Greetings all,
I'm trying to create a CentOS 4.4 kickstart CD (not a network install), duplicating what I've done for Fedora Core 3.
I am having a cirular dependency for initscripts, which causes initscripts not to be installed (no /etc/inittab when the boot gets to INIT)
The cascade is:
initscripts-7.39.25.EL-1.centos4 requires /sbin/nash /sbin/nash is in mkinitrd-4.2.1.8-1 mkinitrd-4.2.1.8-1 requires dev dev appears to be in udev-039-10.15.EL4 udev-039-10.15.EL4 requires hotplug hotplug requires initscripts-7.93.14.EL
I'm guessing that the hotplug spec file is wrong. I can build my own version and continue finding conflicts (like the circular dependency between cracker and cracker-dict, for example), but my real question is, how is your iso distribution able to install with this initscripts conflict?
There is no conflict .... at least not a version conflict. I do CD/DVD, http and NFS kick starts all the time. ------------------------------------------ [johnny@myth ~]$ rpm -q --requires hotplug | grep initscripts initscripts >= 7.93.14.EL
The above clearly says >= ... 7.93.25.EL is >= 7.93.14.EL, so that dependency is met. Not sure why your hotplug is set to "initscripts = 7.93.14.EL", or at least why it is being interpreted that way by whatever process you are trying to use. ------------------------------------------ Thanks, Johnny Hughes
