Is anybody else having problems with CentOS 5 not loading the usb drivers for kickstart installations? I'm passing "linux ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg," but I get a message saying it can't find the ks.cfg file and I should enter another path. I use the exact same boot options with CentOS 4 without any problems. What am I missing with CentOS 5? Thanks for any tips. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.

Thanks for any tips.I'm not sure, but can it be that your USB-Stick is now sdc1, because CentOS5 uses the new libata which uses the SCSI-stack, so hda is now sda and so on.

Upon receiving the 'can't get the ks file' message I removed & then reinserted the usb drive and this caused it to be re-detected properly. At this time it may also help to switch to a different screen (ALT+CTRL+F[1..6]) and see the device under which it is recognised i.e. /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 etc Yiorgos
