Klaus,

Is this a fresh install of CentOS 6.2? i386 or 64bit?

It seems like the yum install doesn't like the current kernel version your running.

can you post your kernel version

uname -r

[scottwilkerson]

You appear to have a somewhat different than standard kernel.

If you edit the file 0-yum and change the following line (3):

Code: Select all

dist=$(uname -r | sed 's/.*\.\(el[0-9]\+\).*/\1/')
to
dist=$"el6"

Additionally, on a clean 6.2 you should run the following

Code: Select all

yum install curl wget -y

then try to run ./fullinstall again

Dear Yancy & Scott!

uname -r returns the following:

[root@h1997468 ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-028stab091.2

Then I tried the ideas from scott:

The "yum install curl wget -y" completed successfully.

But with the replacement of "e16" which still leads to the error message that this OS relase is not supported.

I therefore commented the following lines in the script 0-yum out:

#case "$dist" in
# el5 | el6)
# :
# ;;
# *)
# echo "$dist is not currently supported. Please use CentOS or RHEL versions 5 or 6 instead." >&2
# exit 1
#esac

This leads to the following output in the install.log. Any ideas whats wrong?

Do my recommendation above but it is el6 NOT e16

That is el like elephant.

Many thanks for the clarification, copy/paste should have been the better solution for me in this case!

The installation continues but stops many steps later. Here is the install.log. Can you please check again, many tx in advance!

[scottwilkerson]

not sure why it isn't installing RPMforge...Try this

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
curl -L -O http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
rm rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm

Then a fullinstall again...
