Description Quentin Jackson 2008-05-11 06:34:11 UTC

I have attempted to install onto 4x1TB disks with software RAID.  I have configured /boot as non-raided.  I get a message saying:

Subprocess failed.  Error RPM failed: warning: ./suse/x86_64/libmpcdec5-1.2.6-5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9c800aca
rpmdb: /mnt/var/lib/rpm/Filemd5s: index using db3 - Invalid arcument (22)
rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Filemd5s: file size not a multiple of the pagesize
error: %post(libmpcdec5-1.2.6-5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255

I also get the message repeated virtually identical underneath.  I am installing from a USB DVD drive if that makes any difference (I doubt it) and can successfully install onto another machine with this same DVD disc.

If I ignore this, the problem is repeated continuously for other files.

Comment 2 Quentin Jackson 2008-05-11 06:37:24 UTC

When cancelling it prompts to run automatic debugger which passes the first three tests then fails trying to chroot.

FYI, I turned off the image install mode and that seems to have resolved the problem.  Perhaps something needs to be set to disable this when running RAID, but I guess that's up to you guys to figure out.  I had the RAID using the default 128k cluster/block sizes (or whatever they're called) I'm picking it's to do with that and image install.

Then again, now it won't get past Grub loading stage 2 so I guess something's not right.

Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2008-05-13 09:30:44 UTC

please attach your yast logs + dmesg output, perhaps there is something to be seen. I wouldn't know what image install would break with RAID

Please reopen the bug if you can provide the needed information, thanks.
