Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use 4x ia64 LION
2. attempt to do Everything install with redhat public beta 2 roswell
install 8/19/01
3.
	

Actual Results:  see description

Expected Results:  hopefully rpmdb would be able to be opened

Additional info:

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2001-09-13 21:38:05 UTC
Can you run 'rpm --rebuilddb' and then try the upgrade?

Comment 2 Mike Sklar 2001-09-14 16:55:52 UTC
This is a fresh cdrom install that is bailing having problems opening the RPM
database on the stock 7.2 Roswell - beta2 8/19/01 ISO.


Comment 3 Brent Fox 2001-09-14 17:32:38 UTC
When the install crashes, can you press <Ctrl><Alt><F4> and see if there are any
cdrom related error messages?

Comment 4 Mike Sklar 2001-09-14 19:53:46 UTC
I tried putting the same CD image in another bigsur itanium and it installed
completely without error. I'll try using a different LION, then go back to the
machine which was exhibiting the problems. ttyl

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2001-09-14 21:26:42 UTC
Also, you might try and see if it just happens with more than 16 gigs of RAM

Comment 6 Mike Sklar 2001-09-18 17:29:12 UTC
I was able to build the 4x LION with a argument of 'mem=4G' passed to the linux
kernel just after issueing elilo from the EFI shell. The install completed
successfully.

Comment 7 Brent Fox 2001-09-20 18:22:57 UTC
katzj, does this look like a kernel problem?

Comment 8 Mike Sklar 2001-09-25 18:25:13 UTC
Possibly a problem with the boot kernel. I don't have any issues booting the
2.4.7-2smp kernel once the system is installed. It does properly detect all 20GB
of memory.

Comment 9 Bill Nottingham 2001-09-26 15:34:18 UTC
Um, the boot kernel *is* the SMP kernel.

Comment 10 Mike Sklar 2001-09-26 15:46:39 UTC
Yes, I've just verified that the smp kernel used to build the system as anaconda
runs, and the smp kernel used to boot the system after install are identical.

I cannot explain the behavior of why large memory systems (possibly >4GB) might
be a higher threshold, cannot install properly. Hopefully some other reports
will come in, or you can see this for yourselves on your own LIONs.

Comment 11 Brent Fox 2001-10-23 04:00:28 UTC
notting, do we have any Lions with more than 4 GB of RAM?

Comment 12 Brent Fox 2001-11-02 15:08:09 UTC
notting, do we have any Lions with more than 4 GB of RAM?



Comment 13 Bill Nottingham 2001-11-02 15:30:54 UTC
Yup, we have a few. I installed on a 32GB last week, FWIW.

Comment 14 Jeremy Katz 2003-02-26 17:55:17 UTC
I remember fixing one way this could happen at some point but don't remember the
details anymore.  Also, we've moved to rpm 4.2 in our current codebase which
changes some things significantly as well.
