Description of problem: If the user has forgotten to install busybox-anaconda on the client root, it would be nice if updateDiskless would indicate that, instead of simply complaining it cannot find the file in some obscure location. I suspect I'm not the only person to fail to notice the relevant instruction in the System Administration Guide :-) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a root fs for a diskless client following the System Administration Guide, except do not install busybox-anaconda. 2. In redhat-config-netboot configure the diskless client setup using this root fs Actual results: redhat-config-netboot complains about busybox-anaconda not being found in some temporary directory. Expected results: redhat-config-netboot should instruct the user to install busybox-anaconda in the client root. Additional info:
This is now fixed with redhat-config-netboot-0.1.20-1_EL3, which will now present an error dialog if any required executable or modules file does not exist in the client root. Please download the new version from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/redhat-config-netboot/ and let me know of any further issues with it - thank you!
The error message is perfectly clear now, thanks!
