My experience (rhel 2.1 & 3) is that if you do anything in interactive mode, you will get the reboot prompt. I.e. if you have the 'interactive' directive in your ks.cfg file, the RedHat reboot screen will appear. I got rid of it by writing a custom user interaction called by %pre, and removing the interactive directive from my ks.cfg. But, that's a lot of work... --Hal From amul64 at yahoo.com Tue Oct 5 03:32:50 2004 From: amul64 at yahoo.com (Ajay Mulwani) Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2004 20:32:50 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Replace of Last Screen in running installation program of anaconda (RedHat 9) In-Reply-To: <20041002102106.55674.qmail@web52210.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <20041005033250.27284.qmail@web50007.mail.yahoo.com> post your ks.cfg please.

That should identify all the drives the kernel has found. Obviously you have to skip the actual partitions and keep the disk names. You have to skip cdrom's as well.

SCSI CDs appear as /dev/scd*, and don't appear at all (IIRC) in /proc/partitions, although some CDs (e.g. Solaris installation discs) *do* have a partition table but I don't think Linux fully supports them.

Whichever adapter the PCI scan sees first will be aliased to scsi_hostadapter in modprobe.conf. Here's what happended to me... I ran my normal kickstart scripts on a Compaq server with a cpqarray scsi_hostadapter and a lpfc scsi_hostadapter. The cpqarray is, of course, the Compaq local SCSI array, and lpfc is the driver for the Emulex HBA fibre card. Using RHEL3 update 3, the lpfc driver is detected right out of the box (good), and on this server it was detected *before* the local cpqarray driver (bad). In my kickstart scripts I have "clearpart --all", and since the SAN drive was detected first, the SAN drive was wiped clean, and a new OS was installed on the SAN -- not *at all* what I wanted. So, I'm open to suggestions as to an elagant way to create a kickstart install that forces the order of the scsi_hostadapters.

If you are planning to make changes to the CD set, then you will want to go through and perform all the steps as described in the documentation. The following steps bypass much of the documentation. I tried the steps on a real FC2 cd that I installed from. I received the following errors. They appear to be fatal to me: cp: reading `/mnt/cdrom/Fedora/base/comps.rpm': Input/output error cp: reading `/mnt/cdrom/Fedora/base/hdlist': Input/output error cp: reading `/mnt/cdrom/Fedora/base/hdlist2': Input/output error Moreover, not all of the directories were copied from the cd into my working directory. Since I still had the ISO file that I used to create the CD with I tried these steps. They are a little different from the two sites listed below but have the same intent. You will have to adapt the file paths to your system. (The pathing is for a samba/NFS server.) # Switch to root su - root # Go to the ISO directory location. cd /home/ddrive/fedoracore2 # Mount the ISO file. mount -t iso9660 -o loop FC2-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom #Make a set of working directories mkdir -p /home/fdrive/fc2iso mkdir -p /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386 # Copy the files from the CD/ISO. cp -a /mnt/cdrom/* /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386 cp /mnt/cdrom/.discinfo /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386 # Clean up the original cd TRANS.TBL files. find /home/fdrive/fc2iso -name TRANS.TBL -exec rm -f {} \; # Go to the location of disc 1 files. cd /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386 # Make sure the /home/fdrive/fc2iso/i386 directory has # the same files as the /mnt/cdrom directory . ls -l # Make sure that I create the iso file in the directory # above the directory containing the files in the iso. cd /home/fdrive/fc2iso # Create the iso.

If you would have tried FC1 you may have experienced the same error. It may be helpful for you to print out the documentation located here http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/AnacondaDocumentationProject or here http://www.linuxworks.com.au/redhat-installer-howto.html or paste the steps in a file. As you perform the steps place a check mark by each step or sub-step. This will help you remember where you are if you are interrupted in the process or help you remember the next thing to do. If a step fails you must resolve it before proceeding. This is exactly what I did with the 'Input/output error' messages. When I looked at my copy target directory, it did not have the isolinux directory for example. So if your start using this type of technique, you will be more successful. You will also enjoy what you can do with the open source tools. Greg Edgar Chill?n 'Chillux' wrote: > Men, it works !!!

