Forgot to add : IBM PCI token-ring card on the target machine. The Olympic driver inserted the machine into the ring with no errors. Make sure the permissions on the files in RedHat/instimage are correct; (executables are executable, etc.) Anytime that you get the "permission denied" message, it generally means that you need to check the permissions as notting suggested. I am closing this bug. Please reopen if checking the permissions does not solve the problem. |
Installation was attempted via NFS. The Redhat distribution was downloaded to the NFS server (AIX 4.3.2) on 10/25/99. The target machine is a Pentium II 400MHz IBM PC300GL with 6GB storage on /dev/hdc. /dev/hda runs NT4.0. No /dev/hdb. Cdrom on /dev/hdd. 192 MB of RAM. The NFS export was done at /archives/unix/redhat/i386. The hostname of the NFS server is bookshelf.austin.ibm.com . After the hostname, and the NFS export was specified on the install screen, the following errors messages were observed on the console : /tmp/raid0.o : a module named raid0 already exists exec : Permission denied install exited abnormally sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done unmounting filesystems... /mnt/source /mnt/pts /proc you may safely reboot your system now On the alternate console (ALT+F3), the following was observed : * mounting nfs path bookshelf.austin.ibm.com:/archives/unix/redhat/i386 * exec of /bin/sh failed : Permission denied * Probing buses * finished bus probing * found nothing * going to insmod raid0.o (path is NULL) * Probing buses * finished bus probing * found nothing * going to insmod raid0.o (path is NULL) (above message repeated 4 more times) Install was successfully completed later on via http from the same machine.
