Description of problem: image creation of ppc64 netboot images fails in recent nightly. Logs are available: /mnt/redhat/brewroot/work/tasks/8848/6358848/runroot.log (109MB) or http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/work/tasks/8848/6358848/ Compose logs: http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/nightly/RHEL6.5-20131002.n.1/work/ppc64/buildinstall/logs/ Additional info: This is a Snapshot 2 breaker. Last successful compose was on thursday then compose failed due fips and python-multilib issues. Yesterday's respin of nightly was first which fail on this issue. Just to limit the bounds.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.
The test compose failed, but due to an actual problem rather than a faulty mk-images script. The netboot image on ppc64 is 55k over the size limit, so we should track that as a separate problem. Requesting a qa_ack+ now so we can push this change.
New test compose is running to see if we can get the ppc64 netboot image down to the right size: http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/devel/candidate-trees/RHEL6.5-20131002.1/
The last netboot is even bigger, but I also found a problem with the script where it would have still rejected the image if it had been under the target size. I've posted a new patch to fix that.
New test build of anaconda running with the updated patch mentioned in comment #5: http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=6365758
anaconda-13.21.208-1 still fails: /mnt/redhat/devel/candidate-trees/RHEL6.5-20131003.4/logs/ppc64-logs/buildinstall.log It does seem to get farther than before, which is why the test compose passed. However, buildinstall is still throwing an error and there are a number of files missing.
