Category: Installation Group: 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 8 Submitted By: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) Assigned to: Michael Chase-Salerno (mchasal) Summary: mksiimage hangs while making client image Initial Comment: This is on a vanilla RH 8.0 system in vmware. Step XXX hangs when attempting to make the client image. The huge long list of RPM's is output, but then it just sits there -- no RPMs are installed. No obvious errors have occurred. Here's a snipit of the output: ----- 18: 2003-6-18 7:32:57 [SystemInstaller::Package::Rpm :: Line 223] Performing RPM stage 1 install, command is: 19: 2003-6-18 7:32:57 [SystemInstaller::Package::Rpm :: Line 224] cd /tftpboot/rpm;rpm -ir /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage -v --percent filesystem-2.1.6-5.noarch.rpm setup-2.5.20-1.noarch.rpm basesystem-8.0-1.noarch.rpm glibc-common-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm glibc-2.2.93-5.i686.rpm libtermcap-2.0.8-31.i386.rpm termcap-11.0.1-13.noarch.rpm warning: filesystem-2.1.6-5.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e 20: Preparing packages for installation... 21: setup-2.5.20-1 22: filesystem-2.1.6-5 23: basesystem-8.0-1 warning: pciutils-2.1.10-2.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e 24: termcap-11.0.1-13 25: glibc-common-2.2.93-5 26: glibc-2.2.93-5 27: libtermcap-2.0.8-31 28: 2003-6-18 7:33:31 [SystemInstaller::Package::Rpm :: Line 223] Performing RPM stage 2 install, command is: 29: 2003-6-18 7:33:31 [SystemInstaller::Package::Rpm :: Line 224] cd /tftpboot/rpm;rpm -ir /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage -v --percent pciutils-2.1.10-2.i386.rpm raidtools-1.00.2-3.3.i386.rpm libtiff-3.5.7-7.i386.rpm iproute-2.4.7 ......lots more RPMs............ ----- and then it just sits there (full oscarinstall.log is attached; note that it's the second run of install_cluster because of the eth0/missing interface name in ODA problem). Doing a "ps -auxww", I can see that mksiimage has been run with the following arguments: ----- /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/mksiimage -A --name oscarimage --location /tftpboot/rpm --filename /root/oscar/oscarsamples/redhat-8.0-i386.rpmlist --arch i686 --path /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage --verbose --filename=/tmp/oscar-install-rpmlist.4946 ----- I can also see an "rpm" command, but it doesn't list any of its arguments in ps: ----- [snipped] root 5602 0.7 9.3 15996 11776 pts/0 S 07:33 0:10 rpm root 5632 0.0 0.5 2608 692 pts/1 R 07:58 0:00 ps auxwwwww ----- Indeed, double checking /proc/5602/cmdline, it only shows "rpm" as well. Wild guess/speculation: could we have an RPM list that is now so long that it has overflowed some buffer? And perhaps the rpm command is waiting for some kind of input? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) Date: 2003-07-19 10:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11722 Actually -- I lied. It just happened to be again in RH 8.0 under VMware 4. So I guess this is still an active issue. :-( [shrug] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) Date: 2003-07-18 13:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=11722 I upgraded to VMware 4 and this problem went away. So I don't know if this is a real SIS problem or a VMware problem. [shrug] Sean says he heard something about this on IRC the other day, so I'll downgrade the severity and leave this for the SIS folks to either close or fix... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jason Brechin (brechin) Date: 2003-07-18 11:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274641 I have not seen this problem... I got through an installation just now... it was slow (VMWare), but it ended up working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109368&aid=773585&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
