What directory are you pointing at to do your install (should be RHbeta/ and then the disc1, disc2, disc3 will be checked automagically) I am pointing it to RHbeta/. The second stage install is pulled from the ftp/http site and runs. I go through the entire install configuration screens (ie. partitioning, network setup, root password, package selection). When the installer tries to find the first package to install (glibc-common), it fails saying that it couldn't find the package. Looking at one of the Alt-F consoles during the http install, it fails trying to get .../RHbeta/disc1/disc1/glibc-common... If I unmount the ISO images and remount under disc1, I can click OK and the install finds and installs the packages. Fixed in CVS, update disk is at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/severn-updates.img. If you place this as RedHat/base/updates.img, then it will get used and you should be able to verify the fix. I added the update.img to the RedHat/base directory but it didn't fix the problem. Should I be able to loop back mount the img file? I get the following message when I try: Jul 23 23:16:24 system kernel: EXT2-fs: loop(7,0): couldn't mount because of un supported optional features (20000). I noticed the same message on the system that I am using for the beta. *** Bug 101523 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be fixed). If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked. |
Description of problem: When using loop back mounts of ISO images for http/ftp install, the installer adds an extra element to the directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Loop back mount the ISO images. Ex. RHbeta/disc1 RHbeta/disc2 RHbeta/disc3 Begin the installer by booting from floppy and using the network driver disk as needed. Point the installer to the http/ftp site and use RHbeta as base dir. The installer begins and goes through configuration. Actual results: When the installer prepares to get the packages from the http/ftp site, it adds an extra element to the path. Ex. RHbeta/disc1/disc1 Expected results: The installer should begin looking in the same directory that the 2nd stage installer was found. Ex. RHbeta/disc1 Additional info: This can be worked around by unmounting the ISO images and remounting in the disc1 subdirectory after the installer fails to find the first package. Ex. RHbeta/disc1/disc1 RHbeta/disc1/disc2 RHbeta/disc1/disc3
