Hi, I am using Centos 4.4,on which I created a kickstart file using kickstart configurator ,then I created a bootable cd using mkisofs command and then booted the system using this cdrom.The cd managed to boot and found the kickstart file in the cd but fail to continue with this error message "CD not found.The centos 4.4 server cd cd could not found in any of your cdrom drives".I also found these messages FAT:bogus number of reserved sectors VFS:can not find valid FAT file system on dev hdc Unable to load NLS charset utf8 Can you please advice the way forward Regards, Edwin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Pierre, Thanks for your reply it really help as i did not have that file(discinfo) in my cd,i have included it and now i can boot but stop at disc partitioning setup asking me to choose some options which i have already done them in kickstart file. Can you advice the way forward Regards Edwin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
