Auto_inst not running post install

[Guest Ozblade]

I'm trying to automate the post install of Mandrake 9.2 for a support lab at my office. I'm not a scripting wizard, but here's what I'm trying to execute (some censorship is required...):

 

# install kernel source
mkdir /mnt/test
mount -t nfs -o nolock xxx.xxx.24.1:/linuxset/test /mnt/test
cd /mnt/test
cp kernel-source*.rpm .
rpm -Uvh kernel-source*.rpm
cd ..
umount /mnt/test

# find IP and host name
IP=`/mnt/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | cut -b 21-34`
export IP

MYHOST=`/mnt/usr/bin/nslookup -sil $IP | grep name | cut -b 34-`
export MYHOST

# Set static IP
NETWORK=`/bin/echo $IP | cut -d. -f 1,2,3`
export NETWORK
/bin/cat - > /mnt/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 << EOF
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=$IP
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=${NETWORK}.0
BROADCAST=${NETWORK}.255
GATEWAY=${NETWORK}.250
ONBOOT=yes
EOF

/bin/cat - > /mnt/etc/sysconfig/network << EOF
NETWORKING=yes
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
NISDOMAIN=dialogic.com
HOSTNAME=$MYHOST
EOF

# Install DIL software
mkdir /mnt/temploc

mount -t nfs -o nolock xxx.xxx.24.1:/linuxset /mnt/temploc
mv  /mnt/etc/rc.local  /mnt/tmp
cd /mnt/temploc/test
cp install_dil_sw.pl /mnt/tmp
cp rc.localman /mnt/etc/rc.local
cd /

umount /mnt/temploc

Now I've tried this a hundred ways, both directly in the 'postinstall' field, calling it as seperate script, like "bash <script>", etc. And the documentation isn't all that inspiring when it comes to post installalation examples. a modified version of this script is used for all my redhat builds. Any ideas?

A more pressing issue is that I cannot run ANY post install. Even a simple echo to a log doesn't function. I noticed the ddebug.log has no mention of the postInstall steps. Is this normal? here's my auto_inst.cfg:

 

#!/usr/bin/perl -cw

#

# Special file generated by ``drakautoinst''.

#

# You should check the syntax of this file before using it in an auto-install.

# You can do this with 'perl -cw auto_inst.cfg.pl' or by executing this file

# (note the '#!/usr/bin/perl -cw' on the first line).
