When installing DVD Build 603 on x86_64 I do get following error message:

    Failed to initialize the repository. Try again?

Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2007-08-01 08:04:48 UTC
this happens also on the CD build of x86_64, but is x86_64 specific

Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2007-08-01 08:11:56 UTC
I'm not sure yet what creates the 32bit patterns, but it obviously doesn't care for comments:

Original:
// filesystem(minix)
util-linux

Version on DVD:
//-32bit
filesystem(minix)-32bit
util-linux-32bit
Comment 5 Stanislav Visnovsky 2007-08-01 08:13:21 UTC
Anyway, a better error report would be more that welcome.
Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2007-08-01 08:50:55 UTC
ok, I fixed the shell script that generates the 32bit patterns to take comments into account.

I leave the bug open as Stano suggests - especially as we'll allow custom patterns in build service projects soonish

Comment 9 Nikolay Derkach 2007-08-02 12:36:48 UTC
so, fixed?
Comment 10 Michael Andres 2007-08-02 14:49:43 UTC
AFAIK fixed, but Stano wants to keep the bug open until the error reports are
improved too.
Comment 11 Felix Miata 2007-08-06 22:07:50 UTC
Same problem on http install from ftp-1.gwdg.de and mirrors.kernel.org, both of which seem to have had sync late yesterday.
Comment 12 Felix Miata 2007-08-06 22:15:32 UTC
Forgot to mention on tty3 that 404 error occurred on inst-source//part.info and on inst-source/driverupdate/file_0001, which I don't see on mirror. The behavior was slightly different on the two mirrors. On mirrors.kernel.org there was an extra window that opened stating "download failed: media exception". I tried 3rd time on carroll.cac.psu.edu and got behavior matching gwdg.
Comment 13 Felix Miata 2007-08-06 23:03:54 UTC
Also forgot to mention using i586.
Comment 14 Andreas Jaeger 2007-08-09 15:36:38 UTC
This looks to me like a different problem.  Can you provide some more details - after checking that it still fails with current factory?
Comment 15 Christoph Thiel 2007-08-09 15:51:04 UTC
I'v reproduced the problem locally -- attaching logs shortly.

Broken repo, pattern with a wrong revision.
Comment 18 Stephan Kulow 2007-08-09 16:32:16 UTC
great, now we got hijackers of that bug to make "better error reporting" INVALID - and reopening is pointless as it has 17 comments now and only one with a meaning ;(
