[Server-devel] Got Past Line 23 error
Martin,
I managed to get past the "Line 23 clearpart" error and proceed with a
complete XS install.
I used the following process (loosely based on
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=174916)
** The commands are done in "root" mode, mostly from the "/root"
directory, unless otherwise specified.
** Took the XS-163 CD and converted it back to ISO on the beta server
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/root/old163.iso bs=2k conv=sync,notrunc
** Make a new directory "ISO"
mkdir /root/ISO
mount -t iso9660 -o loop old163.iso ISO
ls ISO
isolinux
squashfs.img
sysroot
** get these tools in case you don't have them
modprobe squashfs
yum install squashfs-tools
** Decompress the data to a folder called "squash-root"
unsquashfs ISO/squashfs.img
ls squashfs-root
===
os.img
sysroot
** Make a new directory called LIVE
mkdir /root/LIVE
mount -o loop,rw squashfs-root/os.img LIVE
** Remove out all statements related to "boot loaders", "clear part" or
"partitions"
cd LIVE/root
gedit anaconda-ks.cfg
rm -rf anaconda-ks.cfg~
cd /root
** Unmount LIVE so that we can re-compress into a new "newsq.img" image
file
umount LIVE
mksquashfs squashfs-root newsq.img
** Make new directory BUILD to hold the new image of the CD
** Please note that the "/" slash after ISO is very important for "rsync"
to work properly
mkdir BUILD
rsync -av --exclude='squashfs.img' ISO/ BUILD
cp newsq.img BUILD/
** You must use the same CD Volume Label. It can be found with this
cat ISO/isolinux/isolinux.cfg | grep CDLABEL
==
( root=CDLABEL=OLPC_XS_163)
==
** This last step must be done from within the BUILD directory, the last
character is a "." period
** That period (".") represents all the files in the "current" (BUILD)
directory.
cd BUILD
mkisofs -R -D -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.catalog -o
/root/new163.iso
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
-allow-leading-dots
-input-charset default -V "OLPC_XS_163" .
** That created the "new163.iso" file. Before we burn to CD, let's make
sure it works first.
** The following will start a virtual server, enough to make sure the ISO
file fixes the problem.
yum install qemu kvm
qemu-kvm -m 1024 -cdrom new163.iso
** Use cdrecord, wodim or other program to burn the "new163.iso" into a CD
boot from this new CD
The CD will be interactive, asking you to either clear out the partition
tables, or create
a customer configuration, or use the partitions that are already on the
disk.
This worked for me.
Thanks

[Server-devel] Error in XS-163 during install
Hi Martin, Having successfully installed both Debian 4.0-r3 Etch and Fedora 7-i386 on the machine, I thought I would try to go back to installing XS from the LiveCD. I tried XS-163 and XS-160-noauto, and both failed with the "clearpart line23" problem. Hardware details are here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Az990tony/edublog-beta-hw I did a fresh install of Fedora 7-i386 and collected all of the details to help figure out this. uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 19330 155163802+ 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 14 19330 155163802+ 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/dm-1: 106 MB, 106896384 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/dm-2: 158.8 GB, 158887733760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19317 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes === (Note: I chose the default setting, having it delete all partitions and build new.

I haven't "with mine own eyes", but that's a long, sad story involving management that doesn't believe in open source at the school I used to work in... I have been connected, mostly lurking, the development of OA for at least 2 years and have come across several actual users, so definitely, it is being used, though not yet a mainline thing. The main developer is very open to working with people of all levels, so that works to my advantage :-). Yes, I totally agree with you that you shouldn't trust or recommend anything unless you have really good evidence, the only one really passing all muster is one's own experience, so I think the question is fair and appropriate. I often complain about the need for more of this approach in the Peripherals side of this biznai... That's why I wasn't volunteering you guys to implement it, but rather just sharing that I would try and look and see. > - How much does it overlap with Moodle? zero idea, since I am still very unfamiliar with Moodle.
