ftp::/updates.redhat.com/6.0/images/i366/boot.img is corrupt; fails signature from the following command. "rpm --checksig --nopgp boot.img" result: boot.img: rpmReadSignature failed (another gottcha)
Its not an RPM - you can't run rpm --checksig on it.
boot.img has invalid signature from rpm - is corrupt and won't boot the system
What is the error message?
The error message is: booting: loading initrd.img.......boot failed. As mentioned above another error message is the failed signature of rpm. I noticed that the filesystem of boot.img is type vfat while the modules and supp disk is ext2. Does that make any difference?
You may likely have a bad disk or currupted download. Please try again with either a new diskette or redownload the file.
Still corrupt as far as I know. The rpm issue: If I am not supposed to run rpm on it then the web page has an error. Check http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/errata/RHEA1999036_01.html It states: You can verify each package with the following command: rpm --checksig filename If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command: rpm --checksig --nopgp filename MD5 sum Package Name -------------------------------------------- fb4148c2beb24916bb656285707208e boot.img 20388eb5a5e5610e13d15c052253ac4b bootnet.img e44b6ca830437d9dff5a3b4279c24e85 modules.img bd59241e384f615aed68d0e8bc37320d supp.img Last time I tried the numbers did not match. I will try another time this evening when I get home.
