Redhat installer fails with LinuxPPC 1999 when installing over NFS
Trying to install LinuxPPC 1999, on a PowerMac 7200, over NFS. After entering all the IP and NFS details, the installer seems to hang. Jumping to another console, the following messages show a permissions problem with the NFS-mounted files: ... * calling mount(octopus-120:/install/AutoInstall/Binaries/Linux/redhat/redhat-5.0/ppc, /tmp/rhimage, nfs, -1058209791, 0x18f9e90) * method selection completed * writing network information to /tmp/ifcfg-eth0 * state saved to /tmp * error in exec of second stage loader :-( * error:Permission denied This NFS image was mirrored from linuxppc-R5-final/RedHat on one of the local sites. The problem is caused by the permissions of the files in the RedHat/instimage/usr/bin directory: % ls -l /install/AutoInstall/Binaries/Linux/redhat/redhat-5.0/ppc/RedHat/instimage/usr/bin total 7390 drwxr-xr-x 2 nigel nigel 512 Jul 8 16:29 . drwxr-xr-x 4 nigel nigel 512 Jul 8 16:24 .. -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 82152 May 19 10:38 ash -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 8976 May 19 10:38 badblocks -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 565976 May 19 10:39 bash lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 8 Jul 8 16:29 cat -> install2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 8 Jul 8 16:29 chmod -> install2 -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 27148 May 19 10:38 cp -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 17332 May 19 10:38 df -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 459248 May 19 10:38 e2fsck -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 70568 May 19 10:38 fdisk -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 12032 May 19 10:38 fsck -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 459248 May 19 10:38 fsck.ext2 -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 84164 May 19 10:38 grep -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 38020 May 19 10:38 ifconfig -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 746888 May 19 10:39 install2 -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 4325 Mar 11 08:25 ldd -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 14836 May 19 10:38 ln -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 35136 May 19 10:38 ls lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 8 Jul 8 16:29 lsmod -> install2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 8 Jul 8 16:29 mkdir -> install2 -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 18528 May 19 10:38 mke2fs lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 8 Jul 8 16:29 mknod -> install2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 8 Jul 8 16:29 mount -> install2 -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 72624 May 19 10:39 pdisk -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 21988 May 19 10:39 ping -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 14972 May 19 10:39 ps lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 8 Jul 8 16:29 rm -> install2 -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 37756 May 19 10:39 route -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 892396 May 19 10:39 rpm -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 130 Mar 30 00:47 runinstall2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 4 Jul 8 16:29 sh -> bash lrwxrwxrwx 1 nigel nigel 8 Jul 8 16:29 umount -> install2 -r--r--r-- 1 nigel nigel 8116 May 19 10:39 wc I think all of those files need to have a chmod +x
