How did you set up the files on the FTP server in order to deliver it to the installer? I demonstrated the netstg2.img mismatch error to Tom Callaway a couple of minutes ago -- he said he knew where in the anaconda code the error is This also occurs with a PXE install, using the ISO mount script at: ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/local/ORC/k12ltsp -- install-from-iso.sh to recreate the environment
from an earlier mention ...
Doing a regular PXE boot FTP based install, I am being
presented with the following message:
------------| Error |-------------
The Red Hat Linux installation
tree in that directory does not
seem to match you boot media.
OK
------------------------------------------------------
And yet I can see that the proper size and content file is
being sucessfully served:

The ISO build process which yields this error message is
somewhat opaque to me; I have not dug through this yet
My question: Is there any chance this file "netstg2.img" was
not updated, vis a vis what the PXE ./images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
and initrd.img are telling it to expect?
I suspect at least the initrd is stale, as the initrd was not
touched recently enough:
[root@ftp pxe]# file initrd.img-rhl-8094
initrd.img-rhl-8094: gzip compressed data, deflated, last
modified: Tue Feb 4 13:03:34 2003, max compression, os: Unix
but the kernel was:
[root@ftp pxe]# file vmlinuz-rhl-8094
vmlinuz-rhl-8094: x86 boot sector
[root@ftp pxe]# stat vmlinuz-rhl-8094

====================
Obviously a workaround would be nice as well.

I got hit by this too, in regular FTP install of Red Hat Linux 9; changing to ASSIGNED. I get this problem as well, with the following message in the console: readHeaders(): exception content-length getting content-length File ftp://site/pub/redhat-9/RedHat/base/hdlist not found I get the problem when I try a FTP install from an XP server to VMWare - but I don't when I try it from a vsFTP server on RH8 to VMWare. If you're getting that the second stage doesn't match then your boot media and your second stage are *not* from the same tree. If you loopback mount them, you'll see /.buildstamp (of the initrd and netstg2) have different times. The ones shipped in Red Hat Linux 9 do have the correct, matching stamps. |
