Hi,
I have a very strange problem when I am installing the ARM-Linux base
system. I am working in a Acorn RISC PC with a Strong ARM processor with
RISC OS 3.7. The base system and the RPMS packages are located at my
ADFS harddisc in the right subdir (RedHat/base and RedHat/RPMS). Now I
am trying to install. I only want to install the base systems, so I edit
the file comps. All entries after the whole Base entry I deleted. When
scanning available packages the installer find all packages for the base
system. The installer creates the ext2 partition (till this point all
run okay), but then it throw the following error message: cannot open
the file: /tmp/rhimage/RedHat/base/skeleton.cgz
With CTRL-ALT-F2 I looked in this directory and there was a file named
skeleton.c. Allright this must be correct because the RISC OS cannot
handle more than 10 characters per file name and all packages and so are
on the ADFS partition which is controlled by the RISC OS.
In the next install procedure (I started the installer again and jumped
form one install point to the next as I did it before) I avoid making a
ext2 filesystem. Then the installer work a little bit and interrupted
the procedure with the error message: Fatal error by opening RPM
Database. Well, at this point I have no ideas what I can do. The
install.log I found is empty and the last step the installer has done is
reading the rpmrc file. After that it says done and no further messages
appear in the console opening with CTRL-ALT-F3.
Does anybody know this problem or can help me to avoid this?
I send my comps file at the end of this messages. Maybe I forgot a rpm
