Software :: RedHat Kickstart Post Fglrx Rpm Install Not Working
Feb 23, 2010
As the title says, I'm building a kickstart for a RedHat installation.I'm trying to incorporate the firegl driver rpm installation and its halfway working, not completly. What I've tried so far is to place the rpm in the --nochroot and in the normal chroot enviornment and neither one works. In the --nochroot, install it with rpm --root /mnt/sysimage/ and in the normal post i just do an rpm -ivh. In either case the fglrx folder is built within /lib/modules, however everything thats supposed to be installed never makes it to the newly installed root. I'm thinking that its actually getting installed to the installation / as opposed to the new /.

I'm having trouble trying to copy files from an nfs mounted remote machine during the the post install with kickstart.
My post install:

ln -s /mnt/foo/downloads /downloads
sed -i '$ afoo:/downloads /mnt/foo/downloads nfs exec,dev,suid,rw,bg,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 1 1' /etc/fstab

I am trying to automate installs of Red Hat 5.5 x86. I have a FAT32 partition on my disk at /dev/sda1 that I want to mount to /cdrv folder of the installed OS and I use this line in the %post section for this:"mount -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000 /dev/sda1 /cdrv"
For some reason, this does not mount the partition.onfirm using "fdisk -l>>/post.log" that /dev/sda1 is FAT32 and is the Boot partition. I can create any folders or files using the %post section but just this mounting doesnt seem to work.

I put a script into the post installation of kickstart and the log showed that the yum that is started in the script had to wait for yum to finish. I understand I can (and will) put this package in the packages section, but isn't it bad that yum is still finishing up when the post installation is initialized? Has anyone else noticed this?

I want to design a kickstart file that creates an unattended installation (I've passed that part). After it installs, I want it to automatically read the device's MAC address and change the hostname to match the MAC address with the separators removed. (For example if the MAC address is 01-02-03-04-05-06, the prompt after login should read "root@010203040506")
I know this is entered in the "%post" section of the kickstart file, and I know I'm supposed to use the "cut" and "sed" commands, but I have no idea what I'm doing or how to do it. script so I can copy/paste it into my kickstart file?

Looking at other threads i'm not the only one with this problem. after installing the proprietary driver, graphics are slow & 3D appears not to be working. fglrxinfo gives this:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO
OpenGL version string: 3.3.10666 Compatibility Profile Context
No mention of "glx" or "direct rendering" as in previous versions. sudo aticonfig --initial -f gives this: Uninitialised file found, configuring. Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check whether driver is installed correctly Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx Apparently driver not installed correctly. Also there's no fglrx-modialases (or something) in synaptic thats been needed before.

I'm running openSUSE 11.4 64 bit, KDE 4.7 with latest fglrx drivers. My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6 with a ATi Mobility Radeon HD5650M.
The drivers themselves work fine, I get quite a good acceleration and I can choose between discrete and dedicated graphics just fine, but when I plug in the HDMI cable from my TV it just doesn't detect it. It works fine on Windows version of ATi CCC, but when I open CCC in openSUSE I only see my notebook's monitor, not a sign of the HDMI cable plugged in.

I have been searching EVERYWHERE for a solution to my problem, I have been sent to the red-bean "answer" so many times I think I know it word by word.Here is my problem, I run a WHM/cPanel server and want to make a repository (/home/<user>/svn) update a working copy (/home/<user>/public_html/dev) to work on a dev. subdomain on each site we have.I have the the SVN part working but can not get anything about the post commit to work. I even simplified it to the point that all the /hooks/post-commit file contained was.

Here is my xorg.conf when I attempt to use fglrx:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI RADEON HD4850"
# Driver "ati"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection
Also, doing /etc/init.d/start/ gdm3 says Starting GNOME display manager: gdm3 but it doesn't do anything. I tried pressing ctrl+f1 all the way to ctrl+f12 and nothing. What does work however is sudo gdm3 (with the "ati"/"radeon" driver --- nothing works at all with fglrx).
I am trying to get fglrx working because I want to fix this compiz issue I've been having here which could be related to the shortcomings of the "ati"/"radeon" driver: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=40991&p=312577#p312577

For quite a long time now, I haven't even needed to re-install video drivers most of the time. However, ever since version 2.6.36-0.dmz.4, they haven't been. I booted my system after installing that kernel, re-installed the video drivers, and when that didn't work, completely removed them and re-installed them, and it still didn't work. Well, I was told that the installation was successful but even after restarting it appeared that they weren't working. I installed 2.6.36-0.dmz.5 today and the same problem persists. I tried an older kernel version (2.6.36-4 something) and they worked fine.

I have a working Centos 5.4 (== Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4) kickstart installation working with pxe boot.I am now trying to do the same kickstart installation but from a SCSI harddrive on the hardware box itself.In other words, the system already has an older distribution on it, and it has a formatted LVM partition with free space. I expect to upload an initrd, vmlinux, ks.cfg at the top of this partition, edit the grub.conf with something like so:
grub.conf

I have not used Fedora in a long while (since version 5 I think).I am moving back to it for my new home server but there is something that is driving me completely crazy. Can you no longer do HDD installs from a ISO?I whipped out my old kickstart files and worked off of them and all seams to be OK but every time it says it is unable to find the install source.Here are the first two lines of my KS file:
Code:
install
harddrive --partition=sdb1 --dir=/linux_install/fedora/iso

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 from harddrive using a kickstart file. Kickstart file is read correctly, it contains the following 3 lines (+ additional config):
install
harddrive --partition=sda11 --dir=repos/CentOS/5.5/isos/i386
repo --name="CentOS-5.5 - Updates" --baseurl=hd:sda11:repos/CentOS/5.5/updates/i386
I've downloaded both CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso and CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1of7.iso, but anaconda (the installer) asks: - What partition and directory on that partition holds the CD (iso9660) images for CentOS? ...
VT3 gives these messages:
INFO: partition /dev/sda11 selected
INFO: mounting device sda11 for hard drive install
INFO: mntloop loop7 on /tmp/loopimage as /tmp/hdimage/repos/CentOS/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1of7.iso fd is 12

we can't get the clients in our lab to do a kickstart install. we're doing the install by booting from the Centos 5.3 net install cd and anaconda starts, but terminates abnormally reporting a SIGSEGV fault. Interestingly, attempts at doing an install from a CD and without the network connection results in this error:
X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:6001. Temporary failure in name resolution.

When i installed 11.4 i selected gnome as my desktop. Now i want to give KDE (suse´s default desktop) a shot. Witch packages do i have to install to have a FULL KDE enviroment as if i would have selected KDE when i installed suse? Not just the desktop, but kde apps, themes, etc. Or even better. Is there a "Meta package" that installs everything?

On a fresh install (tried two new installs now) I'm getting an error when I try to go out to the update repositories after the install. I'm getting a "failed to download /suse/setup/descr/packages.DU.gz from [URL] It seems to get about 48% and just hangs there. This happens both if I try downloading updates during the install or if I try doing an on-line update after the system is up.
