Changing the default theme
by Manilal K M 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Hello everybody, I don't know whether this query is an offtopic. However I need information regarding it. I have custom compiled the FC-4 and installed it sucessfully with the great help from anaconda-devel-list. Now I need to change the default theme clearlooks to "Simple". I edited the patch associated with redhat-artwork (redhat-artwork-0.121-clearlooks.patch) and the file "redhat-artwork-0.122/gtkrc1-skel" and changed them to "Simple". However I noticed NO change in the theme. After Logging in I still get the default Blucurve icons and Clearlooks theme. Kindly advice. regards Manilal

More than 128 SCSI devices...
by patrickd＠vmware.com 22 Dec '05

I was just looking through devnodes.c in isys/ and I noticed there's a snip of code that looks like: int devMakeInode(char * devName, char * path) { ... } else drive = devName[2] - 'a'; /* only 128 SCSI drives, sorry */ if (drive > 128) return -1; else if (drive < 16) ... Why the restriction on 128 drives? Shouldn't we be able to support 256 drives? I've been bumping up against this when booting certain machines with SAN attached to them and a motherload of LUNs. Anaconda freaks out and says: Waiting for the X Server to start... log located in /tmp/X.log 1...2...3...4...5... X server started successfully. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1016, in ? iutil.makeDriveDeviceNodes() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 415, in makeDriveDeviceNodes isys.makeDevInode (drive, "/dev/%s" % (drive,)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 372, in makeDevInode _isys.mkdevinode(name,fn) System Error : (2, 'no such file or directory') install exited abnormally sending termination signals ... done sending kill signals ... done disabling swap ... unmounting filesystem ... /mnt/runtime done disabling /dev/loop0 /proc/bus/usb done /proc done /dev/pts done /temp/ramfs done /mnt/source done You may safely reboot your system

Re: Wanted some documentation about modifying anaconda

Hm.,, Selinux is not working on my respin. Anaconda reads /selinux/policyvers and insists that the policy be an exact match. With the 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 the policyver is 20 but there aren't any updated selinux packages available for version 20. Normally when selinux starts up on boot time it isn't as picky about getting an exact match and it just loads version 19. I'm not sure if anaconda is too strict or if the startup programs are not strict enough. There is

RE: Kickstart over OpenIB?

I think as long as your ib card will pxe boot, things may work normally. If we ensure the vmlinuz + initrd.img and the has the ib drivers in it, we should be good to go. Just need to make sure the installed kernel has the openib drivers as well. -----Original Message----- From: anaconda-devel-list-bounces(a)redhat.com [mailto:anaconda-devel-list-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Jeremy Katz Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 9:11 AM To: Brian Long Cc: anaconda-devel-list(a)redhat.com Subject: Re: Kickstart over OpenIB?

There is no code to support any of the infiniband stuff in anaconda right now. And a fair bit of work is probably required from what I understand about IB Jeremy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list

Kickstart over OpenIB?
by Brian Long 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hello, I understand the OpenIB drivers will be integrated in RHEL 4 U3. Has any work been done to allow Anaconda to install over Infiniband-based network devices? I don't know if this will work out-of-the-box or if special cases will need to be added to Anaconda to get it working when a host's only Ethernet device is "ib0" (virtualized Ethernet through an Infiniband - Ethernet gateway).
