OpenNode > Installation and Configuration

Can't install OpenNode 6.0beta1

<< < (2/2)

epretorious:
Digging a little deeper. I may have found the root cause of the problem: I believe that the kickstart script is confused by the presence of the CD-ROM (i.e., /dev/sr0).

* Select "Install system with basic video driver" from the boot menu.
* Select the correct NIC and use NetworkManager to configure the network interface.
* The installer presents a menu:
--- Code: ---**************************************************************************
DETECTED HARDDISKS: 2
**************************************************************************

**************************************************************************

c0d0:139979 MB (136 GB)
sr0: 500 MB    (0 GB)

**************************************************************************
!!! PLEASE MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN AVAILABLE PARTITIONING OPTIONS BELOW   !!!
!!! CAUTION: AUTOMATED PARTITIONING WILL DELETE ALL EXISTING PARTIITONS !!!
**************************************************************************

1) AUTOMATED PARTITIONING (HARWARE RAID OR NO RAID NEEDED)
2) MANUAL PARTITIONING

Your choice:
--- End code ---

If the user selects Option #1 the system continues (briefly)...


--- Code: ---Running anaconda 13.21.82, the OpenNode system installer - please wait.
The following error was found while parsing the kickstart configuration file:

The following problem occurred on line 4 of the kickstart file:

Specified nonexistent disk c0d0 in clearpart command

install exited abnormally [1/1]
The system will be rebooted when you press Ctrl-C or trol-Alt-Delete
--- End code ---

...but fails to complete installation.

If the user selects Option #2 the installer begins a graphical installer...


--- Code: ---Running anaconda 13.21.82, the OpenNode system installer - please wait.
HH:MM:SS Starting graphical installation.
--- End code ---

...and continues successfully to completion.

Probably kickstart hardisks macro is returning sr0 as primary drive to install script - we need to add some checks to it. Thanks for reporting and digging into issue - I will add it to our bugtracker - and will try to fix with next installer release.

I'm sure that there's an assumption being made in the kickstart script about the fully-qualified path to the block device. i.e., /dev/c0d0 versus /dev/cciss/c0d0.

I'll dig a little more later tonight.
