Re: [OSR-users] rpms for ocfs2+rhel5

[Dan M. <dan...@or...>]

OK, I've finished the howto, trying to reasonably substitute
where necessary for the fact that I am going to boot the
osr as a xen guest (running 2.6.28 as the guest kernel).

Note that I am running the howto in a Xen EL5 guest booted
with 2.6.28 and with an ocfs2 filesystem mounted in the
guest as a second disk "/extra"... so wherever I see
/mnt/newroot, I am substituting /extra.

All seems to go smoothly until I get to the last step...
the mkinitrd complains loudly and lengthy.  It can't find
a list of rpms and skips:
- comoonics-cs-xml
- kmod-gfs
- gfs-utils
- cman
- openais
- lvm2-cluster
- OpenIPMI-tools
- xen
- xen-libs
- libvirt

Then the /boot disk fills and I get cpio errors.  It appears
that an intird...img.tmp file is created that is 78MB in size.

Oh dear... it also looks like the grub part of the howto has
changed /boot/grub on my running system, not on the /extra
disk?!  And now I can't boot that guest anymore at all!

When I have a chance, I will restart with a fresh EL5u2
guest and document every step from the beginning, but
if you see any obvious solutions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Dan