Message-ID: <200410170642.BHF20451.PBStLGUtSJMDJUNTTUL@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> Hello, I'm using RHEL3 AS. I want the PC power off by executing /sbin/poweroff , but the binary kernel RPM (2.4.21-4.EL) seems to be compiled without ACPI support. The PC supports ACPI, and the power off works for RHL9's kernel (2.4.20-8) and vanilla kernels (2.4.26, 2.4.27) if I recompile them with APM and ACPI support. I recompiled 2.4.21-4.EL with ACPI support (choosing [*] for all ACPI related topics) based on /boot/config-2.4.21-4.EL , but the power off still doesn't work. The PC is IBM's BladeCenter, with HyperThreading and ACPI support, but no APM support ( the kernel says "apm: BIOS not found." ). I tried both UP and SMP kernel configurations. Can the RHEL3's kernel support "power off" functionality using ACPI? Is there a binary kernel RPM compiled with "power off" functionality using ACPI for RHEL3?

This is on different hardware, but I found when upgrading to recent RedHats that the kernel argument "acpi=off" made /sbin/poweroff work. Google has plenty of suggestions if you ask for "linux acpi poweroff".

The qla2300 HBAs are both pathed into a SAN that will present disks, but which shouldn't be touched at all during install (data disks). I find two symptoms : 1) install probes the various scsi luns presented by the HBAs off the SAN, and pops up dialogs complaining when it can't access them as it expects This interrputs the unattanded kickstart 2) The MBR does not get written out correctly to /dev/cciss/c0d0 at the end of the install. My working theory so far is that the order of detection of the scsi_hostadaptors (qla2300 then cciss) is messing things up. I confirmed by looking at /etc/modules.conf on a system built when there were no LUNS presented by the SAN : alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300 alias scsi_hostadapter1 cciss alias scsi_hostadapter2 cciss_2445 So my guess is that it's attempting to write the boot record to /dev/sda (first lun off qla2300 device).. this would be pretty damn bad if there were actual live data that we cared about there :) So I need qla2300 to be below all of the others, and I need it at boot time of the install kernel, in order for this to run smoothly, unattended, and not mess with the san disks regardless of what LUNs are presented. All help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the comment. I tried acpi=off , and just resulted in appearing the message "ACPI disabled". Also "acpi=power-off" didn't work. So "power off" still not working for enterprise kernel. But I found an alternative way. Building the smallest kernel based on 2.4.27 and initrd.img based on busybox, and set GRUB to load them by default. And when I want to power off the PC, execute /sbin/reboot instead of /sbin/poweroff . This results the PC reboot and "power off" immediately. Thank you.

No NFS server? You've instructed Kickstart to fetch its config file fro "ks=nfs:192.168.20.100:/tftpboot/fc2/ks.cfg", specifying an "nfs" server (the other [network] option is http). To quickly setup NFS, try this: 1. Add a line "/tftpboot *(ro,async)" to /etc/exports 2. Start up the "portmap", "nfslock", and "nfs" services in order (e.g. "service portmap start"), if they're not already running.

Neither are trivial, but instructions for both can be found (sorry, no links to hand) in the archives of this or anaconda-devel lists. Possibly easier if you could use a driver disk (pass "dd" argument when booting anaconda kernel).

Seth, that's a useful piece of code for freshening up directories, but have you any idea where these RPM utils spend all their time? Any librpm app really, either Python or command line, seems to take forever sending my load average sky-high, when all it [superficially] has to do it read some formatted header from 1000-odd files, which to my mind should be the work of seconds.

But, when I changed > the server ip to its dns name in the kickstart file, everything works. You're right. I was using "ks" instead of "ks=nfs:nfs.domain.tld:/kickstart" because, by default, kickstart can take the same host than dhcp service if next-server isn't provided. I guess it's trying to use IP address instead FQDN... But if I defined an "next-server" for this group of host, this directive bypass class "pxeclient" and I can't boot by PXE anymore...

