I first upgraded the RAID controller bios to 4.5.0.05 on my IBM Netfinity M20 21Y. I'm using a driverdisk (also 4.5.0.05) for my RAID controller at install time (with the "linux dd" installation method, since the "expert" installation method doesn't work !). Everything is working fine, untill anaconda tries to copy the ips module, (at the end of the coping process) which was also loaded by the driverdisk. I'm trying to install from an IDE cdrom drive with the original RedHat 7.0 cdrom. I'm desperate and need help, Thanx in advance... Here's the Anaconda bug report : Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1630, in doInstall self.copyExtraModules() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1348, in copyExtraModules os.rename(fromFile, to) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Local variables in innermost frame: fromFile: /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.2.16-22smp/ips.o kernelVersions: ['2.2.16-22smp', '2.2.16-22'] path: /tmp/modules/ips names: ips.o ips.o command: cd /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules; gunzip < /tmp/modules/ips/modules.cgz | /mnt/sysimage/bin/cpio --quiet -iumd 2.2.16-22smp/ips.o 2.2.16-22/ips.o version: 2.2.16-22 subdir: scsi to: /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.2.16-22smp/scsi/ips.o n: 2.2.16-22smp self: <todo.ToDo instance at 84a1878> pattern: 2.2.16-22smp/ips.o 2.2.16-22/ips.o name: ips ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'currentDisc' p6 I2
Passing to QA to reproduce.
hmmm ... I was unable to reproduce this problem in our test lab, using an older revision of firmware ... did it work properly for you with 7.0 using the older firmware ...?
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18470 ***
It didn't work at all with any version of both firmware nor RedHat, the only combination which worked was firmware version 4.5.0.05 and RedHat 7.0, without using the driverdisk. Anyway, I've installed everything, and it's running like a Harley Davidson on a sunny day in California. Thanks a lot for your time, and if you're still trying to hunt this down, I am available for questions/comments.
