provided attach point is not a directory : /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/tmp{does not exist} 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [mediaaccess] MediaAccess.cc(open):114 Opened: smb(smb://Caleb1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ suseinstall not attached; localRoot "") 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <3> metro(19787) [mediaaccess] MediaHandler.cc(attach):162 ERROR(Media:bad attach point) 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <3> metro(19787) [packagemanager] InstSrcManager.cc(scanMedia):424 Failed to attach media: ERROR(Media:ba d attach point) 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [mediaaccess] MediaAccess.cc(close):153 Close: smb(smb://Caleb1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ suseinstall not attached; localRoot "") (OK) 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <3> metro(19787) [YCP] Packages.ycp:378 No source on 'smb:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/suseinstall' 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [YCP] Packages.ycp:684 checking selected selection 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [YCP] Packages.ycp:690 selected base is , addon is [] 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [YCP] SpaceCalculation.ycp:269 get_partition_info: part [] 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <3> metro(19787) [Interpreter] SpaceCalculation.ycp:270 Bad args to Pkg::TargetInitDU 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [YCP] SpaceCalculation.ycp:310 INIT done, SpaceCalculation - partitions: [] 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [YCP] Packages.ycp:738 available_base_selections [] 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <3> metro(19787) [YCP] Packages.ycp:742 No base selections available 2007-03-16 07:59:09 <1> metro(19787) [Interpreter] clients/inst_proposal.ycp:68 Called YaST client returned: $["warning":"Can not read package data from installation media.
