#19 issues building rh62 with umlbuilder1.10
(On a rh62 host, with 2.2.19, using umlbuilder1.10)
Trying to use umlbuilder to build rh62 images, I
noticed a few issues along the way:
* There's no mount binary in the install filesystem, so
pretty much the rest of phase 2 fails horribly. Fixed
by adding the "mount" package to the profile for
Redhat62, which seems to work fine.
* Whilst installing bash, something (postinstall
script?) can't find libtermcap - this is either a
dependency ordering bug, or termcap is needed in
installfs - seems harmless though, so far
rpm --root /mnt -i --force --nodeps bash-1.14.7-22.i386.rpm
/bin/sh: error in loading shared libraries:
libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
execution of script failed
* When pointing at my snapshot of RH6.2, I initially
got a python traceback and an error saying that
pciutils depended on 'kernel', but that I had multiple
kernel rpms and had to choose one. (kernel-smp,
kernel-BOOT etc.) I moved all but the plain i386 kernel
out of the directory and started again. Would be nice
to be able to pick a kernel from the command line, or
to specify a default in the profile and have it deal
with this.
* When I boot the new machine, I don't get a console
prompt in the shell where I ran './control start' - I
do get a warning from init:
Starting keytable [ OK ]
Starting sendmail: [ OK ]
Starting console mouse services: (no mouse is configured)
Starting linuxconf [ OK ]
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
I think this is because I'm not running under X, so the
tty can't be opened as an xterm.
I tried ./control start con=pty con0=fd:0,fd:1
to drop the xterms, but I still didn't get a console -
just the init warning. I also thought it might be
because I was using 2.4.18uml on a RH6.2 image, so I
tried devfs=nomount, but that didn't help either.
(If I find a solution, I'll add it here - meanwhile,
any suggestions?)

I haven't done much work on RH6.2 which is why
it doesn't work yet. I will fix it over the next
few days and issue a new release.
