We are trying to get an install tree for F18 and test it on a Calxeda
Highbank server. I am basing my work on the F17 install we did. What
I've done so far:
- created an install tree for F18 armhfp
lorax -p Fedora -v 18 -r 18 \
--variant="Fedora" \
--source="http://intranet.ges.redhat.com/es/Fedora/fedora-secondary/development/18/armhfp/os/";
\
--source="http://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/yum/f18/armhfp/os/Packages/"; \
/es/scratch/dmarlin/F18/lorax-trees/armv7hl-tree
The second source repository includes a newer test kernel package.
- set up the local repos and tftp server
- created a kickstart (attached)
I used the previous F17 kickstart file as a base and changed the repo
paths for F18. Everything else is the same.
- tried a PXE-boot, kickstart install.
This started as before (F17) but quickly failed. We had always used
cmdline mode, but this time if dropped out due to unanswered questions.
I switched to 'text' mode to try an work through these.
The first thing I hit was:
Install hub
1) [x] Timezone settings 2) [ ] Install Destination
(US/Eastern timezone) (Error checking storage
3) [x] Set root password configuration)
(Password is set.)
Please make your choice from above ['q' to quit | 'c' to continue]: 2
I selected the only drive on the system, and to use all space. I'm not
sure why this was undefined, as all the partitioning is specified in the
kickstart file, and worked in F17.
After this, it started installing but encountered an error and produced
a backtrace (attached).
AttributeError: 'YumPayload' object has no attribute 'storage'
I'm not sure where to go from there. Any suggestions or improving the
kickstart (to permit cmdline mode to work) or to work around this error
are appreciated.
Thank you,
