[Bug 440923] New: many RPMs not installable on EEPC 900A via NFS
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440923 Summary: many RPMs not installable on EEPC 900A via NFS Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: herbert@graeber-clan.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer During Installation of openSUSE 11.1 Beta4 many packages cannot be installed. I have tried several installations and the packages that cannot be installed are random. Looks like the network driver for the ATL1e NIC is not reliable. Retrying the installation of these RPMs does not help. Only choosing "Ignore" continues the installation. If some important Paket cannot be installed, the installation aborts later. e.g. if the bootloader is influenced. Installation on another machine from the same NFS directory has no problems. It would be nice if choosing "Retry" would copy the package again on unreliable network connections. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please attach y2logs. See
http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST#I_reported_a_YaST2_bug.2C_and_now_I_am_aske... http://en.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#What_does_that_NEEDINFO_bug_status_...
In general, we need YaST logs for almost all YaST bug reports; it's very rare that we can do anything useful without them.
Yes, I know, that you need y2logs, but I was not able to provide them, because the system was unbootable and an eeepc is somewhat limited with its boot capabilities. Meanwhile I have installed successfully, so the log file is not available anymore.
Also, please elaborate what error message you got. What makes you so sure the package download was what failed? Did you get errors about bad RPM signatures?
Yes, exactly, the message said, the signature is wrong.
And of course the usual suspects: Did you try "memtest" to check if the hardware is 100% reliable? Anything else suspicious in /var/log/messages?
Memtest runs without errors for over an hour. Before trying openSUSE 11.1 Beta4 I had openSUSE 11.0 installed with an atl1e driver from the BuildService and had similar problems using the package manager, but i haven't written a bug report about this, because the driver wasn't an official one. That's the reaon, why I believe the network driver is the source of the problem. But it could be the SSD, too. My next step will be to do another installation on a SDHC card, to reproduce the problem and provide a log file, if it happens again. This may rule out the SSD as the source of the problem, too. If it happens again, I will try to copy the rpm using the console and look if the retry will work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

missing /usr/sbin/update-alternatives missing d /usr/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8.gz
Installing the package anew from console and retrying from yast doesn't work, too, because perl is missing and so on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's not clear why this is a kernel bug. I install over NFS all the time. It seems more likely that the download is corrupt.
I have done approx. a dozen installs on the EEEPC 900A (the machine where the problem occurs) and another older notebook from the same installation source. Installations on the latter never failed. On the EEEPC sometimes a single RPM failed with checksum error, which I can ignore and installed latter successfully, and in one case the installation of an image failed, where it wasn't possible to recover, because several packages havent' been installed correctly. I have run a long memory check, without an error and I tried two different SSDs as installation destination. I have done new test, and copied several GB of data via NFS from another machine to the EEEPC and checked these files using md5sum and got errors, too. The same test done using WLAN shows no problem. So I think the source of the Problem is the ATL1e nic or it's driver. So it maybe a kernel problem or problem of may hardware. What test can I do to verify these components? Two thing I observed are: - Retry in YaST or zypper doesn't doesn't a new download of the package, but tries to install the already damged RPM again. - There seems to be no checksum test of the images used during installation. Maybe this are two other bug reports... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
