Hi all,
one issue solved, next problem rises its head:
I cannot create kickstart distributions.
What do I do?
At the webinterface: Systems->Kickstart->Distributions->create new
distribution
Previously I have copied the entire install DVDs of CentOS 5.5 x86_64
and Fedora13 x86_64 to a local directory called
/var/satellite/jh/
..../centos5.5-x86_64-iso
and
..../fedora13-x86_64-iso
In the webinterface (https://server/rhn/kickstart/TreeCreate.do) I enter
Distribution Label: test1234
Tree Path: /var/satellite/jh/centos5.5-x86_64-iso
Base Channel: CentOS-5.5 x86_64
[created a base-channel synced to http://centos.bio.lmu.de/5.5/os/x86_64/ ]
Installer Generation: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Kernel Options: [empty]
Post Kernel Options: [empty]
A click on 'Create Kickstart Distribution' gets me a red warning label
located on the page reading:
"The kernel could not be found at the specified location:
/var/satellite/jh/centos5.5-x86_64-iso/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz"
However, the file exists
[jonathan.ho...@host ~]$ ls -alZ
/var/satellite/jh/centos5.5-x86_64-iso/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
-rwxrwxrwx. tomcat root system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0
/var/satellite/jh/centos5.5-x86_64-iso/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
Renaming the vmlinuz file, doesn't change the error message,
renaming the initrd.img file, does:
"The initrd could not be found at the specified location:
/var/satellite/jh/centos5.5-x86_64-iso/images/pxeboot/initrd.img"
The contents of my pxeboot-directory are:
[jonathan.ho...@host pxeboot]$ ls -alZ
drwxrwxrwx. tomcat root system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0 .
drwxrwxrwx. tomcat root system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0 ..
-rwxrwxrwx. tomcat root system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0 initrd.img
-rwxrwxrwx. tomcat root system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0 README
-rwxrwxrwx. tomcat root system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0 TRANS.TBL
-rwxrwxrwx. tomcat root system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0 vmlinuz
with 777-rights only to make sure, I'm not missing anything again.
So: Why does initrd.img register as ok, while vmlinuz doesn't?
And where would I need to place a modified
com.redhat.rhn.domain.kickstart.KickstartableTree class, to test for
some scenarios I have in mind?
The instructions/scripts with ant install-dev don't work, there's so
much stuff missing that the httpd-service won't come up.
Best
-Jonathan
