Description Bill Stephens 2001-06-26 18:15:17 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
After upgrading the kernel to the errata 2.2.19 on my NFS RedHat image 
server, my anaconda boot/install disk no longer works.  After tracing, it 
appears that the updated kernel is using NFS v3, and the diskette wants to 
use nfs v2.  I've tried re-compiling the kernel for the diskette to add v3 
support, but everytime I boot, I get "unable to mount root drive".  Is 
there a configuration file available for the diskette kernel (preferrably 
2.2.19)?

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Upgrade kernel on install source machine to errata version 2.2.19
2.Try to do a kickstart from an nfs mounted mount point from step 1 server.
3.Partition can not be mounted.  

	

Actual Results:  Unable to mount nfs partition

Expected Results:  partition should mount, and install should continue 
from the mounted partition.

Additional info:

Other systems running nfs v3 (kernel 2.2.19) can mount the partition 
without any problems.

Please try the updated bootnet.img which works with NFSv3 available at
ftp://people.redhat.com/msf/70nfs2/.

Thanks!!!!! That worked like a champ.  Any chance of getting a source RPM for
the new anaconda?  I've had to make changes to the pump client to get it to work
with some of our routers, and noticed the new diskette has a new loader (which
might require me to update the pump client again).

Thanks,

Bill

Check out Red Hat Linux 7.1
Comment 4 Bill Stephens 2001-07-05 11:36:46 UTC 
Can I use the 7.1 bootdisk to install 7.0?  We're not ready to move to 7.1 
yet.  We want to let the 2.4 kernel mature more, and we're waiting on a stable 
Journaling File System before our next upgrade.  7.0 has been pretty stable for 
us.

Thanks,

Bill

please file a bug against pump.  I'm attaching the patch for isys/Makefile.
