Re: Getting kernel.img and initrd.img for RHEl 7.1 - bootstrap version

2015-10-02 Thread Chu, Raymond
Mark, 

No they are no big at all.  My LNXMAINT.192 is sized for 350 MB and has plenty 
of space left.

When I ftped the first time, I got the errors like

ftp> put RH71.initrd.img  RH71.INITRD
200 Port request OK.
150 Storing file 'RH71.INITRD'
451 Data transfer aborted: record too long


That was the reason that I generated the email thread. 

After your response. I did another ftping and this time worked

ftp> QUOTE SITE FIX 80
200 Site command was accepted.
200 Representation type is IMAGE.
ftp> put RH71.initrd.img RH71.INITRD
200 Port request OK.
150 Storing file 'RH71.INITRD'
250 Transfer completed successfully.
ftp: 26347136 bytes sent in Seconds .xKbytes/sec.
ftp> put RH71.kernel.img RH71.KERNEL
200 Port request OK.
150 Storing file 'RH71.KERNEL'
250 Transfer completed successfully.
ftp: 3749376 bytes sent in x.xxSeconds .xKbytes/sec.
ftp> QUIT

I further checked the LNXMAINT.192 and they are there as expected.

RH71 KERNEL   D1 F 80  46868900 
RH71 INITRD   D1 F 80 329340   6433
RHEL65   KERNEL   D1 F 80 113594   1752
RHEL65   INITRD   D1 F 80 234521   4581

I believe I am alrght now. Thanks for all you assistance.

Ray

initrd.img at 26347136 bytes and kernel.img at 3749376 bytes are the ones you 
want.  26M and 3.6M, respectively.

I cobbled-up an EXEC to pull the kernel and INITRD from the web.
Have used this to bootstrap Debian and Fedora and NORD (home grown).
Based on the disk constraints you mention, it might help.

Rationale: I got tired of having to stage these files to minidisk
(or SFS) and then punch them as a separate step. Since they are
commonly available on the web, and would be using a URL anyway,
it seemed to make sense to cut to the chase and go URL to spool.
Works.

You'll need the following ...

   http://ltroth1.casita.net/nord/curl.rexx
   http://ltroth1.casita.net/nord/nordauto.exec
   http://ltroth1.casita.net/nord/sample.nordauto

Tailor the last one, rename it to match your VM ID.

The downside is that some of the hosting sites are s-l-o-w.
(So I might should add an option "hold a copy for re-use".)
But today it's just URL-to-punch.

Let me correct myself. 

What I found was a full version of kernel.img and initrd.img for Red Hat 7.1. 
What I am looking for is a bootstrap version of kernel.img and initrd.img for 
Red Hat 7.1. Therefore, they are small enough to be uploaded to LNXMAINT.192.
