Hi,
When I kickstart a client it looks like all the packages are getting
installed ok. However, when I do a <ALT> <F3> on the client during
kickstart, the following message displays:
WARNING: not all packages in hdlist had order tag
Does anyone know why this error occurs? I've done a google search and have
seen a few people with the problem but no solution. I'm guessing I didn't
update the hdlist, hdlist2, or comps.xml files correctly.
This is my first time setting up kickstart. I am setting it up using NFS
with RedHat 8.0.
I copied the original 3 RH 8.0 CD's to the server and kickstarted
successfully without this error. I then copied the 8.0 updated packages
from updates.redhat.com to the kickstart server and removed the old versions
of the packages. I also tried it by just updating one package only instead
of all of the packages.
I ran genhdlist (after copying the new packages) 2 different ways:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --hdlist
RedHat/base/hdlist /home2/redhat/8.0_cdrom
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist /home2/redhat/8.0_cdrom
I also rebuilt comps.xml. I saw a couple diffent ways to do this. I
updated by doing the following:
-Remove the packages section from the comps.xml file
-/usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py comps.xml /home2/redhat 8.0_cdrom
> newcomps.xml
-remove the last line (</comps>) from the comps.xml file
-cat newcomps.xml >> comps.xml
-echo "</comps>" >> comps.xml
After kickstarting, the client does have the latest packages installed as
far I can tell (I spot-checked packages)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to start kickstarting clients
but I hesitate to do it until this is resolved.
Thanks,
Vicki
