[SOLVED] Revisor error

ashash · #1 1st August 2010, 08:59 AM

I want to build a custom installation CD from Fedora 12.
So I'm using revisor, and select "CD set". After selecting the packages that I want, and clicking "Forward", when it shows an error message

Code:

Got an error from /usr/bin/xsltproc (return code 6)

I use a local repository. Total size of my selected package is less than 100 MB. In fact I select only the kernel-PAE package and let the revisor to find other needed packages, which are totally 114 packages.
here is my kickstart file:

Code:

#platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T
#version=F12
# Firewall configuration
firewall --disabled
# Install OS instead of upgrade
install
# Root password
rootpw --iscrypted ****************
# System authorization information
auth  --useshadow  --passalgo=md5
# Use graphical install
graphical
firstboot --disable
# System keyboard
keyboard us
# System language
lang en_US
# SELinux configuration
selinux --disabled
# Installation logging level
logging --level=info
# Use CDROM installation media
cdrom
part / --size=16384
#192.168.20.14
# System timezone
timezone  *****************
# System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all

and here is the changed part of configuration file:

Code:

[fedora]
name=Fedora 12 - i386
baseurl=file:///home/livecd/Packages
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

I can make a live CD without error.

If I change the repository to one exists in the Fedora 12 DVD the error won't occur and creation work while continue until another error:

Code:

Got an error from /usr/lib/revisor/scripts//F11-buildinstall (return code 1)

This repository's (Fedora's DVD) packages are grouped into categories such as base system, administration, ... as you know. But the repository that I created, using createrepo command, was not grouped, how can I do this, because I am thinking that this the reason of the error.

The Fedora's DVD does not contain the syslinux and anaconda-runtime as I know these are needed.

Using the repodata folder that exists in Fedora's DVD, I created a repository that its packages are grouped.
I removed the line "part / --size=16384" from kickstart file.

I found that the F12-buildinstall script exits at this line

Code:

yumdownloader -c $yumconf anaconda || exit 1

I add some codes before the

Code:

if [ -z "$yumconf" ]; then

codes that I added

Code:

yumconf=$(mktemp ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/yum.conf.XXXXXX)
    cat > $yumconf <<EOF
[main]
cachedir=$CACHEDIR
keepcache=0
gpgcheck=0
plugins=0
reposdir=
tsflags=nodocs

[anacondarepo]
name=anaconda repo
baseurl=$REPO
enabled=1
EOF

These are just copy and paste of the codes within the if statement.

Then I ran the revisor and I chose the kernel package and syslinux and anaconda.
This time the no error was occurred and I had the CD at the end.

But I don't know what the problem really is.

Finally I found the problem and the solution!

I change the anaconda section of revisor-f12-i386.conf to

Code:

[anaconda-updates]
name=Fedora Unity Anaconda Updates for Fedora 12
baseurl=file:///home/livecd/Packages
#baseurl=http://www.kanarip.com/anaconda/f12/i386/
enabled=1

Then I tried again and got the error again.

In F12-buildinstall script there exists some codes

Code:

repoquery -c $yumconf anaconda

and

Code:

yumdownloader -c $yumconf anaconda

where in my case the content of yumconf was "/etc/revisor/conf.d/revisor-f12-i386.conf".

The script tries to rum these commands but it failed because of the "update" repository was enabled and it tries to retrieve repmod.xml from it but it couldn't. Simply, I change the enable value of it to 0.

Code:

[updates]
name=Fedora 12 - i386 - Updates
baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/12/i386/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f12&arch=i386
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

Now I have no errors and I can make CDs easily. So, I need no changes in the script, unlike the way that I used before, and told in previous post.

Thanks

Previously I told that I think anaconda and syslinux packages must be selected, but I was wrong, there is no need to select them and this is no required to create CD set, but syslinux must be selected in live CD creation.

I have another problem. Now I want to make an installation DVD. But I got the previous error

Code:

Got an error from /usr/lib/revisor/scripts/F12-buildinstall (return code 1)

I know, it exits at this line in the F12-buildinstall script

Code:

$UPD_INSTROOT $DEBUGSTR $NOGRSTR --arch $BUILDARCH $UPDATES --imgdir $TREEDIR/install $yumconf || die "upd-instroot failed"

But i don't know why, Have you any idea?

I tried it on another machine and it was successful. I think something has corrupted on the machine.
