I'm trying to install 10.3a4 via SLP, but only ever get a red "can't find installation source" from linuxrc. It appears to be a problem with the SLP server on 10.2, howerver the same config used to work with 10.1:
/etc/slp.reg.d/suseinstall.reg service install.suse:ftp://$HOSTNAME/suse10.3_i386/,en,65535 description SUSE 10.3a4 i386 > slptool findsrvtypes|grep suse service install.suse:ftp slp:/ in konqueror finds everything fine, however slptool findsrvs install.suse:ftp never finds anything, regardless of what particular incantation is used (dumb program). tcpdump shows on the SLP server box: # tcpdump -a -v -i eth0 port 427 tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 17:17:27.053047 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 1, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 161) linux1.site.filenet-tms > 239.255.255.253.svrloc: UDP, length 133 17:17:27.549483 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 1, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 161) linux1.site.filenet-tms > 239.255.255.253.svrloc: UDP, length 133 17:17:28.049505 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 1, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 161) linux1.site.filenet-tms > 239.255.255.253.svrloc: UDP, length 133 So the SLP server never sends a reply. Why? It was configured with yast, hand-edited *.reg which was proved to be working before, firewall disabled. Attempting to install when booting a 10.1 or 10.2 CD1 on another machine (which produced above tcpdump result) likewise results in a red box "can't find anything", also suggesting the problem is the SLP server. There's a rDNS lookup for 239.255.255.253 by the SLP server host, which obviously returns nxdomain as no such number exists on my LAN (or the WAN). slpd.log only contains startup messsages which look ok to me. Ideas? Thanks, Volker PS This SLP caper is nice in theory, but 4 times out of 5 when I want to use it, it doesn't work. :( -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
