Re: [Unattended] possible bug in linux bootdisk, master script?
I too am seeing this message from the 4.4b linuxboot cd. After overriding defaults, hitting enter to keep the install source the same, putting in my username and password Trying smbmount \\ntinstall\install /z -o ttl=60,username=installer,ro connection to ntinstaller failed SMB connection failed *** smbmount did not work *** Trying mount.cifs \\ntinstall\install /z -o ttl=60,username=installer,ro mount error: could not find target server. TCP name ntinstall/install not found rc=4 *** Failed to mount /z. Retrying... I tried your suggestion Z_PATH='\\ntinstall\install' smbmount $Z_PATH /z -o ttl=60,username=guest,ro and received the message Connection to ntinstall failed SMB connection failed The Unattended 3.5 dos boot cd works with this same machine using the e100b driver.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I too am seeing this message from the 4.4b linuxboot cd. Your error is slightly different: *** Trying mount.cifs \\ntinstall\install /z -o ttl=60,username=installer,ro mount error: could not find target server. TCP name ntinstall/install not found This means the boot disk was unable to resolve the host name ntinstall. Our DOS boot disk uses NetBIOS name resolution (WINS, broadcast), while our Linux boot disk uses DNS. So it is possible for one to work where the other fails. Maybe I will change this in the next release... But meanwhile, either get DNS working or use the server's IP address instead of its name. - Pat --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

I just tried the linux bootdisk with unattended 4.4b.
it worked until the script wanted to mount the install share. that was the
point when it said:
*** Trying smbmount \\myserver.local\install /z -o
ttl=60,username=geust,ro
*** smbmount did not work
so i was checking the script, it actually does the following command:
smbmount \\myserver.local\install /z -o ttl=60,username=geust,ro
if I type that in - either in linuxboot disk bash or on any other available
linux here, I get the info page from smbmount (wrong parameters)
when I change the double quotes () into single quotes (') however, the
whole thing seems to work - at least when I run the command by hand. I
didn't try to make my own bootdisk yet.
smbmount '\\myserver.local\install' /z -o ttl=60,username=geust,ro
I would suggest that the backslashes are being interpreted by your shell,
which means that by the time smbmount sees them, it looks like this:
smbmount \myserver.localnstall /z -o ttl=60,username=geust,ro
(modulo any shell expansion of \i, which will almost certainly not produce
\i...)
This is supported by the fact that single quotes makes everything OK,
because single-quotes are usually interpreted as leave whatever is in here
right the hell alone, shell -- are you listening to me shell? Dammit,
listen! smack and so on.
Switching backslashes for forwardslashes would work, as would doubling the
slashes, or switching double-quotes for single-quotes.
I could have sworn that the install script did one of these all by itself.
Certainly I haven't come up against the problem.
