I am trying to boot a grub entry for CentOS 8
menuentry "Server Install CentOS 8" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz noverifyssl
kshttps://devgeis.LayeredSolutionsInc.com:443/kickstart/ks_update_to_server8.cfg
biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 ksdevice=eth0 ip=192.168.1.13
gateway=192.168.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.
0 nameserver=192.168.1.1 inst.sshd sshd=1
initrd /boot/initrd.img
}
When booting it says that "ip=192.168.1.3" Sorry unknown value.
This works on CentOS 7. How do I specify the IP/SN/GW for CentOS kernel
line?
Thanks,
Jerry

The syntax change I think landed in Fedora right after RHEL-6 and was in RHEL-7 from the beginning. As the web page goes over, there are several different syntaxes which can be used for different environments. [At this point i have been having to hack that syntax for 7 years so I have a severe case of Stockholm syndrome.] -- Stephen J Smoogen.
