Got the first part of the install to finally get past not seeing any disks at all. Now it just seems to be having problems with the disks. The process gets to the point of creating the filesystems, then bombs out with this: Traceback ( most recent call last ) File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1080, in ? intf.run(id, nispath, configFiledata) File "/usr/src/build/315542-i386/install/usr/lib/anacond/text.py", line 471, in run File "/usr/src/build/315542-i386/install/usr/lib/anacond/dispatch.py", line 157, in gotoNext File "/usr/src/build/315542-i386/install/usr/lib/anacond/dispatch.py", line 225, in moveStep File "/usr/src/build/315542-i386/install/usr/lib/anacond/packages.py", line 407, in turnOnFilesystems File "/usr/src/build/315542-i386/install/usr/lib/anacond/fsset.py", line 1288, in createLogicalVolumes File "/usr/src/build/315542-i386/install/usr/lib/anacond/fsset.py", line 1799, in setupDevice System Error: pvcreate failed for <fsset.PartitionDevice instance at 0x836d004> At the bottom of the anacdump.txt, there was the following: /tmp/lvout: pvcreate -- ERROR: "/etc/lvmtab" doesn't exist, please run vgscan If I try and run vgscan from the shell, I get the following /usr/sbin/vgscan vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded? Any input would be appreciated. I'm guessing this is something I screwed up while trying to get the new cciss.o driver from HP to work. I downloaded the 2.4.21-15.ELBOOT RPM from RedHat, and took the vmlinuz out of that, along with all the drivers. I created a /2.4.21-15.ELBOOT/i386 dir and put all the .o files from the 2.4.21.15.ELBOOT rpms into it. cpio'd it and gzipped it. I don't have an initrd.img from a 2.4.21-15.ELBOOT dist, so I just used the 2.4.21-4.ELBOOT initrd.img and replaced the modules.cgz with mine, which might be the reason this thing is failing. The disks got recognized and they did load the cciss.o module tho, so that's one step closer than I was before. Could anyone tell me what the difference is between a regular vmlinuz and one from the BOOT distros? As always, any help at all is always appreciated. Thanks, sh
