I don't know if this was fixed in later versions of anaconda, but I ended
up fixing it and port numbers in the url for RH7.2. The code looks like
this:
in setupKickstart() in loader.c:
} else if (ksType == KS_CMD_URL) {
memset(&ui, 0, sizeof(ui));
imageUrl = strdup(url);
/* Valid URL's look like:
proto://[user[:pass]@]server[:port]/prefix_dir
*/
if (strlen(url) > 255) {
logMessage("URL is too large");
return NULL;
}
/* find out which protocol we're using */
if ((!strncmp("ftp://";, url, 6))) {
url += 6;
ui.protocol = URL_METHOD_FTP;
} else if (!strncmp("http://";, url, 7)) {
url += 7;
ui.protocol = URL_METHOD_HTTP;
} else {
logMessage("unknown url protocol '%s'", url);
return NULL;
}
/* get the "prefix" directory */
chptr = strchr(url, '/');
*chptr = '\0';
ui.prefix = strdup(chptr+1);
/* find a user name/password and the server name */
if ((chptr = strchr(url, '@'))) {
*chptr = '\0';
t_addr = chptr+1;
if ((chptr = strchr(url, ':'))) {
*chptr = '\0';
ui.password = strdup(chptr+1);
logMessage("password %s", ui.password);
}
ui.login = strdup(url);
logMessage("login %s", ui.login);
} else {
t_addr = url;
}
/* find the port # if any */
if ((chptr = strchr(t_addr, ':'))) {
*chptr = '\0';
if (ui.protocol == URL_METHOD_HTTP)
ui.httpPort = strtol(chptr+1, (char **) NULL, 10);
} else {
if (ui.protocol == URL_METHOD_HTTP)
ui.httpPort = 80;
}
/* get the server name */
ui.address = strdup(t_addr);
logMessage("url address %s", ui.address);
if (ui.protocol == URL_METHOD_HTTP)
logMessage("url port %d", ui.httpPort);
logMessage("url prefix %s", ui.prefix);
if (loadUrlImages(&ui, flags)) {
logMessage("failed to retrieve second stage");
return NULL;
}
}
..
I also added a member to the struct iurlinfo called "httpPort" which
you'll need to do to get that code snippet to work which needs to get
passed in mountUrlImage() when it's calling writeNetInfo().
Good luck.
