kickstart ksdevice in centos6
I have a line in my kickstart file (ksdevice) # Network information network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on # Default network to boot ksdevice=eth0 # Auto reboot (to being next install faze) reboot However its still poping up and asking me eth0 or eth1 for install? Has this operation changed? Thanks, Jerry

Kickstart ksdevice question
...answer (I hope).? We routinely kickstart boxes to use for managing our customers RADIUS/DHCP configurations (along with other things).? We've had a C7 kickstart in place since I built one in May and are finally starting to roll it out for new installations.? But, I'm curious as to what ksdevice= actually does. With the C6 we routinely used ksdevice=eth0 since we ship boxes with two NICs and knew interface 1 was always eth0.? With C7 comes the interface naming convention changes and that's where questions have arisen about that option.? It's been set as ksdevice=eno1 since I kn...

Kickstart ksdevice question
Hello, ksdevice specifies which NIC to be used during the network install. The new naming conventions indeed make this more complicated than it needs to be. To go back to the old naming scheme (eth0, eth1 ...) just add this to boot parameters (kernel cmdline): biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 HTH Lucian -- Sent from...

Problems with x86_64 kickstart
...2.168.0.201 -> 192.168.0.7 TFTP Read Request, File: linux-install/CentOS4.3/x86_64/initrd.img, Transfer type: octet But then it never tries to get the ks.cfg. I am booting it with: label centos kernel CentOS4.3/x86_64/vmlinuz append initrd=CentOS4.3/x86_64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=7000 ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://192.168.0.7/network-install/ks.cfg.x86_64 (that last line should be all one line) in the /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/01-00-0c-29-14-3a-c5 config file which it tftp's so it should know that it needs to get the ks.cfg.x86_64 file. I have this same setup working for i38...

pxelinux macappend
Greetings all, Is there currently any mechanism in pxelinux the would send a mac address of the pxe booted interface through to the linux kernel much like ipappend can send the ip address? Kickstarting a system with multiple interfaces can be troublesome. ksdevice is helpful but only in some circumstances such as forcing eth0, but that doesn't always work since probe order changes depending on what kernel config you have. ksdevice=link is good, however we also have some systems that have one primary interface on the regular network and one private interf...

Totally unrelated, but this is the reason I love discussions like this getting into the archives. I had no idea this option existed and it just solved an annoying problems I've been trying to think how to solve for a...

Help with dracut install CentOS 8
...I was using this: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/dracut.cmdline.7.html So my grub entry consists menuentry "Install CentOS 8" { linux /boot/vmlinuz noverifyssl ks=https://something ip=192.168.1.3::192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0::eth0:on:192.168.1.1 biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 ksdevice=eth0 inst.sshd sshd=1 initrd /boot/initrd.img } This seems OK to me. But rebooting to start the install for CentOS 8 it just stops and says "system halted". the lines above that have no errors. .3 is the IP I want to use .1 is the GW and the Nameserver in this case.

Disable clear screen
Hi, Is it possible to disable the clear screen when loading syslinux ? Since the IBM BIOS on xSeries systems shows the MAC address of the onboard NICs, I would like to have them on screen when people do a kickstart fro mthe prompt using eg: ksdevice=<MAC address> I personally think that the clear screen is unwanted in most cases since people can add that to the boot message (ctrl-L) if they need it. If all the drivers in POST would do a clear screen, it would be very discomforting and even if syslinux is an exception (being the last...
