Kickstart help
Hey all, I have sort of an odd request for you today in regards to Kickstart configuration. I have recently created a kickstart configuration file to better standardize the configuration aspect of my server installations. I am having one issue and that is distributing a script (yum-check) via the kickstart file (in %post section). Parts of the script get written to the correct file

kickstart - how do I specify I20_block driver
Hi, I have alot of kickstart and scripting going on as I provision lots of machines, and every now and then I run into a pesky machine or three that's still got that Adeptec zero-channel RAID card sitting on the board. Normally I like to rip it our and throw something more robust in, but if it's a cache machine or whatever, I leave it in. It makes my kickstart file useless until I

Kickstart with multiple eth devices
I have a Dell server that has two built-in ethernet devices. When I kickstart the machine, they are correctly identified as eth0 and eth1 (correctly meaning they correspond to the physical device ports 1 and 2). I need a third one and want that to come up as eth2. After adding the hardware, kickstart now fails because for some reason it goes through a rename process where it makes the newly added

Kickstart setup
Is there a way to use kickstart to boot a machine into a manual setup process? Basically what I'm getting to is this, the machine doesn't not have a CD drive in it (nor can I add one), but I can boot it via kickstart. The install media is on the network. What I'd like to do is boot this machine up and rather than have kickstart do everything for me as far as installing the OS and

Problem creating volgroups with kickstart installations (on xen)
I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00".

Problem with "additional" submenus
Hello all, First off, thanks for the great work. I have recently added "more submenus" to a functioning advanced menu that only had one "submenu off of the main menu before" The addition of the new submenus has caused the main menu to not function correctly and I have been pouring over the code for several weeks and I just cannot see the error that I have introduced. This

creating a floppy image from a linux file
Hi, I am still trying to get kick-start centos in my vmware5 because pxe cannot find the pxe server. I do not control the dhcp or pxe server. I have both my kickstart file and my iso image for centos6.5 on my vmware datastore, but am trying to run my kickstart file from VMware guest. Can I tell the command line to run from the datastore in VMWare? Or must I convert my kickstart file to a

virt-install HVM with url and kickstart?
I have a kickstart file created that works great for installing CentOS on PVM''s and now I want to use it for HVM''s as well. The problem is that when I attempt to run the install, it seems to ignore the kickstart and starts prompting me for all the things I already have specified in the kickstart. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Here is the command im using to get things

Kickstarting several *different* setups
I'm currently using kickstart for installing new servers and have run into the following scenario: all the machines will have the same basic setup of packages, however they will each be configured for a specific task. For example, some will be mail-serving machines and won't need things like a web or mySQL server installed. Others will be web servers and do need those packages. So my

kickstarting with rails routing problem
I''ve rewritten my kickstart cgi in rails with DB acces to the host list and the testing is perfect. I can send the macaddress in the HTTPrequest Header, rails looks up the macaddr in the machine db and spits back out a kickstart file for the machine.. however in real world usage what I get is a request for http://server//kickstarts/kickme which rails fails with 192.168.20.176 - -

custom kernel for Centos 5 kickstart?
Hi, Has any one tried to merge a custom kernel into vmlinuz/initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart? Or similar Linux distribution? I am rebuilding a custom kernel from stock kernel source to build some hardware modules into static form, so that the hardware detection sequence can be altered in a hard way. Quick examples are: tg3 drivers will be loaded before e1000, 3w-9xxx be loaded before

PXE boot, Kickstart NFS install and %include...
I was just wondering how (or indeed if) people use the %include directive in Kickstart configuration files when building systems via NFS. I've been trying to modularise our Kickstart files a little to make things more readable, having generic defaults and role specific stuff split out into separate configs. I've tried this configuration... [root at archive kickstart]# cat

CentOS-4.3 Kickstart 'Boot Failed'
Hello, I'm trying to setup a CentOS-4.3 kickstart. When vmlinuz is loading, a message appears "Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue." I am kickstarting via a USB flash drive. From the i386 ISO image #1, I am using vmlinuz from the isolinux directory. I have grabbed the vmlinuz file from a couple different mirrors just in case the one I had originally

It works now -- RE: trying to run sshd daemon in kickstart environment
Hi, Thanks a lot for so many helpful responses. The fix is pretty straight: just mount /dev/pts again at the chrooted %post environment where my original sshd fires up from. One command 'Mount -t devpts -o rw,gid=5,mode=620 devpts /dev/pts' or just a bare 'mount /dev/pts' command fix the problem since the devpts entry is in fstab already. I also hacked image stage2.img to

trying to kickstart a vm guest from my datastore
I have a new ESXi server (5.x), and trying to load some VM guests on there. I have the guests configured, but when I try and boot from ISO image, the graphics are so bad it is futile. No worries I normally use kickstart anyways. Because the ESXi (on the same network as my physical servers) cannot talk to the PXE server. But works fine on the network (I can ssh/scp in and out of the ESXi
