Description Thomas Wiest 2003-07-07 22:32:29 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314

Description of problem:
When installing kernel-smp it seems that it's expecting this symlink to be there:
/lib/kernel/2.4.9-e.24smp/libredhat-kernel.so.1 ->
/lib/kernel/2.4.9-e.24smp/libredhat-kernel.so.1.0.1

that isn't there. In the install.log file located in /mnt/sysimage/tmp, the last
line is:

"tar: error while loading shared libraries: libredhat-kernel.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory"

Also, I am not doing a full install (see below for the ks.cfg script that
specifies the RPMS that are being install).

Additional Info (May be helpful, may not)
-----------------------------------------
Hardware: Dell Poweredge 1600SC
Installation type: Network install using Kickstart script

ks.cfg script:
--------------
install
rootpw novell
nfs --server apt.provo.novell.com --dir /inet/ftp/pub/redhat/2.1AS/i386/
interactive
lang en_US
langsupport --default en_US en_US

timezone America/Denver

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.4.9-e.24.i686.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to recreate:
------------------
1. do a kickstart install with a ks.cfg file that has the same package list as
the ks.cfg file from the description.
2. wait until the kernel-smp rpm is trying to be installed.
3. notice that the installer hangs and that you see the same error message as
above in the install.log file.  

Actual Results:  the installer hangs while installing the kernel-smp rpm and
can't recover.

Expected Results:  it should finish installing the kernel-smp rpm
