buildinstall cannot find modules
by treed＠ultraviolet.org 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

When using buildinstall and CentOS 5.2 to create my own CD minus a bunch of unneeded RPM's and plus a few of my custom RPM's I find that the install CD that gets build does not install an initrd which renders the system unbootable. I also notice that when I run buildinstall with the -debug option it says: unpacking /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/kernel-2.6.18-92.el5.x86_64.rpm.x86_64 Building initrd.img Module 3c501 not found in kernel rpm Module 3c503 not found in kernel rpm Module 3c505 not found in kernel rpm and so on for many kernel modules. I notice that the filename it says it is unpacking ends with .x86_64.rpm.x86_64. Is that normal? I google'd and found someone else saying theirs did the same thing. Could this be related to why I'm not ending up with an initrd being installed? -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org

grub permission denied
by Jay 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

I have one server that I can not edit the /etc/grub/grub.conf file. I get permission denied as root. I can change other files just not grub.conf. after unmounting /dev/hda from /boot and mounting under /g for a test the same things occurs. Even in single mode I can not modify / delete / move the file. When umounted I did a fsck on it and all is fine. also can not edit menu.lst which links to grub.conf. what am I missing? Thanks -Jay