You could capture more debugging output from wget, e.g. wget -O outfile -o /tmp/wget.log -d sleep 600 During the 10 minute sleep, you could switch to the VT2, which runs a shell during kickstart (Alt+F2), and check the log in /mnt/sysimage/tmp, or try running wget by hand.

We have developed a system that allows to install various file formats easily in post and to be able to simply keep the install tree and the installed computers in sync. We mount an directory via NFS in %post and execute some script found in the postscripts/ subdir. These scripts do varios things ans start with numbers (Sys V init like) to get called in the right order: * Install RPM, TARs, patches contained in a subdir per file format. * Copy a directory tree to / containing edited config files. * Doing some configuration, like calling chkconfig * inserting this To be more flexible we use several directories (I call packages) with the same structure. In addition we use an update mechnism that keeps an version number per package on each maschine. This version number is kept uptodate in the install tree, so newly installed maschines do not install updates. Each package has an update/ dir which contains updates in the form MAJOR.MINORNAME. MAJOR and MINOR are numbers NAME is ignored. A smal python script installes all new updates and increases the local version number. Updates can be files or symlinks. Some known name patterns are treated special like: *.rpm, *.tar, *.tgz, *.tar.gz, *.patch */files/* (links to files in our tree of changed files). Everything else is treated as an script. We even have a script that sets the symlinks with the right number. This allows to fix the install tree and simply set an symlink an the new/changed file in most cases. There is some documentation available http://w3studi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/dokumentation/wiki/KickStart http://w3studi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/dokumentation/wiki/FeDora1 but it is a bit outdated and not in ane excellent state... Most parts should be English some passages are still German cu Florian Festi Btw: Right now we install most RPM with yum and a RPM list. This seams to be very slow but more stable and less error prone that Anaconda.

When considering deconstructing comps/comps.xml, I'd only modify the file: - if replacements to the RH-provided packages were required - to exploit the dependency hierarchy of the comps structure - certain multi-lingual issues (but this is kickstart-list, not interactive-install-list) In our [relatively homogenous] shop, all machines get the same base packagelist, and there's no replacement of, say, RedHat's Ximian collection with Red Carpet. What we *do* heavily customize are the specific additions and removals to get exactly the required packages. For example, gcc is in, but almost all of the -devel packages are out, which helps to keep the installed image nice and small. Pre-patch vs yum/up2date? Putting all the RPMs in RedHat/RPMS vs %post scripts? Both will work fine technically, so the decision then moves into softer areas such as time-to-deploy, maintainability etc. Once the packages are on though, we use a good deal of %post-invoked scripts to tweak about 30 different things; again what you do here will depend a lot on internal requirements.

I seem to remember that somewhere along the way, RedHat required that updated rpms had to be installed in order. I used to replace the CD rpms with the latest updates and rebuild the headers for my installations but that stopped working. So, I shifted to installing the CD rpms as is, then in the %post section, putting all the updates in in the order they were released. > Once the packages are on though, we use a good deal of %post-invoked > scripts to tweak about 30 different things; again what you do here will > depend a lot on internal requirements. > > Yes, I also do most of my stuff in the %post section. Besides the updates for an install of a new machine, I have a lot of scripts that do post-configuration mainly site customizations and to comply with local security requirements. One point I will mention: If there are a lot of update rpms (like if you're running an old RedHat release), the updating part in %post takes a pretty long time. Cheers!

They do; the package ordering moved out of anaconda some time around FC2 or RHEL3. What was a simple "genhdlist" became a "genhdlist;pkgorder;genhdlist" (incomplete, ask Google). >One point I will mention: If there are a lot of update rpms (like if >you're running an old RedHat release), the updating part in %post takes >a pretty long time. There's a slight optimization used when in "install" mode; the RPM transaction is done "unsafely" with regard to the DB4 writes. Your command-line rpm (probably) doesn't do this. Search for "nofsync" in the anaconda sources.

