Component: MandrakeUpdateRobot
Summary: running live_update from the install CD fails
Version: 1.2-2mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I tried to run live_update from the first Mandrake 9.0 CD, using the command
/mnt/cdrom/live_update.
The first error was that it couldn't find a proper shell interpreter to run it.
I am trying to upgrade from Mandrake 8.2.
So I then ran it using `perl /mnt/cdrom/live_update` this then brought up a
window and asked whether I wanted to continue. I accepted it then crashed
saying it couldn't write to a file on the CD.
I can recreate the bug easiliy, if you need more information then please let me
know.
Regards,
Phil.

I can confirm and provide more information:
Sony Vaio VX88, currently running MDK 9.0 with 2.4.20-2mdk kernel for
ACPI support.
combo CDRW/DVD drive is at /mnt/disk.
as root, cd /mnt/disk &
./live_update produces:
gmessage
Mandrake Linux live upgrade
Unable to find Mandrake Linux Installation Cd-Rom in the first
drive.
Abort
The script looks like it would work if I moved my mount point to
/mnt/cdrom, but since this device isn't a cdrom and there was clearly an
effort to support other options via distrib=`pwd`, I think I should
report the problem.
Reboot with CD in of course fails because the installer can't mount the
firewire CDRW/DVD. Kernel messages show that it recognizes okay and
tries to do the right thing, but doesn't have an sbp2 module to install.
This is fixable via burning a new El Torito disk with the network.img as
documented here (http://www.monkeynoodle.org/comp/vaio), but I really
don't feel like dealing right now.
Okay, so I symlinked /mnt/disk to /mnt/cdrom and ran live_update again,
still no soap. So I manually
cd Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/
./live_install2 (not live_install as the live_update script says).
and the result is:
[root@chupacabra perl-install]# ./live_install2
