Description of problem: When you try and do a text based install via FTP using the second tree structure, the install fails on package hwdata-0.146.18.EL-1. MSG: The package hwdata-0.146.18.EL-1 cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file or perhaps a corrupt package. If you are installing from CD media this usually means the CD media is corrupt, or the CD drive is unable to read the media. Press <return> to try again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: This is reproducable. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create and configure install server 2. mkdir /var/ftp/pub/rhel4u3/disk[1234] 3. mount -o ro,loop /export/RHEL4-U3-i386-ES-disk[1234].iso /var/ftp/pub/rhel4u3/disk[1234] 4. Boot client system and choose an FTP install Actual results: Client install fails Expected results: I should be able to do the install as the manual suggests Additional info: I turned on logging for the FTP server and the package is trying to be downloaded from the wrong location. It thinks the package is on disk1, when it is on disk2. FTP log: Fri Oct 27 15:57:42 2006 1 192.168.0.10 0 /pub/rhel4u3/disk1/RedHat/RPMS/hwdata-0.146.18.EL-1.noarch.rpm b _ o a anonymous@ ftp 0 * i File location: [root@Installer ftp]# find . -name "hwdata*" -print ./pub/rhel4u3/disk2/RedHat/RPMS/hwdata-0.146.18.EL-1.noarch.rpm
Can you try with the RHEL4 update release (RHEL 4.4 or RHEL4 Update 4)?
requested by Jams Antill
I do not have this environment set up any more. We were using update 3 because of application requirements. update 4 was not approved for our application.
Feel free to reopen this bug if you continue seeing problems or have more information to add. Thanks.
