Yast tried downloading the content of /boot directory:

The problem is here:

The downloaded directory index file (directory.yast) is empty so the recursive download is immediately finished (nothing to download).

Please check the repository on the server and copy /boot directory from 11.1 properly.

successfully created image y2log

The directory.yast is there and available:
werkbak:~ # curl http://192.168.1.240/suse/11.1/boot/directory.yast
i386/

However, if I make the installation repo available over NFS, it suddenly works! Same repo, only now over NFS. 

The problem with the creation of an image with kiwi remains however:

"Target architecure of the current configuration (i586) does not match the
system configuration (i386). Kiwi cannot create images for different architectures."

I will attach three supplementary y2logs. I have created new files for every iso I created. 

The first attachment, y2log_fail_i586_http.gz, shows again the failed creation over http

The second attachment, y2log_success_i586_nfs, shows a successful creation over nfs.

The third attachment is the log for what happens when I select the successfully created image from y2log_success_i586_nfs.gz and I try to make a kiwi image from it. This log is called y2log_failed_create_kiwi.gz

kiwi image creation fails because of architecture problem

Jiri, the check in the kiwi part looks buggy:
2009-01-15 11:39:47 <1> werkbak(14525) [Pkg] ProductCreator.ycp:190 Pkg Builtin called: SystemArchitecture
2009-01-15 11:39:47 <1> werkbak(14525) [Pkg] Arch.cc(SystemArchitecture):94 Default system architecture: i686
2009-01-15 11:40:11 <3> werkbak(14525) [YCP] Report.ycp:472 Target architecture of the current configuration (i586)
does not match the system architecture (i386).

Kiwi cannot create images for different architectures.

The target is i586, the system is i686, but the message contains i386 (that's what Arch::architecture() returned).

I think Pkg::SystemArchitecture() should be used instead of Arch::architecture() and in some cases it should be possible to continue (on compatible architectures like i586 and i686).

The result will not be exactly what expected, in this case the kiwi target architecture will be i686, but if it's acceptable for user yast should continue.

The problem with missing files when using a http repository is a different problem, reported separately as bug #484263.

I hope it is enough to use ProductCreator::GetArch instead of ProductCreator::Config["arch"], because GetArch tranfroms i*86 to i386
