HI, I think I found the root cause. Running the anaconda-yum through strace I found that the webserver was returning a Forbidden error, then checking the lighttpd.conf differences I saw that in the WR image, the user and group fields weren't set. In our /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf we have: ## change uid to <uid> (default: don't care) server.username = "www" ## change uid to <uid> (default: don't care) server.groupname = "wrs_protected" However on WR image, these are not set. Commenting this lines unblocks the installer. I'm still not sure on what changed, new package version, some puppet recipe or another thing. Even more weird, why these files are different between ISOs. -Erich On 9/12/18, 3:53 PM, "Young, Ken" <Ken.Young@windriver.com> wrote: Erich, One correction below: we are using a Wind River version of the installer (I am confusing this thread with another thread). This is the installer we shipped Titanium Cloud Release 5. This begs the question: what installer were you using before the changes to the kernel? /KenY On 2018-09-12, 4:36 PM, "Young, Ken" <Ken.Young@windriver.com> wrote: Erich, A couple of data points on our side. For our builds, we are using stock CentOS installer for 7.4. These are unchanged and we have not seen this issue on our side. Have you isolated when you made the changes to the installer? Is it the same time you started seeing this error? Does it make sense to revert to the stock installer while we get to the bottom of this issue to continue sanity?

Not sure if this is the first package that is requested. - From the anaconda shell I can see the http://pxecontroller/ serving the files and the repodata seems to be updated there. I installed yum manually and I was able to install python2-qpid package, (and any other available). - The content of the pxe-network-installer package is not the same, WR squashfs.img file has the kernel 3.10.0-693.2.2 but ours has 3.10.0- 862.6.3. We regenerate those files when the kernel was upgraded. (maybe this matches with the date where the issue started to arise..) So, my guess now is that the problem could be caused by the pxe- network-installer package. We create those files with the update- network-installer script. That's the same used in WR to generate these files? I'll keep diging in the generation of these files to see if there is any problem. -Erich On Tue, 2018-09-11 at 20:03 +0000, Lara, Cesar wrote: > I just wanted to make sure that we are able to reproduce the issue > regardless of the build environment. > > AFAIK CentOS 7.5 upgrade is a different issue/thread, but at the end > we can fine tune a process in which we are in the same conditions to > be able to replicate errors in any given build environment. > > Regards > Cesar Lara > > > -----Original Message----- > From: McKenna, Jason [mailto:Jason.McKenna@windriver.com] > Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2018 2:02 PM > To: Lara, Cesar <cesar.lara@intel.com>; Alonso, Juan Carlos <juan.car > los.alonso@intel.com>; Khalil, Ghada <Ghada.Khalil@windriver.com>; > Martinez Monroy, Elio <elio.martinez.monroy@intel.com>; Jones, Bruce > E <bruce.e.jones@intel.com>; Cabrales, Ada <ada.cabrales@intel.com>; > starlingx-discuss@lists.starlingx.io; Thebeau, Michel <Michel.Thebeau > @windriver.com>; Young, Ken <Ken.Young@windriver.com>; Little, Scott > <Scott.Little@windriver.com> > Subject: RE: [ Test ] Sanity results - summary posted > > Hi Cesar, > > Would you elaborate on what differences you'd expect to see in an > empty mirror populated by the download tool, compared to an existing > mirror which was updated by the download tool? > > The mirror tools were written specifically to contain multiple > versions of packages.
