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

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
