Dear Bill:
I still haven't managed to get a shell out of /sbin/loader when it
crashes, despite some hacking. However, it does look as if USB is
working correctly. Here is more information that will probably answer
your question. Please let me know if you want me to put more effort
into hacking so that I can get a prompt where "ls" and "cat" will work
at this early stage in installation. As matters stand, I don't get a
shell until Python/Anaconda is running, after Kudzu has been weird, and
I will explain why I think USB is ok at that point (at least):
As a reminder, the phase where we probe is right after /sbin/loader
prints "getting kickstart file from first CDROM".
This particular machine, as you probably know, has a USB CD-ROM drive.
I get an INFO-level message from /sbin/loader saying:
"inserted /tmp/usb-storage.ko"
The kernel log messages include the following, most of which I think
will be relevant. (the ones before here are scrolled off the top of the
screen):
<6>USB Mass Storage support registered.
<5> Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-224E Rev: 2.9B
<5> Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 00
<5> Vendor: TEAC Model: FD-05PUB Rev: 2000
<5> Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00
<5>sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
<7>usb-storage: device scan complete
<4>sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
<6>Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
<7>sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
<7>usb-storage: device scan complete
After those messages, the kernel starts to chat about the tg3.c:v3.49
driver (for the Ethernet controller on the BladeCenter), but it
certainly appears that USB is installed.
Via debugging code, I've seen that at this point, probeDevices is
actually returning a one element device array with at least one pointer
to a "device" structure, but that device structure's "device" (device
pathname) field is a NULL pointer.
Here is what I've done to anaconda/loader2/cdinstall.c to get the
debugging info I just described:
/*
* Return 0 if we get the kickstart file from the CDROM. Nonzero if we fail
* to do so.
*/
int kickstartFromCD(char *kssrc, int flags) {
int rc;
char *p, *kspath;
struct device ** devices;
logMessage(INFO, "getting kickstart file from first CDROM");
devices = probeDevices(CLASS_CDROM, BUS_UNSPEC, 0);
if (!devices) {
logMessage(ERROR, "No CDROM devices found"
" (probeDevices returned NULL)!");
return 1;
}
/* format is ks=cdrom:[/path/to/ks.cfg] */
kspath = "";
p = strchr(kssrc, ':');
if (p)
kspath = p + 1;
if (!p || strlen(kspath) < 1)
kspath = "/ks.cfg";
struct device *devp = devices[0];
if (!devp) {
logMessage(ERROR, "No CDROM devices found"
" (probeDevices returned a zero-element array)!");
return 1;
}
char *devname = NULL;
for (struct device **devpp = devices; *devpp; ++devpp) {
char *devname = (*devpp)->device;
if (!devname ) {
newtWinMessage(_("Error"), _("Try more entries"),
_("Internal error: probeDevices returned"
" a non-existent device name for CD ROM Devices."
" This is probably a bug in Kudzu."
" Trying to recover with any following entry."));
continue;
}
}
if (!devname) {
newtWinMessage(_("Error Wackiness"), _("I Surrender"),
_("probeDevices() returned"
" no useful device names for CD ROM Devices."
" This is probably a bug in Kudzu."));
return 1;
}
Interestingly enough, perhaps, with these hacks I do now go into Python
Anaconda (without a kickstart file available, of course). And at this
point, the CD is in fact successfully mounted, off of /tmp/cdrom, which
is block device major=11, minor=0.
On tty4, there are some kernel messages that seem to indicate that the
system is attempting to treat the first SCSI device as a CDROM drive,
even though that appears to be a way to get to the floppy instead:
<6>device-mapper: 4.5.0-ioctl .....
Then, the following block of 4 lines appears (call it "Block 4"):
<5>SCSI device sda: 2880 512-byte hdwr sectors (1MB)
<5>sda: Write Protect is off
<7>sda: Mode Sense: 00 46 94 00
<3>sda: assuming drive cache: write through
Followed by a duplicate appearance of Block 4,
Followed by the intriguing line:
<6> sda: unknown partition table
And then:
<6>SELinux: initialized (dev sda, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts
Followed by two more repetitions of block 4.
Followed by:
<6> sda: unknown partition table
<4>VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev sda
<4>Unable to identify CD-ROM format,
<3>cramfs: wrong magic
<6>SELinux: initialized (dev sda, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts
At this point, there is now a shell running on tty2.
In /proc/devices, I see:
In that shell, I can explore /sys/bus/usb/devices, which has seven
entries, four of "00" and three of "09".
I've attached the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices. They seem
reasonable to me.
Please let me know what it would be appropriate to look for in that
directory that would help to debug the problem.
Thank you again for the help and advice. I look forward to hearing from
you.
