How can I pass the disk name dynamically to the rd.kiwi.oem.installdevice

[Naranthiran]

Problem description

When I remove the rd.kiwi.oem.installdevice=/dev/sda, I cannot install it unattended on my hardware. I also understand that is the expected behaviour.

Can we set the variable manually s 1)oem-device-filter, 2)oem-unattended-id 3) rd.kiwi.oem.maxdisk
so that still I can have the same behaviour of unattended installation

Expected behaviour

I wanted to either kernel pick up the disk automatically and install the OS without human intervention.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

OS and Software information

SUSE Micro OS 5.5

• KIWI version:
• Operating system host version:
• Operating system target version:
• Open Build Service version (N/A if not using OBS):
• Koji version (N/A if not using Koji):

Can anyone help me on this?

If you know the install device name and want to hard set it in your installation ISO image, the following should work

<type ... kernelcmdline="rd.kiwi.oem.installdevice=/dev/sda"/>

This will set the kernel boot option also for the install ISO

Hi @schaefi ,

I wanted a harmonized ISO for the systems with /dev/sda and /dev/nvme0 HDD. And also wanted to perform the unattended installation.

In can if the systems has multiple disk, it can prompt for formatting/cleaning the disk.
