Once there, weak-modules also calls mkinitrd, and it don't depend on it. I was able to get a machine install without mkinitrd with this %packages section on the kickstart: %packages @base @base-x @core @gnome-desktop comps-extras cracklib-dicts gnome-mime-data gnome-applets autofs rmt tzdata gcc ncurses-devel python-devel rpm-build strace zlib-devel -anacron *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 463777 *** How is this a duplicate of #463777 ? That bug is about calling nm without passing any parameters. This bug is about RPM package dependencies. They are both regarding nm, but that is as far as I see the similarity go. This actually got fixed as part of 463777 is what I mean :) |
Description of problem: /sbin/weak-modules calls "nm". nm is provided by the binutils package, which is not a dependency of module-init-tools. If binutils isn't installed then /sbin/weak-modules shows errors about not being able to run nm ('xargs: nm: No such file or directory') Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre3.1.37.el5 How reproducible: Every time. Additional info: The addition of: Requires (pre): binutils in the specfile should fix it.
