About /tmp/cdrom
by Olivier BONHOMME 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

Hello again, I would want to execute some scripts located on my install CDROM. I read some documentations which says that the block device for the cdrom is /tmp/cdrom and that I must use it. But when I list the /tmp directory I have no cdrom device. Can someone help me in order to create the block device for my cdrom drive ? Thank you for your answers Best Regards, Olivier BONHOMME

gre and tunl0 interfaces automatically detected
by Olivier BONHOMME 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hello, I have a little problem with a custom anaconda installer and I can't find solution in order to resolve it. I made a custom anaconda installer in order to make an automatic installation for a FC 6 distribution. While the network configuration, anaconda detects automatically a gre0 and a tunl0 interface. I declared nowhere such interfaces and I don't understand why anaconda detects them. Do somebody know how is done the interfaces detection and how can i disable these gre0 and tunl0 interfaces. Thank you for your answers Best Regards, Olivier BONHOMME

PATCH don't create RPMS/ dir when splitting the tree
by Jesse Keating 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

This patch does what the subjet says, and removes other things that would look for a RPMS dir. I tested this with pungi, seems to work as expected. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora

PATCH don't bother checking for an RPMS dir in buildinstall
by Jesse Keating 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Since we're killing off the RPMS/ dir, the if block to find the PKGDIR is not necessary anymore, we know it is in $PRODUCTPATH/. This patch just sets it that way. Trial. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora

PATCH don't call createrepo in buildinstall, let compose do it
by Jesse Keating 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

This patch removes the call to createrepo from within buildinstall. Instead it allows the compose tool to create the repo before calling buildinstall. There is a check added to make sure that repodata exists before continuing on. The desired side effect of this is that it allows the compose tool to reference the comps.xml file as it needs, and buildinstall no longer needs a comps.xml in $PRODUCTPATH/base/. This should be the last step to killing off the base/ directory. I've tested with pungi (pungi making repodata before calling buildinstall) and things seem to work. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora

by Elliot Peele 07 Mar '07

Add an instance variable to the anaconda object of displayMode so that callbacks implemented in the backend can tell what the current displayMode is. Elliot -- Elliot Peele rPath, Inc. elliot(a)rpath.com 919.851.3984 2117

PATCH: log a warning if a installclass fails to import
by Elliot Peele 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Log a warning when trying to load installclasses if the module can't be loaded. In debug mode raise any errors that are found. This should maybe just raise anything other than import errors. Elliot -- Elliot Peele rPath, Inc. elliot(a)rpath.com 919.851.3984 2117

Linux Installation Methods
by Prasanna Mumbai 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi, I am exploring iSCSI Install to target LUN with RHEL5 and came across the following issues: 1. When i try installing using "linux text" method i will be prompted to dialog where it say "Add iSCSI target" after after it says "Must have network configuration set up for iSCSI config. Please boot with 'linux asknetwork' 2. when i try with "Linux asknetwork" method i don't get the "Add iSCSI target" dialog. 3. I tried out "Linux asknetwork text" (both the methods) but it isn't taking the text mode and going to Graphical mode only. if i try the other way "linux text asknetwork" then its giving the same "Must have network configuration set up for iSCSI config. Please boot with 'linux asknetwork' " Is it not possible to have asknetwork and Text modes at the same ? ~Cheers Prasanna
