You also forgot to say you're using my guide at http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/728 !!

Shame you didn't feel able to ask questions about the script on the site where you got it. We don't spam, you know: you can part with a valid email address and get precisely four emails from us in 3 months!

Although you've cut-and-pasted most of my rootprep.sh script, you don't seem to have done the sysctl -p bit which the original does. Presumably, that was just a bit of concision on your part?

I'd first suspect that your installation wasn't quite the same as mine: did your installation size get reported as 4,055MB or not? If not, we have a problem. And I suspect I know what it is, because you'll get these sorts of error if you're not using the operating system I documented to use! That article discussed using Centos 4.4 or OEL 4.4 -that is, Update 4 of the fourth version of those OSes. If you're using update 1, 2 or 3, you can run into this problem, the fix for which is to do an rpm -Uvh glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.9.i386.rpm (yup, that's the 32-bit version of the libraries, even on a 64-bit OS). But I'd recommend downloading afresh the correct release of the OS, if indeed that is the issue.

Apart from that, and since I know the installation works just fine otherwise I'd have documented workarounds for these sorts of issue, I'd suspect your installation software next: again, a fresh download might be in order. What number of blocks did you get reported when you unpacked the cpio? The original article tells you what answer you *should* have got.

Other than the above, I haven't a clue: if you use the same OS as me and select the same package groups as me and install the same libaio as me, the rules of deterministic software demand that we end up achieving the same outcome! I can only re-iterate that I document what happens to me, exactly and without missing out minor details like the whole thing blowing up! Received on Thu Nov 01 2007 - 06:10:17 CDT
