From seph at directionless.org Tue Aug 3 20:11:01 2004 From: seph at directionless.org (seph) Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 16:11:01 -0400 Subject: continuing gigabit troubles Message-ID: I finally got a chance to play with the update 2 stuff on my gigabit machines. The results were not encouraging. I have several broadcom 82545EM gigabit cards. They worked fine with a kickstart cd made from the update1 cd. They did *not* work when booted with an update2 cd. The e1000 on some of my motherboards failed to work either either. I've been making the isolinux portion of my kickstart cd, by copying the parts right off disc1. Is there a more correct way to be doing this? Did update2 solve other people's problems? seph From hal at reactivity.com Wed Aug 4 16:10:18 2004 From: hal at reactivity.com (Hal Wine) Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2004 09:10:18 -0700 Subject: Prompt command line for "linux checkmedia" or screen for "Test" CD In-Reply-To: <20040804083633.94116.qmail@web20627.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20040804083633.94116.qmail@web20627.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <41110A6A.3020802@reactivity.com> Chan Hang Lam wrote, around 08/04/2004 01:36 AM: > Dear all, > > I am making a customized CD.

Try values like: prompt 60 timeout 600 and see if you get a boot: prompt line on which you can enter 'linux mediacheck' --Hal From TSpeckbacher at quova.com Thu Aug 5 19:09:03 2004 From: TSpeckbacher at quova.com (Tobias Speckbacher) Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2004 12:09:03 -0700 Subject: lvm over raid Message-ID: Hi, I am trying to automate an install, but the disk config synthax is not real obvious to me.

There is code in anaconda that won't allow mediacheck to run if you are using kickstart.

You probably kept the same release number. Either increase the release number in the .spec file and rebuild it, or remove the old version and install the new one.

Yes, you have to create it. If you are running as root, you can just use /usr/src/redhat/SPECS... The easiest way to create the $HOME/rpmbuild directories is to install the fedora-rpmdevtools from http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/, and then run fedora-buildrpmtree.

We were assuming that you had all of the CDs in /fedora. If you have them somewhere else, just create a link from there to /fedora. E.g., I have this on one of my machines: ls -la /fedora lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 21 2004 /fedora -> /redhat/fc2 I created this link by running `ln -s /redhat/fc2 /fedora`. In that directory, you should have an i386 directory that contains all of the CDs (or the DVD).

Now, I'm trying to set up a kickstart of Fedora Core 2. So far, I've tested it on two machines. On the first machine (VMware Virtual PC) it works fine.

If you are upgrading a system you can use a grub entry like so http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg05948.html All you have to do is have an NFS, ftp, or html server available with the ISOs. If you have a partition on the same computer that will not be formatted during install, then you can place the ISOs there. Anaconda will mount each ISO as required. It's so nice. You can startup an install and do something else...like go to sleep and reboot in the morning!

If you run build-fc1, you don't have to follow the other 15 steps. The last part of build-fc1 calls mkfedora-cd, which creates the ISO images.

You will need to remove the RPMS that you don't want to get the size down under 650MB (instead of the 1.9GB you had originally). Also, remove reference to those RPMS in the comps.xml file.

My guess is that you need to add the rpm.RPMTRANS_FLAG_NODOCS to the transaction set. I would try it in packages.py under def getAnacondaTS in the anaconda source. Rebuild that rpm, install it in your tree and rerun buildinstall.

Not sure if you can access to this link :( https://enterprise.redhat.com/issue-tracker/?module=issues&action=view&tid=35828&gid=43 Following infos are excerpted from the issue 35828: "... I have run this by our installer engineers and they have confirmed you are seeing correct behavior. Anaconda is designed to check every disk it can find on the system for a valid partition table, if there isn't one, we warn the user and prompt them to re-initilize the disk. ... If *** has strong feelings about this, we can take this up as an RFE to add an "ignoredisk" type option to kickstart. " The final comment by RedHat: " At this point, there isn't anything in Anaconda to tell it to just ignore a disk. The behavior has always been to prompt the user in the case of any disk problems regardless if you are actually installing to it or not. I do not yet have an answer as to if we will add code to ignore certain disks during an installation. " Rgds, WangNan "Koree A.

Apologies for the late post, but I thought I'd clear up this misconception. Kickstarting from a Satellite server (ala RHN Provisioning) actually does allow one to exclude packages, just fine. Simple prefix the package name(s) with "-", just as you would in a kickstart config without the Satellite. This is true now and was true in July, based on my personal experience.

I did this, but didn't write anything about it :) Just put the kernel (vmlinuz) and initrd.img into a directory called "syslinux" and run syslinux on the device (syslinux -s /dev/sda..., I think). Put a syslinux.cfg file with the information (as the isolinux.cfg on the install CD). You're set.

If you mean Advanced Server 2.1, it is based on RH 7.3, and did not use isolinux. Sounds like you're looking at the wrong documentation set.

