loader broadcom driver support
by Sameer Kamat 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hi, I am trying to put the broadcom 57xx and the 44xx support on the CD image. The CD is made from the Fedora Core 1 CD 1. I downloaded the drivers and compiled them for the fedora 2.4.22-1.2115.npt1 kernel, which happens to be the kernel on the CD. I put the bcm5700.o file in the modules.cgz in initrd.img and the stage2.img. Subsequently I also modified the module-info and the pcitable files in both places with the bcm entries. However the modules fails to load. Is there any know issues with the fedora kernels and broadcom drivers? Also I see that there is a modules.pcimap file in the initrd.img modules directory. I had not seen or used this file for Redhat 9.0. Can anyone give me any pointers in this regard? Thanks, Sameer.

[Patch] add support for FCP devices (mainframe)
by Karsten Hopp 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

This patchs adds a configure screen for FCP devices (SCSI over Fibrechannel on mainframe) to the gui mode of anaconda and configures the devices so that they are available for partitioning and installation. It also writes a config file /etc/zfcp.conf to the installed system. Missing stuff: - parsing a config file in the linuxrc (should be easy, support for reading /tmp/fcpconfig is already there, it just needs to be written by linuxrc) - verification if valid hex values are entered - booting a zfcp system (tried with a modified initrd, but it seems that the zfcp module takes to long to initialize) - kickstart support Karsten -- Karsten Hopp <karsten(a)redhat.de> GPG 1024D/70ABD02C Fingerprint D2D4 3B6B 2DE4 464C A432 210A DFF8 A140 70AB D02C Red Hat Deutschland, Hauptstaetter Str.58 70178 Stuttgart, Tel.+49-711-96437-0, Fax +49-711-96437-111

Question on how bootloader configs are done.
by Glen Gray 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Hey Guys, I'm trying to figure out how the grub boot loader gets installed on the target drive. I've checked out the CVS source code but can't find much on it. I've even searched for "grub.conf generated by anaconda" to no avail. Where should I start looking for this stuff ?

RHEL ES 3 text install & setting GMT
by Hal Wine 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

Setting the timezone to GMT is not an option in the text mode install of RHEL ES 3 update 2. Under the GUI installer, there is a 2nd tag for specifying time zone by UTC offset, but not in the text installer. The most unfortunate part is that if I specify 'timezone --utc GMT' in the kickstart file (which works in a non-interactive install), anaconda stack traces & reboots under interactive mode. Any suggestions? --Hal

corrupted RPM DB during kickstart install
by Alex Tang 23 Jul '04

23 Jul '04

Hi folks. I'm working on an install that's using a kickstart file. Everything has been fine, but recently, during the install, the RPM database is getting corrupted while installing packages. From the chroot'ed "/root/install.log" file, i see: ... Installing gdb-6.0post-0.20031117.6.i386. Installing dialog-0.9b-20020814.6.i386. error: db4 error(-30982) from dbcursor->c_put: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: error(-30982) storing record ~Fî^Yw3Y^N/^N_¨ s¼DY¬|1^Ht^O~Z^H into Filemd5s error: db4 error(-30982) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: error(-30982) getting "^Nu^\ R~I^Qæëô¸FÅEÞ^D¬|1^Ht^O~Z^H" records from Filemd5s index ... many more similar lines ... Installing nscd-2.3.2-95.6.i386. error: db4 error(-30982) from db->cursor: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: db4 error(-30982) from db->get: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: error(-30982) getting "nscd" records from Name index error: db4 error(-30982) from db->sync: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery ... more of the same line from above ... Installing ntp-4.1.2-4.i386. error: db4 error(-30982) from db->cursor: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: db4 error(-30982) from db->get: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: error(-30982) getting "ntp" records from Name index error: db4 error(-30982) from db->sync: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: db4 error(-30982) from db->sync: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: db4 error(-30982) from db->sync: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery ... At this point, no other packages install. This is completely reproducible, the install log is identical on two different machines. I've google'd around and all references about this problem say to "rebuild your RPM db using "rpm --rebuilddb". However, in this case, that doesn't work since i'm in kickstart. Does anyone have any ideas about what to do? Thanks. ...alex...

Error with splittree.py
by Manilal K M 21 Jul '04

21 Jul '04

Hello friends, I have build by Coustmozed Fedora Core 1 distribution. But when I tried to pack the CDs into two discs using /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py the following error occured. I havn't seen such error in the anaconda-devel-list or Anaconda Documenation Project(Appendix I). The command and the output I tried is copied below: [root@localhost fedora]# /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py --arch=i386 --total-discs=3 --bin-discs=2 --src-discs=1 --release-string="Kairali Linux 1.0" --pkgorderfile=/home/fedora/pkgorder.txt --distdir=i386 --srcdir=SRPMS --productpath=Kairali Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py", line 455, in ? logfile = timber.main() File "/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py", line 379, in main self.createSplitDirs() File "/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py", line 228, in createSplitDirs os.makedirs("%s-disc%d/%s/RPMS" % (self.dist_dir, i, self.product_path)) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/os.py", line 204, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: 'i386-disc1/Kairali/RPMS' I have removed the existing i386-disc1 directory and made sure that no such directory exists. Still it's reporting that t File exists. Can it be due to error in one of the packages? please help regards Manilal -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.
