question on minimal install using CF as /dev/sda

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi all,

We're attempting to use CentOS 5.1 on a test platform which uses a CF card as it's primary storage. (MB: ETX-LX)
The BIOS supports booting from CD and/or the CF.

Issues we've run into are:
During installation of CentOS 5.1, it appears all goes well through partitioning, package selection, interface configuration. Once the install starts in earnest, errors pop up...a snippet is:

================
Traceback (most recent call first):
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 640, in returnNewestByName
   raise PackageSackError, 'No Package Matching %s' % name
File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 318, in returnNewestByName return bestofeach.returnNewestByName(name)
File
"/tmp/treedir.29352/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1093, in getBestKernalByArch
   pkgs=
ayum.pkgSack.returnNewestByName(pkgname)
File
"/tmp/treedir.29352/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1102, in selectBestKernel
   kpkg = getBestKernalByArch("kernel", self.ayum)
File
"/tmp/treedir.29352/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1236 in doPostSelection
   self.selectBestKernel(anaconda)
File
"/tmp/treedir.29352/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 177 in doPostSelection
   return
anaconda.backend.doPostSelection(anaconda)
==================

It appears that we're not writing to the CF and a driver is needed. We have the driver, but are uncertain how to pass the information to the installer. No Floppy is present.

Any thoughts or suggestions or pointers to resources would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
-Ray
