Re: [Cooker] (MDK7-Alpha) Minor bugs installing, packages that should be there.
I just discovered that Install left some decent error messages behind in /root ... Here's the log, detailing how creating a RAID-0 Array crashes Disk-Drake My partition table: (after getting it all working manually), /dev/sda is as Disk-Drak left it, and I had /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc emptied (by DiskDrak) when I attempted to create the array Disk /dev/sda: 67 heads, 62 sectors, 1009 cylinders Nr AF Hd Sec Cyl Hd Sec CylStart Size ID 1 80 1 10 66 623 6216554 04 2 00 0 14 66 62 100816616 4174770 05 3 00 0 00 0 0000 00 4 00 0 00 0 0000 00 5 00 1 14 66 62 126 62 510880 82 6 00 1 1 127 66 62 273 62 610576 83 7 00 1 1 274 66 62 1008 62 3053128 83 Disk /dev/sdb: 67 heads, 62 sectors, 1009 cylinders Nr AF Hd Sec Cyl Hd Sec CylStart Size ID 1 00 1 10 66 62 1008 62 4191324 fd 2 00 0 00 0 0000 00 3 00 0 00 0 0000 00 4 00 0 00 0 0000 00 Disk /dev/sdc: 65 heads, 62 sectors, 1019 cylinders Nr AF Hd Sec Cyl Hd Sec CylStart Size ID 1 00 1 10 64 62 1018 62 4106508 fd 2 00 0 00 0 0000 00 3 00 0 00 0 0000 00 4 00 0 00 0 0000 00 The install log: * second stage install running * extra log messages are enabled * unknown line 1538 (2-the-Max MAXColor 6000) * unknown line 1541 (Gainward Challenger EV) * unknown line 1544 (MachSpeed VGA ET6000) * unknown line 1547 (KouTech KeyVision 128 EV) * Trying with server SVGA * running: rmmod vfat * running: rmmod msdos * running: rmmod fat * running: extract_archive /lib/modules.cz2 /tmp ide-disk.o sd_mod.o af_packet.o * running: insmod_ /tmp/ide-disk.o * running: insmod_ /tmp/sd_mod.o * running: insmod_ /tmp/af_packet.o * trying to load en.po from /usr/bin/perl-install/po.cz2 * starting step `selectLanguage' * warning: rm of /usr/share/locale failed: No such file or directory * running: extract_archive /usr/share/locale.cz2 /usr/share/locale ga * loading keymap uk * running: extract_archive /usr/share/xmodmap.cz2 /tmp xmodmap.uk * running: xmodmap /tmp/xmodmap.uk * trying to load ga.po from /usr/bin/perl-install/po.cz2 * step `selectLanguage' finished * starting step `selectInstallClass' * warning: setstep selectLanguage * starting step `selectLanguage' * loading keymap uk * running: extract_archive /usr/share/xmodmap.cz2 /tmp xmodmap.uk * running: xmodmap /tmp/xmodmap.uk * step `selectLanguage' finished * starting step `selectInstallClass' * warning: setstep selectLanguage * starting step `selectLanguage' * running: extract_archive /usr/share/locale.cz2 /usr/share/locale en * loading keymap us * running: extract_archive /usr/share/xmodmap.cz2 /tmp xmodmap.us * running: xmodmap /tmp/xmodmap.us * step `selectLanguage' finished * starting step `selectInstallClass' * step `selectInstallClass' finished * starting step `setupSCSI' * pci probe found 1 scsi devices * pcmcia probe found 0 scsi devices * found driver for ncr53c8xx * step `setupSCSI' finished * starting step `selectPath' * step `selectPath' finished * starting step `selectMouse' * step `selectMouse' finished * starting step `selectKeyboard' * loading keymap us * running: extract_archive /usr/share/xmodmap.cz2 /tmp xmodmap.us * running: xmodmap /tmp/xmodmap.us * step `selectKeyboard' finished * starting step `miscellaneous' * step `miscellaneous' finished * starting step `partitionDisks' * scsi devices are available * running: raidstop /dev/md0 * running: raidstop /dev/md1 * running: raidstop /dev/md2 * running: raidstop /dev/md3 * running: raidstop /dev/md4 * running: raidstop /dev/md5 * running: raidstop /dev/md6 * running: raidstop /dev/md7 * warning: Can't call method "cylinder_size" on unblessed reference at /usr/bin/perl-install/diskdrake.pm line 208. * starting step `partitionDisks' * unmounting all filesystems * scsi devices are available * running: raidstop /dev/md0 * running: raidstop /dev/md1 * running: raidstop /dev/md2 * running: raidstop /dev/md3 * running: raidstop /dev/md4 * running: raidstop /dev/md5 * running: raidstop /dev/md6 * running: raidstop /dev/md7 * warning: Can't call method "cylinder_size" on unblessed reference at /usr/bin/perl-install/diskdrake.pm line 208. * starting step `partitionDisks' * unmounting all filesystems * scsi devices are available * running: raidstop /dev/md0 * running: raidstop /dev/md1 * running: raidstop /dev/md2 * running: raidstop /dev/md3 * running: raidstop /dev/md4 * running: raidstop /dev/md5 * running: raidstop /dev/md6 * running: raidstop /dev/md7 * warning: setstep partitionDisks * warning: setstep partitionDisks ...propagated at /usr/bin/perl-install/diskdrake.pm line 185. * starting step `partitionDisks' * unmounting all filesyste
Re: [Cooker] (MDK7-Alpha) Minor bugs installing, packages that should be there.
: could you give your partition table, and maybe give the exact error (as seen on : console 3) I will try to get it when I go through install next, at the moment, I need the system for actual work . Rick

[Cooker] (MDK7-Alpha) Minor bugs installing, packages that should be there.
I just installed Mandrake 7.0 for Alpha, and here's a list of what's been
wrong:
* DiskDrake crashed when I clicked on the empty space on the raid
device to create a partition, saying "cannot read 'num_cyls' on an
unblessed reference" or something to that effect (I now wish I had paid
more attention). The MD device was made of two, approximately 2GB
partitions, one each on /dev/sdb1 and on /dev/sdc1, or both on /dev/sdb5
and /dev/sdc5 (which are DiskDrake's defaults, for some reason, always
creating an extended partition even when there is no primary)
* I received a warning of some sort about space ("A full install
needs 1302mb, but that's okay"), or something to that effect.
* I installed a bunch of packages that I felt were missing, mostly
from RedHat 6.2, if not, from RedHat Powertools 6.2 or HelixCode
* sudo
* krb5-*
* krbafs-*
* pam-0.72-6
* pam_krb5-1-7
* mpg123-0.59r-4
* rpm-*-3.0.4-0.48
* smpeg-*-0.3.1-2
* all the HelixCode GNOME stuff, which, by the way, rocks.
* gob, from the author, so their gnome-pilot RPM
ould build.
* mikmod-3.1.6-6 from RedHat, because the Helix XMMS won't
build against the mandrake mikmod/libmikmod
packages
* sound was never configured (I have a nice simple AD 1848 card,
too... nice and easy to find), so I installed, from RedHat 6.2:
* awesfx-0.4.3a-3
* sndconfig-0.44-1
* playmidi-2.4-9
All in all, fairly painless install... no "problems" (ie: can't boot),
just the weirdness with the hard drives was the big one (I just made the
raid array after install, then moved /home to it)... Now to find SSL and
SSH SRPMs that will actually build on an alpha...
Oh, and just a note... the fact that Postfix is installed by default over
Sendmail is a stroke of genius. Thank you. (I always download it and
install it on my RedHat systems, this first shot at Mandrake was
great! It's the way things "Should be done" mostly)
