[sles-beta] SLES12 RC1 Installation - a first impression

[Ronny Pretzsch]

Hello,

For now we are very disappointed by this so called "Release Candidate".
As posted before with beta 10: Basic Autoyast things do not work.

(1)
If you use a classic root + separate boot partition the system does not
boot into stage 2 unless you explicitly activate the boot partition in
the xml file.

(2)
Still the network config from autoyast.xml is not applied in stage1,
thus registering with SMT / Customer Center is impossible.

(3)
The autoyast init-script is still executed while the login prompt
(tty1-6) appears. Thus the user thinks the system is ready while it's
not.

(4)
After manual installation with setting up network config early and
registering to SMT the resulting /root/autoinst.xml does not contain any
hint of this.

(5)
After manunal installation with firewall enabled (default) the resulting /root/autoinst.xml does not contain a firewall section.
