/var/adm/autoinstall/cache is clearly a directory, on which content
you should not relay and which you should not use.
I guess this was temporary generated when generating /root/autoinst.xml 
during installation. So it can contain anything.

/root/autoinst.xml is no longer generated during installation (that's why
you don't see the temporary files any longer), because with SLE12 it is
missing far too many configuration stuff.

You need to create the autoinst.xml file now in the running system with
corresponding YaST2 modules. This will also make sure on SLE12, that
the xml file is really complete and not missing 50% of the stuff.
