[CentOS] 4.4 kickstart issues

[Steve Finley]

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
warning:     mkinitrd-4.2.1.8-1                       PreReq: dev
warning:     udev-039-10.15.EL4                       PreReq: hotplug
warning: removing hotplug-2004_04_01-7.7 "Requires: initscripts >= 
7.93.14.EL" from tsort relations.
warning:     hotplug-2004_04_01-7.7                   Requires: 
initscripts >= 7.93.14.EL

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
