Hi,
actually I wanna upgrade our desktop pools to Nevada b95 using
jumpstart (they are still on snv b55b :( ). Unfortunately, b95 jumpstart is
driving me nuts:
a) the DHCP client is unable to get its hostname.
So it always fires up the sysidns cfg dialog. Here we enter Esc2, Esc 2,
Check No, Esc 2 an everything starts almost as expected (right now we use
SI_HOSTNAME=`perl -e 'use Socket; $name = \
gethostbyaddr(inet_aton($ENV{SI_HOSTADDRESS}), AF_INET); \
$name =~ s/\..*// ; print "$name"'`
etc. in the begin script to fix it. Since x86 need to be manually
netbooted, one can live with it - but's annoying ...
Since it is the same on u5, we opened a call - perhaps it leads to
something ...
b) Installation of add. packages via nfs doesn't work with b95 (no
problem for S10u5).
E.g. profile:
package LNFsed add nfs://192.168.224.1/export/lnf/i386
Jumpstart reports, that it is installing add. packages, but after
reboot, no nfs:/... package is installed on the system. Because
install_log says nothing about an error, I tried to install it
manually by forking a shell at the end of the finish script.
The result is always a coredump:
core '/tmp/root/core' of 4725: /usr/sadm/install/bin/pkginstall -R
/a -O parent-zone-name=global -O p
ac62327e strcmp (1f00, 8045bd0) + de
08066787 already_mounted (80457b4, 0, 8045bd0, 809d770) + 43
0806743b get_mntinfo (1, 0) + 26f
0805f5d8 main (b, 80476b8, 80476e8) + 77c
0805862e _start (b, 8047868, 8047889, 804788c, 804788f, 8047892) + 7a
Since this works with u5 I thought, it might be a good idea to
replace SUNWpkgcmdsu in the b95 miniroot with the same package
from u5, but the problem still exists (BTW: the pstack above is from
the u5 iso package).
So, has anybody an idea, how to workaround the bug?
In case more info is needed, all traces incl. core are available via
http://iws.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~elkner/jumpstart/
Regards,
jel.
PS: Sorry for posting on opensolaris, but since SXDE doesn't exist
anymore, I can't open a case and don't know, where nv related
problems can be reported/discussed - AFAIK there is no nevada
dedicated list/"bugzilla" :(((((
