similar to: trying to run sshd daemon in kickstart environment

Hi, Thanks a lot for so many helpful responses. The fix is pretty straight: just mount /dev/pts again at the chrooted %post environment where my original sshd fires up from. One command 'Mount -t devpts -o rw,gid=5,mode=620 devpts /dev/pts' or just a bare 'mount /dev/pts' command fix the problem since the devpts entry is in fstab already. I also hacked image stage2.img to

Steden and all, Sure, I'll find some time to document my steps in near future.

Hi, Any one know how the Centos 5 kickstart initrd.img was built? I'll be very appreciated if any light can be shed on this topic. The basic problem to be solved here is: how to build a custom vmlinuz+initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart with my own custom built kernel? I am not sure mkinitrd is the right tool for this purpose? If do, which are the modules I should include with

Hi, Has any one tried to merge a custom kernel into vmlinuz/initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart? Or similar Linux distribution? I am rebuilding a custom kernel from stock kernel source to build some hardware modules into static form, so that the hardware detection sequence can be altered in a hard way. Quick examples are: tg3 drivers will be loaded before e1000, 3w-9xxx be loaded before

Hi, Just got Fedora FC1 vanilla 2.4.25kernel+libata8patch booting problems, FC1 complains that it can not automatically find&found partitions specified with "LABEL=" in /etc/fstab, and then falls me into repair mode. In the repair mode I can mount it manually without any problems. More interesting are: 1) I have several partitions specified with "LABEL=*" in

Hi, Theodore, Thanks for your tests. But I got the problem and got it FIXED by flushing out the contents of /etc/blkid.tab before cloned clients reboot. I'm using the e2fsprogs-1.34-1 comes with Fedora Core 1. hello06.alexa.com root 135% rpm -qf /sbin/fsck e2fsprogs-1.34-1 hello06.alexa.com root 136% and the original contents in /etc/blkid.tab are attaching below, while my

Hi, all, I "found" a big bug either related with Linux Ext3 file system or "bin/ls" command. The problem is: File system is no more than 220GB, but "/bin/ls" reports holding >370GB data! The system is Redhat 8.0, with a Generic Kernel 2.4.20. Any suggestions are greately appreciated. more information can be available upon requests. The following is the

Hi, I have an ext3 file system question for a while: How to obtain failed file (inode) from LBA section reported by Linux kernel? The following lines are a simple example: ... FCbox1: Nov 1 04:08:59 FCbox1 kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } FCbox1: Nov 1 04:08:59 FCbox1 kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=165843413, high=9,

Hi, all, I got machines running continuously for long time, but then the underlying ext3 file systems becomes quite heavily fragmented (94% non-contiguous). We just don't have a chance to shutdown the machines since they are always busy.. I tried the defrag 0.70 version comes with e2fsprog package and standalone 0.73 packages, but neither help me since the defrag tool can not handle ext3.

Kickstart fails for statically built custom booting kernel, although the custom kernel is built form the same version stock kernel source. My anaconda and kernel source are both of stock versions on Centos 5. At the kickstart 'F3' screen, the following error messages appear: Modules to insert tg3 ... ... ERROR: no network devices in choose network device! ERROR: no network drivers

Hi, Stephen and Jeff, Thanks. But the problem got debugged&fixed, the answer was post on fedora-list about 2 weeks ago. The problem is: the /etc/blkid.tab file works as an old unappropriate disk partitions cache for fsck|blkid commands when stystem image is installed to a different arch (scsi->ide) machine, the old cache will mislead fsck|blkid at the first run and only the first run,

Hi, Marc, Thanks for your help! a "ls -alFs" command shows the difference, Theodore Ts'o talked about it at https://listman.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2003-January/msg00008.html. Both File system and "/bin/ls" contains no bugs, my knowledge databse in my mind got lots of ""Bugs" instead. :) vista104 /0 > ls -alF total 211233264 drwxrwxr-t 5

Hi, Anyone know if there is a Promise SATA patch for general linux 2.4.2* kernel downloaded from www.kernel.org? It should exist somewhere.. Thanks. --Guolin Cheng

Hi, Any one have succeeded in firing up a sshd daemon when a machine is being kickstarted? I know VNC can be setup to minitor the kickstart process, but it is too limited and so I can not see the console and other screens with ALT+Fn keys. If sshd daemon can be setup at this stage, then we can remotely ssh into the being kickstarted client(s). and directly see what things happen during %pre,

I have been looking for environment variables for the %post section of kickstart. Namely if I start my kickstart command with "linux ks=http://serverip/ks.cfg" is there an environment variable that has serverip that I can use in the %post section? Also is there a way to pass a command line argument to the %post section when running kickstart command as the above

Hi all, I am trying to find information on taking a DVD of centos 5.2 x86_64 and putting it AND my kickstart file on a USB8G thumbdrive. Note - I am not INSTALLING linux on the USB disk just trying to make installation media for it. I am not taking just the bootdisk.img file to make the USB bootable but the entire DVD content on the USB and my kickstart files. I'd like to just be able to

Currently, I kickstart my machines over http to install CentOS 4.4 and then in a script called from %post do a "yum -y update" to install all the latest updates. Is there a way to set up the kickstart server so that I can do this all in one step? In other words, is there a "supported" way to roll in all the updates into the kickstart server? In case it matters, I

Is there a way to use kickstart to boot a machine into a manual setup process? Basically what I'm getting to is this, the machine doesn't not have a CD drive in it (nor can I add one), but I can boot it via kickstart. The install media is on the network. What I'd like to do is boot this machine up and rather than have kickstart do everything for me as far as installing the OS and
