Hi folks, I am having a problem installing oscar for the first time. I followed the installation guide pretty close, but at the point where I typed "oscar-config --bootstrap" it got upset.
Here's what I did in nutshell. I got ubuntu 8.0.4 installed on the head and got both eht0 and eth1 configured as described. Then followed what's on chapter 3 of the guide. In my case, 3.3.2: I added deb http://bison.csm.ornl.gov/repos/debian-4-i386/ etch / to /etc/apt/sources.list. Issued: aptitude update And apt-get install oscar Both of which ended with exit status of 0. Then, I typed: oscr-config --supported-distros Which returned: ubuntu-8-x86_64 ubuntu-8-i386 debian-4-x86_64 debian-4-i386 redhat-el-5-x86_64 redhat-el-5-i386 centos-5-x86_64 centos-5-i386 I was a bit surprised because the line I added to /etc/apt/sources.list did not say ubuntu-anything. It said debian-4-i386. Then I issued: oscar-config --setup-distro ubunto-8-i386 which again finished with exit status of 0. Then it was time for fatal moment: oscar-config --bootstrap returned with exit status of 9. Here are barfing lines: ERROR: Impossible to get the default repository for ubuntu-804-i386 at /usr/share/perl5/OSCAR/Bootstrap.pm line 391 ERROR: Impossible to generate the default OSCAR url file (ubuntu-804-i386) at /usr/share/perl5/OSCAR/Bootstrap.pm line 391 ERROR: Impossible to generate default url files in /tftpboot at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 93 ERROR: Impossible to complete stage 0 of the bootstrap. at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 95 main::bootstrap() called at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 331 ERROR: Impossible to bootstrap OSCAR at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 332. I looked at the file Bootstrap.pm. Lines 391 thru 394 read: if (OSCAR::PackagePath::generate_default_urlfiles ($distro_id) == -1) { carp "ERROR: Impossible to generate default url files in /tftpboot"; return undef; } There are only 2 files under /tftpboot that are regular file as opposed to directory or whatever. They are: /tftpboot/distro/.ubuntu-8-i386.url And /tftpboot/oscar/debian-8-i386.url The first one (minus comments) look like: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/+hardy+main+universe+multiverse And second: http://bear.csm.ornl.gov/repos/debian-4-i386/+etch+/ I don't know perl well enough to judge if it is upset because of what's in these files or what's not in these at all. I am thinking maybe the thing to do is to fix the line I added to /etc/apt/sources.list file OR reissuing oscar-config --setup-distro line with debian-4-i386 (instead of ubuntu-8-i386). Can somebody please tell me if I am on the right track or about to commit mortal error? Also, if I am to do this, what are the things I must undo before I do so? Obviously I need to reedit sources.list file if I am to do the first option, but what else? I would appreciate your sharing thoughts with me. Thank you.
