Hello, I'm doing an unattended CentOS 5.3 install in a virtual machine vmware. I'm redirecting output to a serial console because production boxes won't have monitors. I'm getting to the point of doing the post installation then the box freezes. The only command i have in %post is yum -y update. I'm not getting no output. Suggestions appreciated. In the commands section reboot is explicitly called so that at the end of the install the vm will reboot. Thanks. Dave.

Suggestions appreciated.the kickstart mailing list archives are full of info on how to do that.

Hello, I'm configuring the addresses for the network interface statically so i was under the impression name resolution would work. For the gpg key import i did an rpm --import /etc/pki/ i can't remember the rest of this path though i checked it on a running system. I'm still getting a freeze. Thanks. Dave.
