-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just browsed through my kickstart-list summary and saw that you seem to have the same problems with anaconda that we had back with FC2 and e1000 NICs. The first NFS-mount doesn't work with anaconda, but if you then do the mount by hand it works just fine, right? OK, someone back then (forgot your name, sorry ;)) suggested a simple patch to isys/nfsmount.c; Just try to remount the thing for a maximum number of times. This was the patch that I used to make things work: <PATCH> *** nfsmount.c 2004-05-06 23:40:21.000000000 +0200 - --- nfsmount.c 2004-06-10 12:55:56.600409365 +0200 *************** *** 198,209 **** ~ { ~ struct pmaplist *pmap; ~ static struct pmap p = {0, 0, 0, 0}; ~ server_addr->sin_port = PMAPPORT; ~ pmap = pmap_getmaps(server_addr); ! if (!pmap) ! return NULL; ~ if (version > MAX_NFSPROT) ~ version = MAX_NFSPROT; - --- 198,218 ---- ~ { ~ struct pmaplist *pmap; ~ static struct pmap p = {0, 0, 0, 0}; + int retries = 0; ~ server_addr->sin_port = PMAPPORT; ~ pmap = pmap_getmaps(server_addr); ! if (!pmap) { ! while (!pmap && (retries < 30)) { ! sleep(2); ! pmap = pmap_getmaps(server_addr); ! retries++; ! } ! if (!pmap) ! return NULL; ! } ! ~ if (version > MAX_NFSPROT) ~ version = MAX_NFSPROT; </PATCH> Simple enough and it worked for me, mayhaps it will work for you.
