Hi, I posted to the forums early morning but I am not sure how active the forums are.
We have been using kickstart for a while and it stopped working yesterday. I have a local repository that I updated nightly via rsync from rsync.scientificlinux.org. Yesterday it stopped working with the following error http://i.imgur.com/YXOBciP.png I switched to another tty and 'cat /tmp/.treeinfo' shows the following http://i.imgur.com/CKeYW0j.png I am using local repository for these kickstarts, using --url in the kickstart file, eg. url --url=http://10.1.2.3/sl/6.1/i386/os At first I didn't know where the problem was but then we tried sniffing the traffic on this VM. And here you can see that it tries to download a file from ftp.scientificlinux.org, which doesn't exist 10.1.2.100 - - [12/Apr/2013:09:01:58 -0700] "GET http://10.1.2.3/kickstart/sl-6.1/ks.cfg HTTP/1.1" - - "-" "anaconda/13.21.117" 10.1.2.100 - - [12/Apr/2013:09:01:58 -0700] "GET http://10.1.2.3/sl/6.1/i386/os/images/updates.img HTTP/1.1" - - "-" "anaconda/13.21.117" 10.1.2.100 - - [12/Apr/2013:09:01:58 -0700] "GET http://10.1.2.3/sl/6.1/i386/os/images/product.img HTTP/1.1" - - "-" "anaconda/13.21.117" 10.1.2.100 - - [12/Apr/2013:09:01:58 -0700] "GET http://10.1.2.3/sl/6.1/i386/os/images/install.img HTTP/1.1" - - "-" "anaconda/13.21.117" 10.1.2.100 - - [12/Apr/2013:09:02:36 -0700] "GET http://10.1.2.3/sl/6.1/i386/os/.treeinfo HTTP/1.1" - - "-" "urlgrabber/3.9.1" 10.1.2.100 - - [12/Apr/2013:09:02:36 -0700] "GET http://10.1.2.3/sl/6.1/i386/os/.treeinfo HTTP/1.1" - - "-" "urlgrabber/3.9.1" 10.1.2.100 - - [12/Apr/2013:09:02:36 -0700] "GET http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.1/i386/updates/security//.treeinfoHTTP/1.1"; - - "-" "urlgrabber/3.9.1". Trying to browse to that file http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.1/i386/updates/security//.treeinfo I get the exact same error as 'cat /tmp/.treeinfo'. That raises another question, why is it trying to download a file from ftp.scientificlinux.org when I explicitly specify a different url in the kickstart file? It downloads all the files from the url specified in the kickstart file except the .treeinfo file.
