Next, I went ahead and copied stage2.img to product.img and tried again. The installation successfully continued. I am now watching the server log and see ftp download of rpm files happily taking place...
I must conclude that there is a glitch in the installer of CentOS4.5 CD#1.
Can you file that on bugs.centos.org, please? Thank you.
Additional datapoints (I'll add this to the/a bug report):
- The relevant Anaconda is probably:
--- 2006-11-10 Dave Lehman dlehman@redhat.com
improve handling of local (cdrom) stage2 with URL installs (#189262) * loader2/urlinstall.c: grab product.img from the URL instead of hdlist and verify that its stamp matches the initrd's * urlinstall.py: add systemMounted, systemUnmounted, filesDone methods to handle the stage2 image so the cdrom can be ejected at the end of installation ---
- As Akemi indicated, adding storage.img to the FTP server is a workaround for this problem. - Even with product info in place, there seem to be to two errors in loader2/urlinstall.c:
* The CD should be checked, rather than the FTP site (at least according to the comments) * There code path should be altered so that it doesn't loop on CD detection if it cannot be mounted.
