Re: fedora-triage-list Digest, Vol 7, Issue 1

Just to reply to my own post, since I fixed the problem. The problem was that NFS was exporting the image read only and root_squash, so I had to change that. However, the stage2.img is still not mountable, and that is probably due to some new format that is being used.

Is stage2.img corrupt on Fedora Core 5 (can't mount loopback)
by Iordan Kolev Iordanov 23 Oct '06

Hi, I was trying to install FC5 using kickstart over the network, and I noticed that the install hangs when it tries to loopback mount stage2.img. I tried to mount it myself manually, and locally on the nfs server (which serves the distro), and I get the following: FAT: bogus logical sector size 40452 VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 07:03. I also tried mounting stage2.img from the first disk of a separate download of FC5, and from the DVD of a yet another download of FC5, all to the same result. Just for kicks, I mounted stage2.img from FC1, and FC2 with no problem on two separate computers which failed to mount FC5's stage2.img. The command used was the usual: mount -o loop /path/to/stage2.img /path/to/mount/point Has the format of stage2.img changed somehow, while the network installer has not been modified to accommodate the change? Or is the file simply corrupt to begin with. If the file is corrupt, wouldn't that prevent any kind of install of FC5, even using CD's? Please help me, as this problem is obviously preventing me from doing network installs of FC5! Sincerely, Iordan Iordanov The conscious mind has only one thread of execution.
