What install method are you using (NFS, HTTP, FTP)? If you're using NFS and the ISOs they should _not_ be loopback mounted (the installer will take care of that itself). If you're using FTP/HTTP, the ISOs need to be loopback mounted as disc1 - discN.
And by "rhsetup" you mean the standard installer, anaconda, right? Not the s390-specific installer that nobody uses anymore? iirc rhsetup didn't support loopback-mounted ISOs via FTP/HTTP. ks On 8/31/06, Fuhrmann Anna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all, me being a newbie ... I have already isntalled once RHEL4 in a z/linux partition once, but the rhsetup-portion happened with substantial help and I don't quite remember all things done. And now I want to install a second time in a second partition, for a test system. My problem: when invoking rhsetup at some point there comes the question about the install path. There are 4 iso images, mounted in one common directory. So I answered the question accordingly. Then I got a message telling me that package XYZ cannot be found there. I tried again, providing the path to the directory with the four images unmounted - somehow nonsensical, but I tried anyway, with no positive result. Then I tried again the directory where the images have been mounted. Tried this and that - with no positive result. There is no way either to interrupt rhsetup or go back to the beginning, so all I could do was to close the window ;-) - and no way to invoke rhsetup a second time, resulting in a completely new boot procedure (a slightly disgusting affair including HMC console and all that). Can anyone help and tell why I was wrong? What should I do? all I could recognise was that the package XYZ rhsetup "could not find" is, I think, on the second iso image. But rhsetup did not require a specific iso image, it requires a path. To what? to all four images? or just to one at a time? which one? I don't know how to continue.
