You are right, when I use console 2 to see where is /var/nm2 I found it is actually /mnt/sysimage/var/nm2, but it's empty. And when I "ls /var/nm2", I got no such file or directory error message. My question is why Redhat 9.0 post installation allows me to do initdb successfully but Fedora Core 4 cannot? jing --- Mike McGrath <mmcgrath@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > > [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf > Of jing han > > Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 9:29 AM > > To: For users of Fedora Core releases > > Subject: RE: During Fedora Core 4 kickstart post > > installation,postgresql command initdb doesn't > work > > > > Sure, my config is: > > > > > > #Generated by Kickstart Configurator > > #platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T > > > > #System language > > lang en_US > > #Language modules to install > > langsupport zh_CN en_CA fr_CA --default=en_US > #System > > keyboard keyboard us #System mouse mouse #Root > password > > rootpw --iscrypted > $1$7Ib1jQg6$hY./MIJpsiZxYqY/p5kxW/ > > #Reboot after installation > > reboot > > #Use text mode install > > text > > #Install OS instead of upgrade > > install > > #Use CDROM installation media > > cdrom > > #System bootloader configuration > > bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda > --append="rhgb quiet" > > #Clear the Master Boot Record > > zerombr yes > > #Partition clearing information > > clearpart --all --initlabel > > #Disk partitioning information > > part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 250 > > part swap --size 512 > > part / --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sda > #System > > authorization infomation auth --useshadow > --enablemd5 > > #Firewall configuration firewall --enabled --http > #SELinux > > configuration selinux --disabled > > > > #XWindows configuration information > > xconfig --depth=32 --resolution=1024x768 > > --defaultdesktop=GNOME --startxonboot #Package > install > > information %packages --resolvedeps @ everything @ > > > language-support kernel-smp-devel kernel-smp grub > e2fsprogs > > > > %post > > > > #Create system users > > /usr/sbin/adduser user > > # > > ## > > ### > > > ############################################################## > > ################## > > # Creating expect script to set passwords on > accounts echo > > '#!/usr/bin/expect' > passwd.expect echo 'set user > [lindex > > $argv 0]' >> passwd.expect echo 'set newpass > [lindex $argv > > 1]' >> passwd.expect echo 'spawn /usr/bin/passwd > $user' >> > > passwd.expect echo 'expect word:' >> passwd.expect > echo > > 'sleep 1' >> passwd.expect echo 'send $newpass\r' > >> > > passwd.expect echo 'expect word:' >> passwd.expect > echo > > 'sleep 1' >> passwd.expect echo 'send $newpass\r' > >> > > passwd.expect echo 'expect success:' >> > passwd.expect # ## > > ### > > > ############################################################## > > ################## > > chmod a+x passwd.expect > > ./passwd.expect user 12345 > > rm -Rf passwd.expect > > > > ...... > > ...... > > > > # > > ## > > ### > > > ############################################################## > > ################## > > #install postgresql database > > su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/initdb -D /var/nm2" > > ......................... > > > > > > after finishing installation and computer reboot, > I found > > user account is created but passwd is not created. > > > > I also found that /var/nm2 directory is empty > after reboot, > > which means initdb doesn't work and files under > /var/nm2 not > > generated by initdb. > > > > > > > > jing > > > > > > --- Mike McGrath <mmcgrath@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > > From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > > > > [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On > Behalf > > > Of jing han > > > > Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 7:22 AM > > > > To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > > > Subject: During Fedora Core 4 kickstart post > > installation,postgresql > > > > command initdb doesn't > > > work > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > I've got a problem with Fedora Core 4 > kickstart > > > post > > > > installation.
