# TREE RHEL5.2-Server-20080225.2/ia64 During a non-ibft iscsi installation I see the following stderr messages near the end of the install. This installation was done over a serial console. I suspect we are not capturing iscsiadm output when attempting to process and iBFT firmware reads. +-------------+ Post Install +--------------+ | | | Performing post install configuration...iscsiadm: Could not read fw values. | | iscsiadm: Could not read fw values.+-------------------------------------------+
Created attachment 296261 [details] iscsi-stderr.patch Proposed fix, adding stderr= keyword argument to iutil.execWithCapture() calls
had a quick look at the code and I don't think that the patch in comment 1 really fixes the issue. I'm basing my opinion on the fact that the execWithCaputre redirects stderr to stdout by default. Moreover stdout is redirected to the rc variable. so nothing should appear on the screan. have to look more closely into this.
just made a test with nightly-Server-20080327/x86_64, I did not see the issue.
I've done several text-mode kickstart installs on ia64 ... and didn't observe this problem. However, to feel good I'd like to do a manual text-mode kickstart, but cannot because bug#437773 is blocking me from adding an iSCSI device in text-mode.
jlaska, can you do so now that 437773 has been fixed?
I can confirm that this was resolved.
