autoyast confirm driver activation

[phridge]

Hello:

It seems that no matter how I set up the autoyast file &| the server, I
get a message "Confirm driver activation" and the install pauses until
I answer OK. This happens for usb-storage, dm-mod, and dm-snapshot.
What I thought was the acting code in the xml file was this

<CODE>
<report>
<errors>
<log config:type="boolean">true</log>
<show config:type="boolean">true</show>
<timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout>
</errors>
<messages>
<log config:type="boolean">true</log>
<show config:type="boolean">true</show>
<timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout>
</messages>
<warnings>
<log config:type="boolean">true</log>
<show config:type="boolean">true</show>
<timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout>
</warnings>
<yesno_messages>
<log config:type="boolean">true</log>
<show config:type="boolean">true</show>
<timeout config:type="integer">10</timeout>
</yesno_messages>
</report>
</CODE>

Someone please help as I have 88 servers to install here soon and
answering these confirm driver activations present a hassle. Another
thing it does after the first reboot at the end of the install is
prompts me to "Confirm Hardware Detection" YaST will detect the
following hardware: Network Cards [Continue] [Skip]. Again, I thought
the above would take care of this, I have the network info in the
autoyast file, and after I press the Continue button, it does
everything correctly (automatically).

But now I have (3) prompts at the beginning of each install and (2)
prompts (2 network cards) at the end of each install. I guess it
breaks up the day but I would like to do the installs without prompts
at all. Any suggestions?

I've seen this issue before, it usually occurs when some part of the
download (file download from a network install server) fails. Not
exactly sure why this pops up, but you'll also see it if you start the
AutoYast installation from Linuxrc .

Perhaps you've got some network issue that is causing this problem? For
example, if I install from a network HTTP server and a file download
fails early in the process, I've seen this...