Well, if you're still using a kernel from 2 years ago, there isn't much chance of a better resolution. If you use a 2.6 kernel then the network device will be picked up, otherwise you have to build e1000 modules using Intel code and inject both the new module file into the initrd as well as edit the pcitable to have an entry for the newer PCI ID of these nics. - -- Jesse Keating RHCE (http://geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (http://www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (http://geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?

I was looking at Enterprise version 3 documentation. I didn't think there would be that much difference but there must be. I have now located the ES 2.1 Installation Guide and there is no mention of how to make a bootable cdrom from the installation cdrom. Do you confirm that I can only make a bootable floppy and not a bootable cdrom from version 2.1? Once again, many thanks for your help.

If you mean Advanced Server 2.1, it is based on RH 7.3, and did not use isolinux. Sounds like you're looking at the wrong documentation set. AS 2.1 used syslinux and created a floppy image for booting, in the dosutils/autoboot/cdboot.img file. --Hal _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Huge difference! If you're just starting, I would recommend RHEL 3 variants. The upgrade from 2.1 to 3 for custom ISOs is not trivial -- avoid it if you can. > I have now located the ES 2.1 Installation Guide and there is no mention > of how to make a bootable cdrom from the installation cdrom. Do you > confirm that I can only make a bootable floppy and not a bootable cdrom > from version 2.1? Nope -- I don't confirm. You can make a bootable cdrom. However, the technique used in that era was to create a floppy image on the cd, and pass that floppy image to mkisofs. Basically, that meant you're limited in size to about 2.8MB, and may have to play games if you need to add drivers, etc. Assuming you need to modify the boot image for something like adding your own ks.cfg and boot.msg files, you need to do something like: mount -o loop $temp/cd/dosutils/autoboot/cdboot.img $temp/floppy cp -f syslinux.cfg boot.msg $temp/floppy # this is the gziped install runtime filesystem image gunzip -c $temp/floppy/initrd.img > $temp/floppy.initrd mount -o loop $temp/floppy.initrd $temp/redhat # copy in our kickstart file - needs to be in /tmp cp ks.cfg $temp/redhat/tmp umount $temp/redhat gzip -9c $temp/floppy.initrd > $temp/floppy/initrd.img umount $temp/floppy # then build with mkisofs -fJrT\ -b dosutils/autoboot/cdboot.img\ -c boot.cat\ -V "your name here"\ -o $temp/install.iso $temp/cd --Hal From e_chillon at yahoo.com.mx Tue Aug 17 16:33:32 2004 From: e_chillon at yahoo.com.mx (=?iso-8859-1?q?Edgar=20Chill=F3n=20'Chillux'?=) Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 11:33:32 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Text mode manipulation In-Reply-To: <1092760289.21572.11.camel@bad.jf.intel.com> Message-ID: <20040817163332.95437.qmail@web52207.mail.yahoo.com> When you do this (ba) when you make the iso it takes the rpm's and binaries for the /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS and /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 ? --- "Taylor, ForrestX" escribi?: > On Tue, 2004-08-17 at 09:27, Taylor, ForrestX wrote: > > On Tue, 2004-08-17 at 09:02, Edgar Chill??n > 'Chillux' wrote: > > > Why when I edit any file in the path > > > /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/anaconda-9.2/textw > > > to change the text in the text installation > (when I > > > build the iso) it takes it's original images of > the > > > fedora ... > > > > > > I follow all the steps : > > > > > > rpm -ivh anaconda-9.2-2.src.rpm > > > change the images in the source > > > cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS > > > rpmbuild -bp anaconda.spec > > > > > > What am I doing rong ? > > > > rpmbuild -bp just builds up to the patches.

No. rpmbuild -ba creates the rpms in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 and the source rpm in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS. You will have to copy the newly created anaconda rpms to your build area and replace the existing anaconda rpms (in i386/Fedora/RPMS/). Once you replace them, rebuild using buildinstall, et al. That will generate new discs using the new anaconda and your new images.

I run a post-install script (using dialog) with a series of questions for adding a machine to our environment (NIS, IP, etc).

My problem is that I'm getting strange (ascii?) characters in all of my dialog boxes where the lines (borders) should be. I have tried several variations to my dialog commands, but none has worked.

Erm, that's creating hda1, not hdb. The "b" in the command above is short for "block", i.e. a block (not a character) device.

When the system boots back up, there are dialog boxes with the issue that you describe. ${SYSFONT} is set to something like "latcyrheb" by default. After having given this some additional thought, I'm not really sure how to make the redefined value part of the %post environment. Maybe if you copied in the new /etc/sysconfig/i18n, and then re-run the initscript that reads that file (whatever script that may be). Then start your dialog stuff. Sincerely, John S.

FTP servers don't have to log you straight into "/", or even a fake chroot-ed "/". So wget takes the combination of the reported login directory ("/" in this case), and the directory given in the URL ("var/redhat.disks/redhat-9.0/RedHat/base"), sticks them together and tries to cd to /var/redhat.disks/redhat-9.0/RedHat/base, which fails. Are you sure the FTP server is set up and working properly for that directory structure?

So quick to blame... :) Did you check your %pre partioning did what you intended?

