hacking anaconda to run post install
by James_Martin＠ao.uscourts.gov 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

I would like to perform some hackery on anaconda that would let me, post installation, parse out _only_ the partitioning statements and create those partitions that are defined. Any idea how to go about doing this? Has it been done already? James S. Martin, RHCE Contractor Administrative Office of the United States Courts Washington, DC (202) 502-2394

Anaconda - Kadischi install to disk from LiveCD
by Jasper O'neal Hartline 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

Hello. I have a prototype Kadischi here that can be invoked from LiveCD made with Kadischi and also acts as a installer to disk from LiveCD. The problems I am having relate to packages.py, yuminstall.py and grabber.py in the Python package under yum and urlgrabber site-packages. I keep getting exceptions stating "Cannot open header" or "Cannot open package header" for instance on a Fedora Core 5 machine lines 159 and 161 when in fact /tmp/cache/headers/*.hdr exists for the transaction set chosen. I notice in the real installer boot.iso for FC6T2 we actually get headers populating a directory: /tmp/anaconda-base-200608030842.i386 I'm curious if anyone has any idea on how to resolve the issue with not opening package headers, and or where this directory is created. Even symlinking anaconda-base-2006080308432.i386 to /tmp/cache where the headers really are, doesn't work. Like Anaconda deletes the symlink in /tmp or something. Any ideas where I can look to rectify this issue? A Live CD installer using Anaconda would be excellent in my opinion, I almost have it working. J. Hartline

"Unknown partition table signature" on "ghosted" disk
by Toralf Lund 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask questions like this, but I'll give it a try: On a certain host at work, the RH system installer (usually booted from a customised DVD...) will fail to detect the existing Linux partitions. The error message is (I think) "Unknown partition table signature". I've pretty much asked for such problems, I guess, as the system was set up via filesystem copy from a disk of a different size, using a "ghost" utility, but the weird part is that it boots just fine (after certain adjustments), and perhaps even stranger still: I can also access the filesystems in rescue mode. Or actually, the automatic detection won't work in that case, either, but once I've entered the shell, I can do a "mount" of the devices and subsequently read and write files without any problems. Any ideas what this is all about? What is that signature supposed to be, anyway, and how do you set it? - Toralf

Modifying Anaconda install messages
by I-Newell, Geoff 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi, As required by the Red Hat EULA (see below), I am in the process of removing all Red Hat trademarks. One persistent item in Anaconda is proving difficult to remove. I was hoping someone on this list may have an idea. When Anaconda starts the graphical install of the OS, in the left most Window, the following text is displayed: Installing Packages ----------------------------- We have gathered all the information needed to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES on the system. It may take a while to install everything, depending on how many packages need to be installed." My question is: How do I remove the text "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES" from the above text message. I have searched through the Anaconda SRC RPMs and have found the following files: anaconda-help/help/*.po which contain: "We have gathered all the information needed to install &RHL; on the system. " Somewhere &RHL is expanded to the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES". How do I institute this change and then get it into my distribution via "buildinstall"? Many thanks, Geoff P.S. RedHat has asked us to remove all redhat trademarks due to our intended use of the SRC RPMs in our turnkey embedded platform.

FC6 Install Guide Candidate
by Jeremy Katz 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Paul asked that I forward this along for people to take a look at. Any feedback appreciated. Jeremy -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Paul W. Frields <stickster(a)gmail.com> To: Jeremy Katz <katzj(a)redhat.com> Subject: Installation Guide - for forwarding to anaconda-devel-list Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 16:57:34 -0400 The candidate IG for FC6 is available in Fedora Docs CVS. We are supposed to freeze it for translation on the 30th or 31st. Comments from the anaconda cognoscenti are appreciated, although we don't expect to be able to cover every corner case by test3 release. (Anything we can't do by test3, we will certainly try to finish by Final.) To take a look at the IG, do one of the following: 1. WHINE METHOD (1 karma point): Download the HTML tarball here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PaulWFrields/DocDrafts/ Read. File problems as bugs in Bugzilla against product Fedora Documentation, component install-guide. 2. SUPERHERO KICK-ASS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE-WINNING METHOD (10 karma points and a Playboy swizzle stick): Download the source here: $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs \ co install-guide docs-common $ cd install-guide/devel $ make html-en_US # if desired, or just read XML in en_US/ Read. File problems as bugs in Bugzilla against product Fedora Documentation, component install-guide. Attach patch.

Custom comps.xml x86_64 no ix86 packages being installed
by Mark Selby 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

I am trying to install CentOS 4.3 x86_64 on an Operton class server and having the following issue. I have created a custom comps.xml which I have been using very successfully and happily Under CentOS 4.3 i386 for sometime now. This is a very pared down version that is used only for unattended kickstart installs. When I use this comps.xml file on the x86_64 CentOS using kickstart none of the ix86 compatibility packages get installed. When I use the comps.xml that comes with the distribution, the ix86 packages along with the x86_64 packages all get installed. I need the 32 bit libs for some legacy apps so I want to try and figure what in my comps.xml is preventing all the architecture rpms from getting installed. All and any help will be greatly appreciated.

[PATCH] harddrive [--useiso=yes|no] and excludedocs
by Paul B Schroeder 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Adds a "--useiso" argument to the kickstart specified "harddrive" install method. Using "--useiso=no" will have anaconda install from the harddrive without ISOs. i.e. as if the ISO files had been copied to --dir. Setting --useiso to anything other value or if it is undefined, the harddrive install will be backwards compatibable and search for ISOs by default. Also, when specifying "excludedocs" on the kernel command line will do what it should. The original patches were done and tested with anaconda 11.0.5 and pykickstart 0.23.. I've done a quick refactor of the patches against the current CVS, but have not had a chance to test the refactor.. So let me know how it looks.. Patches available here: http://paul.schroeder.name/DEV/anaconda/ Cheers...Paul... -- --- Paul B Schroeder <pschroeder "at" uplogix "dot" com> Senior Software Engineer Uplogix, Inc.

GRUB hangs right after installation
by Alain TAUCH 22 Aug '06

Hi all, I'm working on a custom distro using anaconda and I've noticed that sometimes GRUB is not installed properly and hangs when loading the stage2 image. I've experienced it with CD and NFS installs, and it seems to occur when the installation process waited for some time (few hours, maybe less) at the last screen, before I clicked on 'reboot'. If I re-install GRUB manually, all goes well. No related messages in anaconda's logs. I googled a bit and it seems that some other people ran into this too, but I didn't find any solution to this problem. Any clues ? -- Alain
