I'll check for the 'missing kernel' - I have several kernels in the repository, but none just simply named "kernel.rpm (until now, I copied what kernel I normally use over to that name as well)." I'll test this out tomorrow as I'm headed home for the day...</tt> <tt>You'll notice in the apache logs from the box serving up the media that there are 2 404's for a .img file. It never complains about that during the install - Only later after anaconda does its thing and it loads a few more files(product, netstg2 images + hdlist and comps.xml). I copied the media per the documentation, until I found that RH was looking for more than what was documented, then copied everything. I can verify ownership is correct, I did a recursive chown on em all earlier after loading up more stuff off the CDs and actually the permissions are wide open temporarily so my samba user can access them while testing (yea, yea, I know =P). </tt> <tt>Thanks! _______________________________________________ rhn-users mailing list rhn-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users</tt>
