ok, so i copied the 4th cd's rpms over as well and tried again (entailing appending "xorg-x11" & "xterm" to the patch created fedora-3-i386.rpmlist (even tho the patch includes them - seem to be the last 2 forgotten entries) removing /var/cache/update-rpms, *not* rebuilding the lam rpms for fedora3, & rerunning install_cluster), & it works ;)))
so it completes successfully but has these errors but i don't know if they're fatal? 29: 2005-2-11 10:25:1 [SystemInstaller::Package::UpdateRpms :: Line 229] Performing RPM stage 2 install, command is: 30: 2005-2-11 10:25:1 [SystemInstaller::Package::UpdateRpms :: Line 230] cd /tftpboot/rpm;rpm -ir /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage -v --p warning: pciutils-2.1.99.test8-3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 ERROR: Tag "mpi" does not exist awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) ls: readlink:: No such file or directory ls: file: No such file or directory ls: expected: No such file or directory awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) 31: Preparing packages for installation... 32: zlib-1.2.1.2-1 ... 254: quota-3.12-5 awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) ls: readlink:: No such file or directory ls: file: No such file or directory ls: expected: No such file or directory awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) 255: iptables-1.2.11-3.1 ... 274: 2005-2-11 10:28:32 [SystemInstaller::Package :: Line 234] Performing post-install with module SystemInstaller::Package::UpdateRpms /usr/sbin/pwconv: can't update shadow file /usr/sbin/grpconv: can't update shadow group file 275: 2005-2-11 10:28:33 [main :: Line 174] Unmounting /proc. /etc/fstab on the head node exists & is readable *blink* i added 1 line to /opt/oscar/oscarsamples/sample.disk.ide which the images are to use but the log says: Added Disk Table for oscarimage based on /opt/oscar/oscarsamples/sample.disk.ide so it doesn't sound like that. anyway i tried to network boot the nodes (after defining them) and they come up with this @ the start of booting: CLIENT MAC blabla CLIENT IP blabla MASK blabla DHCP IP blabla GAETWAY IP blabla PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout TFTP..... and eventually times out ;( is this an image or a NIC problem? the cards are brand new Intel PRO/1000 MT adapters On Fri 2005-03-11 (09:26), gareth wrote: > *shuffle* nope ;) only copied the 1st 3 caus that's what fedora needed > for my custom package install. wasn't thinking .. > > On Thu 2005-03-10 (10:10), Bernard Li wrote: > > Gareth, > > > > You did copy all RPMs from all *4* CDs of FC3 to /tftpboot/rpm, right? > > > > Cheers, > > > > Bernard > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > > > Lombard, David N > > > Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 8:08 > > > To: gareth > > > Cc: [email protected] > > > Subject: RE: [Oscar-devel] RE: [Oscar-users] Re: fedora 3 install > > > > > > In typescript.2, line 2215, note the following: > > > > > > <== NG Glide3 Providing RPM not found > > > <== NG arpwatch Providing RPM not found > > > <== NG finger-server Providing RPM not found > > > <== NG libaio-devel Providing RPM not found > > > <== NG perl-Bit-Vector Providing RPM not found > > > <== NG perl-Date-Calc Providing RPM not found > > > <== NG postfix-pflogsumm Providing RPM > > > not found > > > <== NG tftp Providing RPM not found > > > > > > These error reports indicate files are missing, and if you check the > > > ls(1) of /tftpboot/rpm you also provided in the same > > > typescript file, you will find that yes, all of these files > > > are actually missing. > > > > > > This indcates the > > > /opt/oscar/oscarsamples/fedora-2-i386.rpmlist file is > > > incorrect for FC3, this is not a surprising result.
