Johnny,
Thanks for responding. My bad - I have a typo in my original post. I show
initscripts-7.39.25.EL-1.centos4
..it actually is initscripts-7-93.25.EL-1.centos4
As you point out:
"7.93.25.EL is >= 7.93.14.EL"
and I expected this to be fine too. I guess I misinterpreted the output
from pkgorder:
warning: removing initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4 "Requires:
/sbin/nash" from tsort relations.
warning: initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4 Requires: /sbin/nash
warning: mkinitrd-4.2.1.8-1 PreReq: dev
warning: udev-039-10.15.EL4 PreReq: hotplug
warning: removing hotplug-2004_04_01-7.7 "Requires: initscripts >=
7.93.14.EL" from tsort relations.
warning: hotplug-2004_04_01-7.7 Requires:
initscripts >= 7.93.14.EL
If I grab disc1 from the iso distribution and perform a linux rescue my
failed install, I see
this is the install.log:
Installing initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4.i386.
/usr/sbin/groupadd: error while loading shared libraries: libaudit.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: %pre(initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4.i386) scriptlet failed,
exit status 127
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping
initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4
I have other error messages in the install.log as well. I have had
pleanty of success with
FC3 kickstarts. I made the (apparently incorrect) assumption that the
CentOS kickstart would
be exactly the same. Perhaps you could point me to a document?
Thanks again
Steve Finley
