I'm trying to do an NFS install. The ethernet card (EtherExpress) is autodetected and name lookup works. When I give the program a (valid) name and directory of an installation archive, the following is output to a console: * calling mount(sipb-nfs:/redhat/5.2/i386, /tmp/rhimage, nfs, -105820971, 0x80b4504) * method selection completed * writing network information to /tmp/ifcfg-eth0 * state saved to /tmp * error in exec of second stage loader :-( * error:No such file or directory I've tried this on multiple servers, and verified on each that the path is accessible, mountable, and contains the proper files with the proper permissions.‰
Have you been able to get any previous installs to work from this tree on different workstations?
A different machine produces the same error on two install trees on two distinct NFS servers. Interestingly, though, the install program can mount a 5.1 install tree and proceed into second stage install, though with the (expected) error "/usr/lib/rpmrc: No such file or directory"‰
The 5.1 and 5.2 boot disks are not interchangeable due to a different location of /var/lib/rpmrc. As for the other problem I have not been able to replicate the problem in the lab. I would do a permissions comparison between the working 5.1 tree and the 5.2 tree to make sure all files and directories are set correctly.
