-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andree,
Further to my promises to run another test at work and report back, here is the breakdown It is in the call to mindi where the whole thing falls over > Calling MINDI to create boot+data disks Your boot loader is LILO and > it boots from /dev/hda /home/tmp.mondo.4420/tmp.mondo.31723 Mindi > failed to create your boot+data disks. ---promptpopup---1--- Fatal > error.

If not, please recompile your > kernel. Your Linux distro is broken. ---promptpopup---Q--- [OK] --- > --> I have slightly modified the script here to show the image file it is trying to mount as well as the mountpoint. There seems to be two problems here: 1. The mount point does not exist > einstein:/home/mondo.scratch.9854/mondo.scratch.10587/images# mount > -t ext2 -o loop mindi-data-1.img > /home/tmp.mondo.4420/tmp.mondo.31723/mindilinux/23557/mountpoint.23557 > mount: mount point > /home/tmp.mondo.4420/tmp.mondo.31723/mindilinux/23557/mountpoint.23557 > does not exist In fact nothing exists inside the mindilinux directory > einstein:~# ls -al /home/tmp.mondo.4420/tmp.mondo.31723/mindilinux/ > total 12 > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-02-27 11:24 . > drwx------ 4 root staff 8192 2006-02-27 11:24 .. 2. Even when one tries to mount the image on a valid directory, it fails > einstein:/home/mondo.scratch.9854/mondo.scratch.10587/images# mount -t ext2 > -o loop mindi-data-1.img /cdrom/ > mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, > missing codepage or other error > In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try > dmesg | tail or so dmesg | tail produces > VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop0. > VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop0. I attach the appropriate log file, but I'm aware that although this started as a mondo problem, this particular problem is mindi related, sorry :-(. The logs also show a failure to insmod loop, strangely. But this > einstein:~# insmod loop > insmod: can't read 'loop': No such file or directory > einstein:~# lsmod | grep loop > loop 13704 0 > einstein:~# shows that the module is loaded at least.
