Howdy, Was wondering if anyone on the list has successfully created a kickstart cd. I get the thing burnt, looks good, I can browse all the files, but when I actually boot from it I can't get it to admit the ks.cfg exists. I *have* been successful with kickstart over http; just can't seem to make it happen from the cd. Pointers appreciated, I've been mostly looking at the

I downloaded CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso but I haven't used Centos before and I've haven't used a -bin-DVD.iso before,every attempt so far to burn one has produced coasters,what do I do to get an image. Thanks david

I just got a Dell Dimension e521 (AMD 64 x2, nVidia MCP51 chipset) and so far it has been fine. Today I tried to burn some CD-R and DVD-R disks and have been able to do nothing but make coasters. The drive is a TSST TS-H653a (Samsung OEM) and does have the current firmware. Playing back data, audio, and video disks work just fine, but recording is a different matter. The drive shows up as

I tried to use cdrom in domU linux pv (Linux Mint 11 based on Natty). With ''/mnt/vm/iso/test.iso,raw,xvdb,ro,cdrom'', Mint sees it as internal disk (not cdrom) and only administrators can mount it. I tried also ''/dev/scd0,raw,xvdb,ro,cdrom'' does the same thing. Is possible use cdrom on linux domU pv full working where also normal user can mount it without

Has anyone implemented a "virtual cdrom" facility as offered on windows? That is CD images are cached & compressed on hard disk and shared across a network. See: http://www.winmag.com/library/1996/1196/11r24a.htm I have not found any news of a Unix solution. I would like to offer one on a Linux server to Windows clients. It should not be hard to implement with Samba... Thanks

Hi,all how to set ''extra'' parameter of xen configuration file? I found several format in this parameter, such as: extra = "text ks=nfs:192.168.1.254:/disk1/yum/centos5/ks.xen.centos5.txt" or extra = "headless ip=dhcp method=nfs:129.158.218.44:/mnt lang=en_US keymap=us ksdevice=eth0" Is there a specification to show how to edit this parameter, and to

I''m using Xen 3.1.0 on Debian etch, kernel 2.6.18-4-xen-amd64. One of the guests runs Windows XP. I am trying to install an application (Autodesk Inventor) that spans two DVDs.

So right now I have installed k3b on this notebook. I am using my Storix DVD/CDRW usb drive. I can read cds with it. Cannot burn CDs. First k3b suggests slowing down (from 8x to 4x). Then use TAO. Then it gave up. So I try cdrecord directly. -checkdrive finds some interesting things. Got to close the drive manually; cdrecord says it can't. then try a cdrecord -v dev=dev/scd0 sample.iso

Hi All, I'm trying to figure out where the inittab is for a pxeboot/kickstart installation so that I can disable virtual terminals that allow for interactive input such as CTRL+ALT+F2. I've looked in the /etc directories for the pxeboot initrd as well as the stage2 and minstg2 files. Am I missing something grossly obvious here? -- James A. Peltier Systems Analyst (FASNet),

Hello, I'm working on a project which automates creation of EC2 AMI images. To do this, you must use a running EC2 instance to mount an image file in a chroot jail. My problem is that I want to create an AMI that looks exactly like a minimal (nothing selected) install from the CentOS ISO image, but the "stage2" image [1] file is much more "minimal" than that. e.g., it

Hello, I posted a question over at xenproject.org but it was recommended that I send out a message here for help. My post there: http://www.xenproject.org/help/questions-and-answers/vanilla-pv-centos-guest-via-kickstart-centos-6-6,-xen-4-4.html The TL;DR is: Everything I've found to kickstart a new vanilla rhel/centos guest points to specifying a kernel & and initrd- for RHEL/Centos 5.

I was wondering, where is the format and options of files like /usr/share/system-config-netboot/pxelinux.cfg/default from system-config-netboot-cmd described? There are plenty of PXE tutorials with examples out there, but nothing that looks like actual documentation.

Hello everybody I would like to build a bootable CD from my running SuSE 7.3 Kernel 2.4.10. The goal is to have a prebuilt system on CD which would install everything from a compressed image on the same CD, some kind of an emergency or initial setup CD. So I startet with an directory called root_tree, placed the isolinux directory and the binaries there. I copied the initrd from the /boot

I'm trying to use menu.c32 to boot different kickstart files. The problem I have is regardless of what menu item I select, it always uses the client.cfg (default entry) even if I select one of the others. I have removed the DEFAULT from that entry and it still always uses the ckient.cfg kickstart file Any ideas. Thanks, Mike Jarka default menu.c32 prompt 0 timeout 300 MENU TITLE PXE Boot
