Hi all,
We're attempting to use CentOS 5.1 on a test platform which uses a CF
card as it's primary storage. (MB: ETX-LX)
The BIOS supports booting from CD and/or the CF.
Issues we've run into are:
During installation of CentOS 5.1, it appears all goes well through
partitioning, package selection, interface configuration. Once the
install starts in earnest, errors pop up...a snippet is:
================
Traceback (most recent call first):
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 640, in
returnNewestByName
raise PackageSackError, 'No Package Matching %s' % name
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 318, in
returnNewestByName return bestofeach.returnNewestByName(name)
File
"/tmp/treedir.29352/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line
1093, in getBestKernalByArch
pkgs=
ayum.pkgSack.returnNewestByName(pkgname)
File
"/tmp/treedir.29352/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line
1102, in selectBestKernel
kpkg = getBestKernalByArch("kernel", self.ayum)
File
"/tmp/treedir.29352/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1236
in doPostSelection
self.selectBestKernel(anaconda)
File
"/tmp/treedir.29352/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 177 in
doPostSelection
return
anaconda.backend.doPostSelection(anaconda)
==================
It appears that we're not writing to the CF and a driver is needed. We
have the driver, but are uncertain how to pass the information to the
installer. No Floppy is present.
Any thoughts or suggestions or pointers to resources would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
-Ray
