Hi all:
Been working on anaconda for almost a month and I have used the shell
that is on tty2 to look at log messages and whatnot. On Friday the
shell simply stopped working. I tried to look for it in tty2 and it
wasn't there. At first I thought it was the type of installation, so I
decided to kickstart it into text mode. Didn't help at all. I entered
the pythons debuger to see if I could find anything interesting:
1. The os.access("/bin/sh", os.F_OK) returned False & and the
os.access("/sbin/sh", os.F_OK) returned False as well.
2. When I os.listdir("/bin") it lists sh as being inside the directory,
this also happens with os.listdir("/sbin").
3. Looked at the anacdump.txt and saw an ERROR that read "cannot open
shell - /bin/sh doesn't exist."
I'm pretty sure that the ERROR message is from the loader.c file but
have no clue as to way the /bin/sh is not found. Moreover seems very
strange that the os.listdir() lists the file and the os.access() does
not see it.
Anyone know a way out :(
any comment is greatly appreciated
Regards
Joel
