Description of problem: iSCSI on '/' installations fail because dracut-network is not in the base DVD repository. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/comps/comps-f12.xml.in?revision=1.193&view=markup How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Test_Plans/iSCSI_Installation_Test_plan#No_authentication Actual results: * THe install fails to boot because dracut-network (required for network booting) was not installed Expected results: * THe install fails to boot because dracut-network (required for network booting) was not installed Additional info: # grep -C2 dracut /var/log/anaconda.log 16:27:31 INFO : moving (1) to step postselection 16:27:31 INFO : selected kernel package for kernel 16:27:31 DEBUG : no package matching dracut-network # mount -o loop /media # find /media/Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso -iname 'dracut*rpm' /media/Packages/dracut-002-13.4.git8f397a9b.fc12.noarch.rpm
So, we have options here: 1) Add dependencies <somewhere> so this gets pulled in 2) Add it to comps 3) Pull it onto the spin manually Jesse?
agreed at the blocker meeting today that this is a release blocker. can be trivially fixed in a re-spin by including the package. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
So anaconda seeks out this package if you happen to do a network / install? Hrm. Is there a way to get a list of these optional like packages from anaconda? For F12 we can simply just hack it into the ks that pungi uses, but that seems fragile going forward.
(In reply to comment #3) > So anaconda seeks out this package if you happen to do a network / install? I've confirmed that installing from a network repo (like rawhide), anaconda finds and installs dracut-network. The network package repo must be the Everything repo, and not just the exploded DVD.
For the sake of F12, I've added dracut-* to the manifest we use to compose the Fedora spin.
This appears to be resolved in RC4 ... except on the ppc disc. # find /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/F-12-RC4-*/Packages/ -iname 'dracut-network*' /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/F-12-RC4-i386/Packages/dracut-network-002-13.4.git8f397a9b.fc12.noarch.rpm /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/F-12-RC4-x86_64/Packages/dracut-network-002-13.4.git8f397a9b.fc12.noarch.rpm Reopening just so we don't lose this issue.
Here's what I know at this point. * This issue is _not_ present on i386 and x86_64 * This issue has straightforward workarounds. Either ... > install from a network repository that includes all Fedora packages > manually install dracut * Users affected: > Anyone performing a network volume install on ppc (iscsi, nfs or nbb) I'm recommending resolving this remaining issue by way of CommonBugs documentation. Objections or concerns?
That's what I would suggest as well.
Discussed w/ ddumas, notting and jkeating. All agreed that the remaining ppc issue could be documented on Common_F12_Bugs. I'ev added the keyword and will circle back with documentation shortly. Removing from the F12Blocker list.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This should be fixed with later spins.
