Anaconda errors when building custom CentOS-based distro
by Sam Hart 06 May '05

06 May '05

I am building a custom CentOS 4.0 based distribution (basically, trimmed down size and a few custom packages). I have successfully built other RPM-based distributions in the past without much trouble. However, this CentOS 4.0-based one is giving me headaches. The document I follow for remastering CentOS 4.0 is this one: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/gene_czarcinski/update_distro/ I know it is written for FC3, but I also was under the impression it contained information more general. When I run buildinstall with the CentOS 4.0 RPMs (right now, it contains no custom RPMs, these are all stock CentOS 4.0) it creates boot images which do not contain the anaconda script (/usr/bin/anaconda). Here is the relevant output: prickly-pear:/work# buildinstall --pkgorder $BASE/custom/pkgfile \ > --version 1 --product "Custom01" --release "Custom01" --prodpath CentOS $BASE/custom/i386 warning: /work/custom/i386/CentOS/RPMS/anaconda-runtime-10.1.1.13-1.centos4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821 Running buildinstall... /work/custom/i386/buildinstall.tree.21011 /work /work Going to run buildinstall again warning: /work/custom/i386/CentOS/RPMS/anaconda-runtime-10.1.1.13-1.centos4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821 Building images...

Removing unused python files in hdimage... /usr/sbin/chroot: cannot run command `/usr/bin/anaconda': No such file or directory I have googled for this error, and found many mentions of it, but no real solutions. The anaconda-runtime, anaconda, anaconda-help and busybox-anaconda packages are all installed and present as RPMs in the RPM asset directory (/work/custom/i386/CentOS/RPMS). Similarly, the other files that report errors (`usr/sbin/ldconfig', etc) are installed and present with their parent RPMs in the RPM asset directory. I am reasonably certain that I have dependency closure on these RPMs (I have made in-house rpmstrap scripts for it and can install via bootstrap), and my comps.xml file seems correct. Has anyone ever seen this "/usr/sbin/chroot: cannot run command `/usr/bin/anaconda'" error ever before? If so, any suggestions for what I can do to fix this? I'm not certain if this is the right place to ask this, but since the only RPM-base that is giving me this problem is CentOS 4.0 I figured it was the best place to go. -- ''''''''''''''''''''''''' .O.

x86_64 updates
by John Newbigin 19 Apr '05

The directory http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.4/updates/x86_64/RPMS/ contains i386 packages. I am setting up a local mirror so I was wondering if these packages are required?

kernel recompile - make modules_install fails.
by K Web 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

I'm trying to recompile the kernel on a CentOS4 (final) 2.6.9 kernel. I tried two different approaches and both fail at the same place : 1. downloaded kernel-sources.2.6.9...rpm 2. downloaded kernel.2.6.9....src.rpm in both cases I've been able to go through : make oldconfig make menuconfig make bzImage make modules however when I run make modules_install I get this error : ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1 if I do make -d modules_install it goes through some stuff and finally shows this: No need to remake target `Makefile'. Updating goal targets.... Considering target file `modules_install'. File `modules_install' does not exist. Considering target file `_modinst_'. File `_modinst_' does not exist.

Question on centos4-anaconda.patch
by Simone 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi, I was going through the anaconda patch and I have a question. At line 125, when patching kickstart-docs.html, RedHat/base/comps.xml is changed into CentOS/base/comps.xml. No change is made to the fact that the file should be found "on the first Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROM". Would it be more correct to change it to "the first CentOS CD-ROM"? Thanks for your attention, have a nice day Simone

RHN registration
by Simone 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Hi, just installed, CentOS4 from DVD (first CentOS installation), and after first reboot as soon as I log in, I receive a "Subscription Alert" that tells me to activate my subscription to RHN so to keep my system safe. Is this normal that I get on CentOS an invitation to register to Red Hat Network and to download/install RedHat key? Did you ever think about getting rid of this, just think it could be confusing for someone. Just my 1 cent. Have a nice day Simone

Rebuilding suggestions
by Simone 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

Hi, for the fun of having my own distro, I am rebuilding from sources and finally am at a good point. My next problem is to find all the trademarks and get rid of them. I already checked some of packages but still have some redhat stuff showing during install process that I can't seem to be able to get rid oft. Can you please indicate me the packages you've worked on while developing CentOS4?
