Re: SLES8 Install Problems
Hi, Ralph Despite those apparent error messages, your mount might have been successful. I got similar messages on a test I'm doing, and yet when I issued "mount" the share actually showed up and was usable.

The problem is likely not with the kernel. Neither the standard mount program nor the busybox one support mounting smbfs shares; they require a separate mount.smbfs program. I do not think this is present in the Debian installer. This works fine using a fully installed system with the smbfs package installed, but to mount an smbfs filesystem in the installer will require some tweaking. -- - mdz

It looks like mount is interpreting "10.201.18.9" as a hostname with domain. You might also need to add this host to /etc/hosts or /etc/lmhosts if it can't be found by the mount command. Another possible mistake might be an incorrect domain or workgroup name in /etc/samba/smb.conf or a case mismatch of the share name. Does "smbclient -L " work? Regards, Stefan Gybas
Re: SLES8 Install Problems
Noll, did you read the subject? I can't find anything about Debian!
So it looks like your kernel hasn't support for smbfs.
Check smbfs in /proc/filesystems (what was included in the kernel) an
check file /lib/modules/YOUR-KERNEL-VERSION/kernel/fs/smbfs/smbfs.o - not
included, but presents as module.
If you can't find this, recompile your kernel.

WAR-FTPD is a server that will work with a Linux install, unlike microsoft

can be found at http://www.jgaa.com/ Now I can install Linux from my window

Linux doesn't know how to handle a filesystemc called "ftp." This doesn't surprise me as I don't either, though someone did write such a driver for OS/2 some years ago.

Okay I finally got an installation to work with a swap file. Here is what I did. 200 - Virtual disk swap file - I use the CMSDDRXA technique to setup the swap signature. 201 - Minidisk - CMS Formatted and Reserved Start installation. When you get to the DASD screen I entered dasd=200-201.Load Module. It will load the correct dasd modules even though they will not show up in the list. Select ABORT. You will be prompted that you have not selected any dasd, just continue on. When you get the Selection Screen - Select Change/Partitions. Select dasda1 - your swap file. In the box where it says "Do not Format" - there is a dropdown box. Make sure that you change this to 82-SWAP. It will then fill in SWAP for the mount point. For dasdb1 - I selected Format - and chose reiserfs for the file system. The put /for the mount point. Every things worked perfectly from then on.

WAR-FTPD is a server that will work with a Linux install, unlike microsoft
ftp servers which only have a subset of the FTP command set. It is free
and
can be found at http://www.jgaa.com/ Now I can install Linux from my window
workstation w/o having to bother the UNIX group to mount my CD on one of
their FTP servers.
Chapter 5, page 23 (Making the installation data available via FTP)
describes the need for it. It works well, in fact I'm replacing my
current
FTP server with WAR-FTPD.

Re: SLES8 Install Problems
Either you 'd install ftpfs (lufs)http://freshmeat.net/releases/108584/
into your zvmlinx5 machine (I don't know if it works),
or you should install your packages via rpm (extracted from rpm man page):
(...omissis...)
rpm {-F|--freshen} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
This will upgrade packages, but only if an earlier version
currently
exists. The PACKAGE_FILE may be specified as an ftp or http
URL, in
which case the package will be downloaded before being
installed. See
FTP/HTTP OPTIONS for information on rpm's internal ftp and http
client
support.

Re: SLES8 Install Problems
I'd recommend an install without SWAP to start...and use an entire 3390
and see what happens.
If that works then backdown on your disk space and see what the "default"
install really needs.
I used 2.6gb and had no problemsbut I think it needs even less than
that.
When I used swap and minidisks...I had similar problems...so I switched to
NO SWAP and
DEDICATED a 3390 to SLES8 and my install worked.
I also noticed that when I did not have enough disk space for "default"
install (during on of my many install attempts)
but I had enough for minimalSLES8 proceeded with the minimal install
and did not sufficiently warn me that
I was getting a MINIMAL installdidn't like that surprise too much...

Thanks Mark,
I just tried that, (and another 100 variations) and after I select the
mount points (swap and / ) and it says it sees 2.2G of dasd, when I enter
'next' and it tries the installation again, I still get the same msg about
no proposal and not enough room for an install. ARG I've tried
formatting out

I'm fighting the same thing right now. I did dasdfmt and fdasd manually and then what I finally did was to press ABORT on the dasd screen and the process continues on without any problem. Once you get to the Installation Settings screen you select Change and you can partition your dasd and select your swap device by entering swap for the mount point (very intuitive, NOT).

Re: SLES8 Install Problems
I had the same problem until i chose installation over ssh. It seems like if you chose another type of installation (X or VNC) in a middle of proccess program lost connection to media.

I'm doing an FTP install which works perfectly until it's time to select the software package. I followed the partitioning instructions for DASD from the cd docs and the many hints from this lists archives (dasdfmt and fdasd from an out-of-install putty session before the accept). All the mounts look good. Then I get the infamous messages on the Installation Settings screen about Not enough disk space even for a minimal installation! and the *ERROR: No proposal. How do I set the proposal? I go into the Software Selection screen and all that is displayed is the detailed selection option. When I go into that option there are no files displayed at all. Anybody have any ideas? Below are some command results for dasd. I have dasda mounted as swap, dasdb as /usr, dasdc as /. inst-sys:/ # cat proc/dasd/devices 0200(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 36000 blocks, 140 MB 0201(ECKD) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : active at blocksize: 4096, 558000 blocks, 2179 MB 0202(ECKD) at ( 94: 8) is dasdc : active at blocksize: 4096, 600840 blocks, 2347 MB inst-sys:/ # mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) shmfs on / type shm (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw) virtual-proc-filesystem on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/loop0 on /mounts/instsys type cramfs (ro) inst-sys:/ # df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 127776 20640107136 17% / shmfs 127776 20640107136 17% / /dev/loop0 85692 85692 0 100% /mounts/instsys Also on another note: the automated install parms. It works great except for the last input needed for: 1) X-Window 2) VNC (VNC-Client or Java enabled Browser) 3) ssh Choice:Which terminal do want to use? I can't find the appropriate parameter for this one. I tried the INST_SCREEN=ssh but to no avail. Anyone come up against this one?
