hi @zet809 , would you please take a look at this?

[whowutwut]

Assigned to @neo954 This issue occurs when running code changed by PR #2333

[zet809]

I need to rebuild xcat-genesis-base to include those libraries.

[whowutwut]

Is this something that we have looked into potentially using containers to help simplify the re-build process of the dependencies?

[zet809]

No, for genesis-base-ppc64, I was using my CN which had been installed Fedora23 before.

[neo954]

Tested xCAT-genesis-base-ppc64-2.13.2-snap201702150049.noarch on a PowerVM LPAR. And get the following error message

[xCAT Genesis running on (none) /]# ntp-wait                                   Unexpected first line <System error>

[neo954]

Anyway, the ntp-wait can be run in the genesis now. We still need to solve the network problem for PowerVM LPAR, which need linux kernel module ibmveth. It is another problem.

[neo954]

@zet809, Please continue working on rebuild xCAT-genesis-base-ppc64 and xCAT-genesis-base-x86_64 with ...

• Use CentOS 7.3 as the base Linux distro, and
• Include all the Linux kernel modules that CentOS 7.3 shipped.

[whowutwut]

@zet809 @neo954 we have issue #2258 to track this. If we think it's higher priority, we should probably move it up in the backlog and see if someone can work on it.

[zet809]

The whole perl library had been included in xcat-genesis-base-2.13.2 build available at https://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/xcat-dep/xCAT-genesis-base-ppc64-2.13.2-snap201702150049.noarch.rpm. @neo954 If you have verified, will you pls close this defect? Thx!

[zet809]

This issue can be fixed with the genesis-base mentioned above, I had verified it, so close this defect.
