Here is the error message that i get when trying to autoinstall this OS :

Calling the YaST module 'inst_oes_preconfig has failed. More information can be found near the end of the '/var/log/YaST2/y2log' file

The logfile says the following :

Can't find YCP client component inst_oes_preconfig : No such file or directory

Ok, found the solution. If anybody encounters this problem, just add the following rpm into the rpm section of the XML:

[B]yast2-novell-common[/B]n

If anybody needs this specific xml, don’t hesitate to email me.
