Ben,
Could you try a more thorough test of the rpms lists.
gpp-testrpms.sh -r /tmp/testinstall -l CE-rpm -i
This is with the newer gpp-testrpms.sh contained within
gpp-misc*i386.rpm which you can get from
http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/gpp-install/rpms/
The extra -i will actually install the rpms in /tmp/testinstall so you
need quite a bit of space there. Maybe you have a better location to
do this on the LCFG server. Depends on your partitions of course.
The error messages about mounting /share for instance at install
time are normall though do check the /var/log/messages file on
the LCFG server to see if there any errors then during any attemted
mounts.

Subject: Installation problems
Hello,
Here at UCL, Paul and I have been trying to install version 1.2.2 of the
EDG software, so far with no success. Can anyone cast any light on the
problem, given the following information:-
Running gpp-testrpms.sh on the LCFG server doesn't show up any problems
for the CE, SE or WN configurations.
The Worker Node seems to install OK, apart from not seeing the disk on
the
CE, but it's hard to check it on its own.
The CE and SE both fail and get stuck in single-user mode, with
apparently
only the root directory mounted, and that read-only. The last few
messages
(on the SE, but I think similar on the CE) are:
[INFO] update: installing bc-1.05a-5
[FAIL] update: rpmRunTransactions failed
LCFG object update: updaterpms failed [FAILED]
bash#
There are also some warnings or errors at the beginning of the
installation (just after typing "I" to install and "Y" to verify), but
similar messages also appear on the WN, which doesn't seem to fail.
Anyway, these are:
NFS: NFSv3 not supported
NFS: cannot create RPC transport.
nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
mkdir: cannot create directory `/share': Read-only file system
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
LCFG object nfsmount: Start [OK]
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
Making filesystem for / on /dev/hda2
...and so on.
Any help would be very gratefully received.
Cheers,
Ben
