https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437793 Summary: Rescue system does not include binutils for mkzimage Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: matt@genesi-usa.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Hi, Installing on a Pegasos G4 I got to the second stage of the installation process and since bootloader support is missing, I decided to go into the rescue system to run "mkzimage". I used a very simple boot line; boot scsi:0 inst32 rescue=http://powerpc.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss The rescue system is loaded instantly and I am dropped at a login prompt, then I promptly log in :) and try mkzimage; # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt # cd /mnt # mkzimage --vmlinux vmlinux --initrd initrd --output zImage-`/sbin/get_kernel_version vmlinux` && ln -sf zImage-`/sbin/get_kernel_version vmlinux` zImage I get an error back saying "strip" is not found, a quick check reveals that none of binutils or the required tools for running mkzimage are present even though mkzimage is properly installed. -- 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.
