I'm trying to install rawhide under hercules. I've downloaded the entire rawhide tree and made it accessible via both http and nfs. NFS installs start, but http installs immediately fail: unable to get netstg1.img In debug.log, I see * transferring http://10.100.0.254//s390/raw/RedHat/base/updates.img to a fd * transferring http://10.100.0.254//s390/raw/disc1/RedHat/base/updates.img to a fd * transferring http://10.100.0.254//s390/raw/RedHat/base/netstg1.img to a fd * transferring http://10.100.0.254//s390/raw/disc1/RedHat/base/netstg1.img to a fd * transferring http://10.100.0.254//s390/raw/RedHat/base/updates.img to a fd * transferring http://10.100.0.254//s390/raw/disc1/RedHat/base/updates.img to a fd * transferring http://10.100.0.254//s390/raw/RedHat/base/netstg1.img to a fd * transferring http://10.100.0.254//s390/raw/disc1/RedHat/base/netstg1.img to a fd And in the web server log on 10.100.0.254, I see requests for the URLs shown above. Tests from the host Linux system on which hercules is running are able to wget the netstg1.img just fine....
can you try using ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/s390/ instead of rawhide? also can you check that the httpd daemon is actually getting the requests (ie verify network connectivity, ip forwarding through host system hercules is on, etc. :) )
the 7.2 tree works fine the httpd daemon definitely gets the requests. From its access.log: 10.100.0.1 - - [05/Jan/2003:16:55:06 -0700] "GET /s390/raw/RedHat/base/netstg1.img HTTP/1.0" 200 12696 "-" "-" It looks to me like the rawhide tree does the wget of netstg1.img, but fails to "mount" it, perhaps? It definitely sends the request and the server sees it, though.
hmmm ... rawhide is not working properly ... glad to hear it is working with the official 7.2-s390 tree, though ...
