V7-Common Install Problems 102, 304, cpio cannot execute
In version 7 there is a new set of error numbers for installation
issues. Since these can vary from system to system, it is difficult
to generate a list of what they mean.
This is provided to help solve some of the more common errors.
1. cpio: unable to execute
2. Install error 304
3. Install error 102 (:arXX) ENOENT
For all three of these errors, check to the following:
1. The ulimit must be set to 8 meg. To check this type: ulimit
and press return. This is usually set in 512 byte blocks. A value
of 16384 would be equivalent to 8 meg.
2. Make sure the user has entered a rewind and a NON-rewinding tape
device name during the installation. Make sure that the device
that they have specified as a non-rewinding tape device is really
a non-rewinding tape device. This may or may not be necessary, but
if they have specified what appears to be the right device and you
are still seeing this error, it may be worth verifying. To do this,
put the tape in the drive, and type:
cpio -itv < /dev
on-rewinding-device
(the "t" in the cpio command forces cpio to list the contents of the
tape, it will not extract anything)
You should see a listing of the install files. Issue the exact same
command again. If this is a REWIND device, you will see the same
installation files again. If this is a NON-REWINDING tape device
then you will see a completely different set of files listed.
