Could you please provide details on _how_ it fails? Also, please note that modifications of install trees in this fashion can't really be supported (as there's no way for me to know exactly what changes you've made and the installer does have some subtle things there). The kernel rpm doesn't install. The result of a headerlist with only an ia32e kernel on an x86_64 platform is a system with no kernel. It looks like in hdrlist.py it is rejected based on the checks of base arch and canonarch around line 366. It is my impression that this kernel should be supported on x86_64, as it does intall and run. But inclusion in the header list wont get it to install via kickstart, we have to use %post to do it. Oh, right. I put checks in as ia32e optimized packages *could* possibly not run on x86_64. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done in the RHEL3 context other than installing the package in %post if you have to use the ia32e kernel on AMD64 boxes. |
