Sony Vaio VX88, currently running MDK 9.0 with 2.4.20-2mdk kernel for
ACPI support.
combo CDRW/DVD drive is at /mnt/disk.
as root, cd /mnt/disk &
./live_update produces:
gmessage
Mandrake Linux live upgrade
Unable to find Mandrake Linux Installation Cd-Rom in the first
drive.
Abort
The script looks like it would work if I moved my mount point to
/mnt/cdrom, but since this device isn't a cdrom and there was clearly an
effort to support other options via distrib=`pwd`, I think I should
report the problem.
Reboot with CD in of course fails because the installer can't mount the
firewire CDRW/DVD. Kernel messages show that it recognizes okay and
tries to do the right thing, but doesn't have an sbp2 module to install.
This is fixable via burning a new El Torito disk with the network.img as
documented here (http://www.monkeynoodle.org/comp/vaio), but I really
don't feel like dealing right now.
Okay, so I symlinked /mnt/disk to /mnt/cdrom and ran live_update again,
still no soap. So I manually
cd Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/
./live_install2 (not live_install as the live_update script says).
and the result is:
[root@chupacabra perl-install]# ./live_install2
