Thread: Manual creation of OS kit

Hi,

I have an installer node which is created using CentOS 5 32-bit distribution.
Its OS kit is generated automatically at the time of kusu install on the installer node.
Now I am trying to add a Fedora8 OS kit manually on the installer node so as to allow for multiple operating systems to be installed from the installer node.

Please find my buid kit file attached.

I am getting an error message as below.
----------------------------
"There are missing attributes for the package(s): ['ostype']
Please fix this and build again."
------------------------------
Could some one please help me out?

Could some one know what is the reason for this message?
Also if there is any documentation for generation of OS kit manually, please do inform me.

Thanks in advance,
Milind.

Milind,

You don't need to create an OS kit. You can add a new OS kit simply by passing the OS media to kitops.

For example, if you have downloaded the Fedora 8 ISO, you could simply type:

Code:

$ kitops -am /path/to/fedora-8.iso

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried with this option but I am getting below response,
------------------------------------
$ kitops -am /usr/src/test/fedora8.iso
No kits found. Nothing to do.
--------------------------------

The iso file is present at specified location and has all necessary permissions.
Could you please check where I am going wrong?

Thanks,
Milind

Hi,

There seems to be problem with the fedora8.iso file which I was using.
When I tried the kitops command for building Rhel kit, it worked without giving any error.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Milind

Currently, Fedora 8 us not supported. It will not be hard to support Fedora 8.
