[CentOS] Problems with kickstart installation into a Virtualbox
Hi listers i tried to kickstart-install CentOS 6.0 64 in a Virtualbox (Virtualbox Version 4.12). I used a local CDROM with the net-install ISO on it to boot from. The ISO distribution file was provided on a server in the LAN as was the kickstart file. When starting the installation i aded the following to the kernel line of the grub menu: ks=http://install.mydomain.com/ks/centos.6.64.cfg After i had corrected some errors in the kickstart file, the installation started as expected. But it did not terminate as expected: after installing 198 of 671 packages, the installation halted with an error (i.e. after installing the package libutempter). In order to see what the problem was, i restarted from the CDROM in recovery mode, and after going into the half-way installed system, i saw in the anaconda log that about three quarters of the post-installation scripts of the packages had returned a warning. The warning code was 255. But the post-installation script of the package libutempter had returned an error with code 255, whereupon the installation stopped. I thought, OK, we will work around the libutempter package by selecting other program-groups in the kickstart-file. But i had no luck: the installation stopped then after the package MAKEDEV. Then i left off kickstart-installation and did a standard installation booting from the CDROM and getting the default packages from the server in the LAN. This worked fine. - When it came to test the installed packages i was always lucky except with the package fuse (fuse-2.8.3-1.el6.x86_64) which contains the binary /usr/bin/fusermount. This binary was installed without execute permission for everybody, so it could be invoked only by the userid root and members of the group fuse, which is not, what i had expected. suomi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Problems with kickstart installation into a Virtualbox
From: anax a...@ayni.com binary /usr/bin/fusermount. This binary was installed without execute permission for everybody, so it could be invoked only by the userid root and members of the group fuse, which is not, what i had expected. Same permissions as with CentOS 5... # ll /bin/fusermount -rwsr-x--- 1 root fuse 23692 sep 3 2009 /bin/fusermount # ll /bin/fusermount -rwsr-x--- 1 root fuse 28648 Nov 11 2010 /bin/fusermount I would suspect that allowing anybody to use this suid command by default would maybe not be a good idea... Just add yourself to the fuse group. JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
