Hi all

   I am trying  SLES10-beta8 installation to  iscsi-target.

  When booted from SLES-10-beta8  installation Disk1,  I could not goto
some iscsi-GUI to give iscsi-target IP and initiatorname. Is there a
iscsi-configuration-GUI/Menu  available for the user during the install
time?

To  be able to try installation to iscsi-target, I went to
command-prompt(ctrl+alt+f2) and loaded drivers(iscsi_tcp, e1000),
assigned static IP address, start iscsid, run iscsiadm -discovery +
iscsiadm -login.  I could connect to the iscsi-target  and had the
remote disk in the installation-partition menu.  Main issue appears
after the installation is started and is in the middle. The machine will
freeze, can't do anything. I tried several times , and it always will
freeze before being able to finish the installation.  Is it the
open-iscsi driver issue(version 0.5.473-11)?  Or is there something I
need to configure properly to be able to install to iscsi-target? I am
just doing a minimal base system install.

Also I noticed through local-install that there is an open-iscsi support
in /sbin/mkinitrd of SLES10-beta8. Will installer automatically create
iscsi enabled initrd image, once it knows installation was made to iscsi
target?

Thanks in advance
