If you do this, what's the console type? (eg, if you were to login after booting an installed system like this, what shows up as the tty that you logged into?) ------ Additional Comments From penghb.com 2004-01-06 19:03 ------- It is hvc0 if I login from the virtual console. Because we select vnc installation, we may connect to the system by HMC, Serial port. ----- Additional Comments From zhouwu.com 2004-01-19 00:13 ------- This defect still exist in the new-released RHEL3 Update1. Made quiet in CVS ----- Additional Comments From khoa.com 2004-03-09 10:53 ------- So....this will be fixed in RHEL3 Update2 ? Please confirm. Thanks. Yes, the fix is in the package being built for U2 ----- Additional Comments From bujunhui.com 2004-03-23 07:09 ------- This defect still exist in the new-released RHEL3 Update2 Beta0316. "install exited abnormally -- received signal 11" ----- Additional Comments From kaena.com 2004-04-23 09:15 ------- Will need new install media to test this. But raising to "high" so we have visibility. Might be fixed in U2. ----- Additional Comments From bherren.com(prefers email via benh.com) 2004-05-06 02:41 ------- Can someone check if U2 fixes this so we can close the bug ? ----- Additional Comments From khoa.com 2004-05-10 03:33 ------- Please verify this bug on QU2 and re-open this bug report if necessary. Thanks. ----- Additional Comments From bujunhui.com 2004-06-10 23:42 -------
not fixed in U2.

----- Additional Comments From khoa.com 2004-07-19 22:52 ------- This is targeted for RHEL3 QU4 (according to Mark Wisner). Thanks. ----- Additional Comments From bujunhui.com 2004-07-28 23:10 ------- I verified this on REHL3 U3 0722 test isos. if I tyepd " boot /pci@400000000110/pci@2/ethernet@1 vnc vncpassword=password method=nfs:172.30.1.140:/distros/rhel3 " at ok-prompt, I can do install via vnc successfully. but still failed if typing boot /pci@400000000110/pci@2/ethernet@1 vnc vncpassword=password method=nfs". Redhat said that "method=nfs" is not a supported syntax in bug10075. So I think we can close 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. |
The following has be reported by IBM LTC: Warning message during vnc install by hvc0 or serial port Hardware Environment: pSeries p630 Software Environment: RHEL3 QU1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. In HMC, make the system boot to Open Firmware Prompt 2. In virtual console, type "boot /pci.../ethernet@1 vnc vncpassword=password method=nfs" 3. Continue the installation process until it goes to start vnc server Actual Results: Some warning message is displayed. Starting VNC... The VNC server now running. Please connect to plinuxt19.ppc.cn.ibm.com:1 to begin the install... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/loadkeys", line 26, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/loadkeys", line 22, in main isys.loadKeymap(sys.argv[1]) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 229, in loadKeymap return _isys.loadKeymap (keymap) SystemError: (-22, 'Unknown error 4294967274') XKB extension not present on :1 Expected Results: No warning message if we install the system in virtual console or by serial port Additional Information: Current QU1 build (RHEL3-U1-Beta-RC-re1211.0-ppc-as-disc1-ftp.iso) has no libstdc++.so.5 in stage2.img. So we make a new img file so that we can test vnc install.The problem is caused when it call loadKeymap(gzFile stream) (anaconda- 9.1.1/isys/lang.c). It failed at ioctl(console, KDSKBENT, &entry). If we boot locally with keyboard, the installer will ask us to set the keyboard type. But if we boot from hvc0 or serial port, then the installer will not let us to select it. But the gui.py will call id.keyboard.activate() to activate the keymap. Glen - please submit this to Red Hat. Thanks.
