Description

boot with "rd.debug" on the kernel command line from the dracut shell, mount any partition by hand and copy over sosreport.txt. The output of # lsinitrd <initramfs.img> is also helpful The lsinitrd comes out with the expected output (I assume you meant initrd.img ?). I am having trouble getting the sosreport.txt out to a file from inside the VMware vm engine (and there is no network). Now, things have regressed for me. Pungi is failing to build now for some reason. I get this error: no anaconda package in the repository Even though in the output of pungi prior to bailing out with this error I see this: (104/3924): anaconda-19.30.13-1.fc19.x86_64.rpm | 2.0 MB 00:00:00 which indicates it was found just fine (and it's the exact same as in the official DVD). I have gotten some other odd errors. Is this process usually so unreliable? Also, and I was getting this before and shoudl have brought this up earlier, because it's extremely suspicious: I had to add an "everything" mirror, because without it, I was getting missing packages for firstboot and others. Here is the thing: firstboot should not be needed. It is NOT in the official DVD, and people who claim to know (in the anaconda channel), said that "[firstboot] it's dead. replaced by initial-setup and gnome-initial-setup". The kickstart file i am using is this: http://ur1.ca/ejlo2 with two exceptions, no updates and adding my local repos for 1) the official DVD (which should be ENOUGH!) 2) the local os mirror 3) the local everything mirror So, what am I missing? Why can't I reproduce something close to the official bits, for tweaking?? For the sake of future searchability, the original screenshot with the original issue contains the following text: [ OK ] Reached target Paths.

Typo in the label caused this error -- not being able to find the root device. It just was not obvious how to track this! |
