Re: [CentOS] 4.4 kickstart issues

Johnny,

Thanks for responding.  My bad - I have a typo in my original post.  I show

initscripts-7.39.25.EL-1.centos4


..it actually is initscripts-7-93.25.EL-1.centos4

As you point out:
"7.93.25.EL is >= 7.93.14.EL"
and I expected this to be fine too. I guess I misinterpreted the output from pkgorder:

warning: removing initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4 "Requires: /sbin/nash" from tsort relations.
warning:     initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4         Requires: /sbin/nash

If I grab disc1 from the iso distribution and perform a linux rescue my failed install, I see
this is the install.log:

Installing initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4.i386.
/usr/sbin/groupadd: error while loading shared libraries: libaudit.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error: %pre(initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1.centos4

I have other error messages in the install.log as well. I have had pleanty of success with FC3 kickstarts. I made the (apparently incorrect) assumption that the CentOS kickstart would
be exactly the same.  Perhaps you could point me to a document?

Thanks again

Steve Finley

Greetings all,

I'm trying to create a CentOS 4.4 kickstart CD (not a network install), duplicating what
I've done for Fedora Core 3.

I am having a cirular dependency for initscripts, which causes initscripts not to be installed
(no /etc/inittab when the boot gets to INIT)

The cascade is:

initscripts-7.39.25.EL-1.centos4 requires /sbin/nash
/sbin/nash is in mkinitrd-4.2.1.8-1
mkinitrd-4.2.1.8-1 requires dev
dev appears to be in udev-039-10.15.EL4
udev-039-10.15.EL4 requires hotplug
hotplug requires initscripts-7.93.14.EL

I'm guessing that the hotplug spec file is wrong. I can build my own version and continue finding conflicts (like the circular dependency between cracker and cracker-dict, for example), but my real question is, how is your iso distribution able to install with this initscripts conflict?

There is no conflict .... at least not a version conflict.  I do CD/DVD,
http and NFS kick starts all the time.
------------------------------------------
[johnny@myth ~]$ rpm -q --requires hotplug | grep initscripts
initscripts >= 7.93.14.EL

The above clearly says >= ... 7.93.25.EL is >= 7.93.14.EL, so that
dependency is met.  Not sure why your hotplug is set to "initscripts =
7.93.14.EL", or at least why it is being interpreted that way by
whatever process you are trying to use.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
