Hi! Last friday I upgraded my ALIX system from 6.0 to 6.2 using the PXE
boot method. In previous years I used an internal FTP server to perform
the upgrade, but for some reason this is not supported any more since a
couple of releases.
ftp support was removed from the installer, but you can place the same
files on an http/https server instead.
I mounted and published the ISO image using a
raspberrypi and NGINX (HTTP method). During the install process I hit
the following error 'unable to get a verified list of distribution
sets'(*). I couldn't find much help from google but after some time I
figured out that the install was looking for a file named index.txt,
that is not included in the ISO.
you want nearly all of the files from the release directory on a mirror,
you can skip install*.fs / install*.iso.
Maybe some of this information can be included to the install guide for
those of us doing a local HTTP upgrade, and also it would be great to
have the index.txt file included in the ISO.
you won't have the SHA256.sig to verify the files against the signify
signature in the iso either.
For the record, the kernel relinking (Relinking to create unique
kernel...) took about 14 minutes in my ALIX board and it takes about 2.5
minutes the library reordering during the boot process.
yes, it's terribly slow on machines with slow storage devices.
I tend to disable it on those (until I can justify replacing the
machine with something newer, which has other advantages too).
Hi! you mean that the library reordering can be disabled? care to share
how to do that? google didn't help...
Thanks for your comments.