It bombs out if your RPM list is not 100% correct. yum (with proper params) just issues an error message. Upgrading our kickstart installation to a new version has been a permanent pain because of this. Doing an manual updgrade and run rpm -qa doesn't help as we ahve RPMs that are not part of the RH RPM directory.

You will want to look at this site http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/AnacondaDocumentationProject and http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/part-install-info.html. In general, what you can do here http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ can be automated with a kickstart file--it just fills in all the screen prompts for you. A kickstart file is created of an install in the /root users home directory. That can be the basis for other scripts. Your knowledge of scripting languages and Linux can be leveraged to create a very sophisticated install script. I hope that gets you started.

Does > anyone have any suggestions? ... I just came across the pax command. The -rw mode is a copy function. The preserve, -p eop, options may be redundant but it works ok. I used it to copy several user's home directories with all their dot files to a new server via nfs. I left myself with a captain's log that you could adapt for this process. You must copy from the source directory! # Copy all the files from /home to /home # 1. Mount the source directory into /mnt/cdrom # I was too lazy to make a new mount point. # mount -t nfs baloo:/home /mnt/cdrom # 2. cd into source directory # cd /mnt/cdrom # 2. The target directory should have been created above # 3. pax -rw -p eop . /targetdir # pax -rw -p eop . /home # 4. Unmount the source directory # umount /mnt/cdrom Pax can also operate on tar and cpio files. You can also copy files by user, etc.--it's very powerful. For what it is worth, I found it on MS Windows 2000 at work. I am sure Billy Boy thought we would tar and cpio all our files up and untar them on MS Windows with one combination command. However, it might make MS Windows useful as a work around until a Linux box is available. ;-) Greg From blin at na.uni-tuebingen.de Thu Oct 28 10:46:42 2004 From: blin at na.uni-tuebingen.de (Kai Blin) Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 12:46:42 +0200 Subject: Segfaults on kickstart In-Reply-To: References: <200410221251.47217.blin@na.uni-tuebingen.de> Message-ID: <200410281246.42948.blin@na.uni-tuebingen.de> On Friday 22 October 2004 13:00, Philip Rowlands wrote: [...] > >kickstart file from the nfs server, and after that it dies. > > Segfaults on a single machine smells strongly of bad hardware.

I thought I had the error when DFT gave me a hard disk error, but even replacing the whole box with another box with the same hardware setup didn't help. The same segfault at the same step in the kickstart. As that system check fine on all of the tests, I think I can rule out a hardware problem. > >I'm currently checking the hardware on this box, but is there any way > >to get some more debugging information from kickstart? > > How does it die? Can you use the bash session on VT2? No, after it segfaults, the system goes down. I can't access the bash session. Looking at the log in VT3, the last thing it says is: [snip] * doing kickstart... setting it up * url is : * file location: After that it's dead.

Sorry for the late reply, but here goes.: We're using a homegrown assortments of scripts that rsync over configuration details on a os/host-class/host basis, installs third-party rpms and does other little work in the kickstart %post section.

Everything is generated out of one xml file + configuration files placed under a directory. What are the benefits of this compared to manually writing kickstart files for each type of computer configuration you have? * What would normally be included in the %post-section is instead being installed as generated configuration RPMs. This has a consequence that there is no problem of keeping already installed machines and new installed machines in sync. The configuration rpms are pulled in by "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "yum update". * Minimizing redundant information. %post-sections in different kickstart-files tend to have a lot of common text. Group the commands into different configuration RPMs and just create dependencies on the configuration RPMs that you want. * Documentation of how all computers are configured is automatically generated in HTML-format. cheers, Erik Sj?lund From peter at boku.net Thu Oct 28 19:56:23 2004 From: peter at boku.net (Peter Eisch) Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 14:56:23 -0500 Subject: ks.cfg In-Reply-To: <20041028161516.9584.qmail@web50002.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Here is mine: ... %packages %pre FOO="no" while [ "$FOO" != "yes" ] do ( echo echo "*************************************************************************** *****" echo "* W A R N I N G *" echo "* *" echo "* You are starting the BOGOMIP NAME SOFTWARE installation *" echo "* process.
