Non Graphical AutoYast installations & Kickstart

Hi

We are using Kickstart to push images out for Suse using various releases as far back as 9.0.

The trouble is we often have issues with ILO, ILO2, & ILO3 so prefer to use ssh onto the ILO and use textcons to get a text console.

AutoYast when using the AutoYast.xml file goes into graphical mode and this in turn screws up the text console when doing part 2 of the installation.

Is there a way to run the installs only using a text based version? I've Googled until my eyes ached.

Thanks in advance.