If I go alt-f2 and run fdisk it is all good and all partitions are "fd" except the extended partition which is "f": chosen because that's what diskdruid chose. More suggestions? Thanks, Blair.

In this command, IP should be replaced with the IP address of the system on which you want the display to appear. On the system you want the display to appear on, you must execute the command xhost +remotehostname, where remotehostname is the name of the host from which you are running the original display. Using the command xhost +remotehostname limits access to the remote display terminal and does not allow access from anyone or any system not specifically authorized for remote access. ------------ -- Best Regards, -------------------- -*- If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem -*- From phr at doc.ic.ac.uk Sat Aug 21 11:13:39 2004 From: phr at doc.ic.ac.uk (Philip Rowlands) Date: Sat, 21 Aug 2004 12:13:39 +0100 (BST) Subject: Did anyone try to use DISPLAY option ?

I'm not exactly holding my breath, since 3Com 940 doesn't even work on the kernel booted by RHEL after installation. the card works fine in vanilla 2.4.24 (or so) and in 2.6. and, since ypbind breaks on vanilla 2.4-kernels with RHEL 3.0 WS, we're running 2.6 on a lot of machines here at the moment. but hey, I got a few (well, four) installs done with the USB pen today, which is kind of nice. we generate kickstart-files for all our boxes via a tool that sets things like IP-addresses and such things for the install and the finished box. so, on the USB pen I now have the kickstart-files to install any machine at the department, and also full rescue-CD-support. very neat! now, that was with 256MB and a lot to spare. :-) -- Terje From andy.ciordia at pgdc.com Thu Aug 26 11:51:16 2004 From: andy.ciordia at pgdc.com (Andy Ciordia) Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 07:51:16 -0400 Subject: Follow-up: Re: Intel EE1000 KS Network Connectivity Issue In-Reply-To: <200408170901.47419.jkeating@j2solutions.net> References: <4122185E.10105@pgdc.com> <200408170834.00845.jkeating@j2solutions.net> <412225CE.1030209@pgdc.com> <200408170901.47419.jkeating@j2solutions.net> Message-ID: <412DCEB4.3010606@pgdc.com> Jesse Keating wrote: >On Tuesday 17 August 2004 08:35, Andy Ciordia wrote: > > >>I've just been verifying that the current ground I stand on is >>untenable.

Ah. I still think that it will be easier to rebuild anaconda with your image, and then rerun buildinstall. buildinstall will create the stage2.img for you with the images in anaconda. To recreate the stage2.img, loop-back mount the stage2.img and copy everything in it (including the .buildstamp) to a new directory (I'll call it stage2/). Copy your file to the correct place and rebuild the stage2.img: mkcramfs stage2 stage2.img Copy that stage2.img to the original directory and voila!

Message-ID: <200408272232.HBF60969.889521B6@anet.ne.jp> Hello, I have a problem with network install. I'm installing via NFS, having options for ks=nfs:X.X.X.X:/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 in syslinux.cfg and nfs --server=X.X.X.X --dir=/iso in ks.cfg . The "switching hub" I'm using have the following problem. "When a client boots and gets IP address using DHCP, the network link temporarily downs for 3 or 4 seconds." And because of this problem, the NFS mount often fails. The error "The directory can't be mounted." (The message appears in Japanese, so I don't know the corresponding one in English.), but just pressing 'Enter' without any changes will succeed NFS mount. Also I tried "ks=http://X.X.X.X/ks.cfg" but still often fails. Another poor "switching hub" doesn't have this problem and NFS mount always work, so I think it's not a server side problem. So, I want anaconda retry NFS mount again after sleeping a few seconds if the first trial fails. And I want /sbin/loader ( this program retrieves ks.cfg, doesn't it ? ) retry retrieving ks.cfg again after sleeping a few seconds if the first trial fails. Are there any options to retry ? Is it possible to customize /sbin/loader from source code ? Regards.

I even tried fresh hardware, and ran into the same problems. I have removed all scripts, and all "part" and "raid" commands, and then one can use disk-druid to partition the drives manually. This is not really acceptable for larger organisations, but it will work for us in the meantime. One thing I did not try is to put the nodes in the tmp directory as disk-druid does. Perhaps there was a conflict there. Also, installing mdadm in the %pre script might improve the raid creation according to suggestions in the Software-Raid-HOWTO. I am out of time on this project, so any other takers would be great! Sorry to all that I could not get it working, and best of luck to anyone else who endeavours to persevere. TAFN, Blair.

I do not recall any options to retry an NFS mount or options for a longer timeout. However, you can rebuild loader from the anaconda src.rpm.

Linux is case sensitive, so you need to: cp ImgXP /XP Did you create /XP in the partitioning phase as FAT32? What kind of image is ImgXP? Normally you would have to use dd to copy the image block by block instead of just using copy. cp ImgXP /XP will copy the image file to /XP, not write the image to the partition. You probably want `dd if=ImgXP of=/dev/hda1`.

To add new packages, you can change the anaconda code to read your ks.cfg, add the packges to be installed during %post, or run up2date/yum after first boot.
