Hi, I am struggling with kickstart. What I want to achieve is a reinstall, but some data partitions should survive the install, i.e. they should not be formatted. With a single disk this works, here is the relevant part from the kickstart file (I shortened the name of the volume group) ... zerombr clearpart --none --initlabel part /boot --fstype="xfs" --label=boot --onpart=vda1 part

I have 2 questions dealing with 2 different kickstart files. 1) my kickstart sections for RAID disk setup and kickstart reports it cannot find sda. Why is that. sda is there and works. clearpart --all --initlabel part raid.01 --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --onpart=sda1 --size=20000 part swap --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap"

Hey, I solved my "The installation source given by device ['sdb2'] could not be found". Apparently ignoredisk is so strong it not only ignores the disks to be partitioned but also the disks holding the installation source... Now I ran into: ? In interactive step cleardiskssel, can't continue In anaconda.log I saw: ? step installtype does not exist ? step confirminstall

I have a kickstart file with the following partitioning directives: part /boot --fstype ext3 --onpart=sda1 part pv.100000 --onpart=sda2 --noformat volgroup vol0 pv.100000 --noformat logvol / --vgname=vol0 --name=lvol1 --useexisting --fstype=ext4 logvol /tmp --vgname=vol0 --name=lvol2 --useexisting --fstype=ext4 logvol swap --vgname=vol0 --name=lvol3 --useexisting logvol /data --vgname=vol0

Hi: First - pxelinux works great - got it up and running with few problems. However - I ran into a snag, I am assuming I have a configuration issue. Here are the details. Using: syslinux-1.75 dhcp-3.0pl1 tftp-hpa-0.29 A lot of what I have done is from: http://frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/diskless dhcpd.conf: # DHCP configuration file for DHCP ISC 3.0 ddns-update-style

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

Hello. In my case I can successfully boot up my Thinkpad X32, but the same configuration doesn't work for my desktop computer with Intel network card, with Intel Boot Agent 2.2 DHCP server is 10.0.0.1, tftpd (used tftp-hpa) runs on 10.0.0.32. netstat told me the daemon listen to 69 UDP port just fine. running tftp in commandline also shows it works (retrieve pxelinux.0 less then 1 second).

That is what I thought, but just to clarify: I am using static dhcp hosts in the dhcpd.conf and our network config. is similar to this: 3 subnets 192.168.15.0/24 192.168.16.0/24 192.168.17.0/24 dhcpd.conf ### Global Settings for DHCP Services ### option domain-name="dom.com"; default-lease-time 900; max-lease-time 1800; ddns-update-style none; authoritative; allow bootp; allow

Hi- On the pxelinux web page here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php Mr. Anvin says the following: " PXELINUX does not support MTFTP, and I have no immediate plans of doing so. It is of course possible to use MTFTP for the initial boot, if you have such a setup. MTFTP server setup is beyond the scope of this document. " I am curious as to the possibility of 'mtftp for the

Hiya, Just joined the list and started using pxelinux. Very cool product!!! I searched the, 8+ MB, archives looking for multicast entries. I know that the pxelinux page says that the support of mtftp in pxelinux isn't in the works but I'm not sure how old/relavant that comment is. I have noticied some comments from H.P.A. describing the difficulties in doing MTFTP. Are there any plans to

Sorry for top-posting but my webmail forces me to. I added -W to the APPEND line as suggested but I'm still getting the same result: Booting... Altiris, inc.

Gene, I found a document from IBM that explains why it didn't like Vendor-Class-Identifier option I was using "PXEClient" was causing EFI boot rooms to dummy spit, that's very useful, that combined with RTFMing the PXE specs 3.0-3.2 might solve my problem if I keep at it. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21247032 Even the PXELinux docs suggest encapsulating
