Description of problem: I tried to start a rescue system, where the image is used from an FTP server. Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 U3 is used. Everything is correct (boot image, netstg1, FTP server etc). --- snipp --- Running anaconda - please wait... Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 236, in ? rescue.runRescue("/mnt/sysimage", not rescue_nomount, id) File "/usr/src/build/331960-ia64/install//usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 84 , in runRescue File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 242, in makeDevInode _isys.mkdevinode(name, fn) SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory') install exited abnormally sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done disabling swap... unmounting filesystems... /mnt/runtime done disabling /dev/loop0 /proc/bus/usb done /proc done /dev/pts done /tmp/ramfs done you may safely reboot your system --- snapp --- How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. linux rescue console=ttyS0 2. enter network data 3. enter FTP information 4. get the error from above Actual results: I don't have this problem with RHAS 2.1 Q2's boot image/netstg1. Expected results: Using the rescue system from RHAS 2.1 U3 without a crash ;-)
Does this happen with U4?
Is U4 officially released? So we've got only RHEL2.1AS-ia64-U4-re0416.RC.0-ia64-disc?.iso here...
It's been released for about a month now on RHN

Sorry, I verified the working yesterday with U4 / U5-RC, so U4 does it for me :)
