Re: [Vserver] Error when creating centos min vserver
I've been able to create a Debian vserver within CentOS 4.2 with no problems (http://linux-vserver.org/Step-by-Step+Guide+2.6). That guide is very good and I was impressed to see debootstrap working within a Yum-based distro and install packages within a vserver. I've tried a few methods to create a minimum CentOS guest and have had nothing but problems. With reference to the patch listed in the url below is it just a question of patch -p1 options /path/to/util-vserver/scripts/vyum-worker/ ? Also I notice that there are patches listed here; http://linux-vserver.org/FC4+patched+rpm%27s. How does one use them?

Re: [Vserver] Error when creating centos min vserver
Hello I've build a new yum rpm for centos4 incorporating the patch for chroot. (I used www.jpackage.org to help with the rpm building and http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm2/ to understand the patching process) It basically works a lot better now. However I think there are still 2 problems. 1/ It seems to be very fragile when finding files in a repository. Often yum will say it cannot find the file. When yum gets run again, it seems to find the file and then falls over again somewhere later with the same error, but with a different file. 2/There are many packages where yum says eg No Match for argument: indexhtml-4-1.centos4 No Match for argument: redhat-logos-1.1.25-1.centos4.3 No Match for argument: setup-2.5.37-1.1 No Match for argument: tzdata-2004e-2 No Match for argument: glibc-2.3.4-2 Yum can find some files, but not all of them. The corresponding list of files in my 01 file (copied from the centos list on the vserver site) is indexhtml-4-1.centos4 redhat-logos-1.1.25-1.centos4.3 setup-2.5.37-1.1 basesystem-8.0-4 tzdata-2004e-2 glibc-2.3.4-2 So it seems to have found basesystem-8.0-4 ok.

Re: [Vserver] Error when creating centos min vserver
Hi there, on Thursday, November 3, 2005 at 03:33 on the list was posted: No Repositories Available to Set Up That sounds very much as the FC4 yum problem described in FC4 from scratch. If the FC4 yum package is the same as the centos you can use that, otherwise you have to patch your own yum source and rebuild it. = http://linux-vserver.org/FC4+from+scratch Section 2 replace the FC4 yum with a patched version (patch to be found in util-vserver/contrib directory or on the mailing list archive) -- regards, Guenther Fuchs ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

No, that's what the problem lookes like.
