Hi, I was under the impression RHEL had a gui kickstart configurator? Does it exist in centos? If so what is the command? Thanks, DFU

I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00".

Hi, I have alot of kickstart and scripting going on as I provision lots of machines, and every now and then I run into a pesky machine or three that's still got that Adeptec zero-channel RAID card sitting on the board. Normally I like to rip it our and throw something more robust in, but if it's a cache machine or whatever, I leave it in. It makes my kickstart file useless until I

Is there a way to use kickstart to boot a machine into a manual setup process? Basically what I'm getting to is this, the machine doesn't not have a CD drive in it (nor can I add one), but I can boot it via kickstart. The install media is on the network. What I'd like to do is boot this machine up and rather than have kickstart do everything for me as far as installing the OS and

I have a new ESXi server (5.x), and trying to load some VM guests on there. I have the guests configured, but when I try and boot from ISO image, the graphics are so bad it is futile. No worries I normally use kickstart anyways. Because the ESXi (on the same network as my physical servers) cannot talk to the PXE server. But works fine on the network (I can ssh/scp in and out of the ESXi

Currently, I kickstart my machines over http to install CentOS 4.4 and then in a script called from %post do a "yum -y update" to install all the latest updates. Is there a way to set up the kickstart server so that I can do this all in one step? In other words, is there a "supported" way to roll in all the updates into the kickstart server? In case it matters, I

I have a kickstart file created that works great for installing CentOS on PVM''s and now I want to use it for HVM''s as well. The problem is that when I attempt to run the install, it seems to ignore the kickstart and starts prompting me for all the things I already have specified in the kickstart. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Here is the command im using to get things

Hi all, I am trying to find information on taking a DVD of centos 5.2 x86_64 and putting it AND my kickstart file on a USB8G thumbdrive. Note - I am not INSTALLING linux on the USB disk just trying to make installation media for it. I am not taking just the bootdisk.img file to make the USB bootable but the entire DVD content on the USB and my kickstart files. I'd like to just be able to

Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble with something and was wondering if anyone else has encountered this or knows what the problem is. I have one computer I would like to kickstart a centos 5.0 or 5.1 install. I have another computer which is the tftpboot server and contains the centos 5.0 and centos 5.1 install directories I wish to do the kickstart over nfs and my network is using MTU

Dear Friends, I have centos 6.2 64 bit os in my dell server. When I try to install centos or scientific linux using NFS so it is not working and getting me error = "unable to download kickstart file". My kickstart file configuration is : #platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T #version=DEVEL # Firewall configuration firewall --disabled # Install OS instead of upgrade install # Use NFS

Hello, I'm trying to setup a CentOS-4.3 kickstart. When vmlinuz is loading, a message appears "Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue." I am kickstarting via a USB flash drive. From the i386 ISO image #1, I am using vmlinuz from the isolinux directory. I have grabbed the vmlinuz file from a couple different mirrors just in case the one I had originally

Hello, all - I've been throwing the question around on the kickstart-list for the last few days here, and can't quite get ahold of things. Please, allow me to explain. I am in the process of making a custom CentOS/RHEL kickstart install. It works well right now; however, it's a hackjob, and I am not comfortable with it as of yet. For the past few days, I've even gone as far as

We have CentOS 6 manual installation working by PXE booting from a RHEL5.6 PXE/TFTP server. However, when we add a Kickstart file in the PXE configuration: kernel CentOS-6-i386/vmlinuz append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=CentOS-6-i386/initrd.img network ks=nfs:130.226.86.4:/u/rpm/kickstart/ks-centos-6-clean-i386.cfg then the CentOS 6 client install reports "Unable to download the

Hi I have a running kernel with the same kernel version of that in the kickstart that contains the Buslogic driver which would enable me to install a vmware client using kickstart. Is there an 'easy' way to take the initrd that contains the correct drivers and inject these into the initrd of the kickstart kernel? Or does anyone have a kickstart initrd available with the Buslogic

I'd like to automate the upgrade from CentOS 4.6 to 5.1 as much as possible. Since upgrades per se are not really recommended, I'm planning to do a kickstart installation. However, I want to leave one of the existing partitions (/scratch) untouched during the installation. Here is my current layout (LogVol00 is swap so not shown in the df output below): # df -hl

Hey all, I have sort of an odd request for you today in regards to Kickstart configuration. I have recently created a kickstart configuration file to better standardize the configuration aspect of my server installations. I am having one issue and that is distributing a script (yum-check) via the kickstart file (in %post section). Parts of the script get written to the correct file

I have a couple lines like: part / --ondisk=sda --fstype ext3 --size=20000 --asprimary part swap --ondisk=sda --size=4000 --asprimary part /home --ondisk=sda --fstype ext3 --size=1 --asprimary --grow in my kickstart file. Is there a way to have 1 kickstart file that works for hda and sda both??? So I would like to have 1 kickstart file that works for either a hda
