repos for latest updates in scientific linux are not working

2017-01-12 Thread Paul Myers
Hi 

Can you help with this? 

The rpm's in the latest repos (this week's updates) seem to be corrupt,
We have tested other mirrors containing these rpm's also which also
seems to have the same issue we are still investigating but these are
causing failures when when run kickstart downloads 

7.2/x86_64/os/Packages/pangomm-devel-2.34.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
7.2/x86_64/os/Packages/p11-kit-trust-0.20.7-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
7.2/x86_64/updates/security/pciutils-libs-3.5.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

There also appears to be a corrupt file in the 7.3 repo, although I have
not tested this as yet.
7.3/x86_64/os/Packages/pangomm-doc-2.34.0-3.el7.noarch.rpm

All files for 7.2 are the incorrect size and are dated November 2008.
The file for 7.3 is dated May 2014.  This affects syncs via rsync.  We
have tested against most repos and have got the same result.  The http
repos appear not to be affected. We are going to grab the rpm's from
Centos libraries which are looking ok

Thanks

Hi Stephan,


I had tested this yesterday and the files below were definitely
incorrect on the rsync repos


7.2/x86_64/os/Packages/pangomm-devel-2.34.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
7.2/x86_64/os/Packages/p11-kit-trust-0.20.7-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
7.2/x86_64/updates/security/pciutils-libs-3.5.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
7.3/x86_64/os/Packages/pangomm-doc-2.34.0-3.el7.noarch.rpm


I tested against a number of mirrors globally with the same result.  The
repos accessed via http seemed not to be affected until this morning
(London GMT) where both rsync and http repos show the same incorrect
file.  The mirrors I tested against were within Europe and the USA with
a few farther afield all returned the same.
I have within the last 2 hours connected via http to the ASNET-AM
(Academic Scientific Research Computer Network of Armenia) which now
shows the correct file.  Hopefully should now start to reflect with
other mirrors in due course.


As an example of what we were seeing go
to http://mirrors.200p-sf.sonic.net/scientific/7.2/x86_64/updates/security/.  
You will see the below.
pciutils-libs-3.5.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm11-Nov-2008 12:45
147K


Now go
to http://mirrors.200p-sf.sonic.net/scientific/7.2/x86_64/os/Packages/.
 You will see the below.
p11-kit-trust-0.20.7-3.el7.x86_64.rpm12-Nov-2008 08:43   14M
<——— Notice the file size here
pangomm-doc-2.34.0-3.el7.noarch.rpm 12-Nov-2008 08:43   203K




Now compare this to ASNET-AM (Academic Scientific Research Computer
Network of Armenia) http mirror at
http://mirrors.asnet.am/scientific/7x/x86_64/updates/security/.  You
will see the below.
pciutils-libs-3.5.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 2016-11-11 21:03
 45K


And finally http://mirrors.asnet.am/scientific/7x/x86_64/os/Packages/.
 You will see the below.
p11-kit-trust-0.20.7-3.el7.x86_64.rpm2015-03-09 17:13
 125K
pangomm-doc-2.34.0-3.el7.noarch.rpm 2014-05-14 17:46203K

Victor.

that's strange. On our (rsync) mirror, the 7.2/7.3 files in all cases you 
mention are actually hardlinked and thus identical. They verify just fine too.

Re: Need help Debuging boot

2017-02-16 Thread Paul Myers
Stack

Not sure this will help but heres my 10 pence worth

EDD being related to Disk drives this makes me wonder if the correct
firmware is being used but it did somehow eventually get around the
issue eventually - any way you can try say a different hard disk?

Can you boot a live disk on the machine with dare I say it another
distro ISO on usb or cd - I would try a full centos or redhat first then
try debian flavours and if not the ever last resort knoppix  if so maybe
there are drivers or settings you can try - this will aleviate the isue
if its the hard disk firmware causing the problem!

If the cd works try a different hard disk maybe
