I am trying to use kickstart for automated builds from a DVD. Some of the machines have DVD's drives and some have CDRom drives only. With the CDRom only machines I would like to plug in an external DVD drive via USB and use this to kickstart. The DVD only machines work correctly with a isolinux.cfg as label test kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192

Hello List, Due to a problem with CentOS 5 and one of our firewalls I am having to disable tcp window scaling to stop network connections grinding to a halt. I am also trying to Kickstart CentOS 5 machines through the firewall so need to disable window scaling at install time. I have added to the kickstart file %pre echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling But the install still hangs

Hi all, Someone played with kickstart bonding with centos 6.4 ? CentOS 6.4, as upstream now support ifcae bonding in kickstart network section. I've an issue with configuring a second bonding iface in kicstart on CentOS 6.4. The first bonding (bond0) works as espected but the second is not configured during installation. I've a 6 nic server (two for "puclic" network, two for

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

Hi, I am currently struggling with the right way to configure a bonding device via kickstart (via PXE). I am installing servers which have "eno" network interfaces. Instead of the expected bonding device with two active slaves (bonding mode is balance-alb), I get a bonding device with only one active slave and an independent, non-bonded network device. Also the bonding device

Hello All, I seem to have run into a bug with the new --bridgeslaves=<INTERFACE> option. It would seem that if I tell the bridge device to use a virtual interface (like bond0) rather than a physical interface (em1/em2) that kickstart completely barfs on it. I have provided my network section below which works fine as long as i don't enable all the bridge content. When the

Hi all, I am trying to automate the provisioning of a few VM, dom0 CentOS5 - domU CentOS4.5, the installation goes well but it completely ignores the %post bit in the kickstart: # Kickstart file for a generic VM install url --url http://server/mrepo/centos4-x86_64/disc1 cmdline skipx reboot # Partition information ..... # General system config bootloader --location=mbr keyboard uk lang

I was just wondering how (or indeed if) people use the %include directive in Kickstart configuration files when building systems via NFS. I've been trying to modularise our Kickstart files a little to make things more readable, having generic defaults and role specific stuff split out into separate configs. I've tried this configuration... [root at archive kickstart]# cat

Hi, all. I use this kickstart file to install CentOS 5.2 (both i386 and x86_64), but i can't config NICs and hostname during installation, what's wrong with it? Thanks very much. ----<- kickstart file ----<---- # System authorization information #auth --useshadow --enablemd5 # System keyboard #keyboard us # System language #lang en_US # Installation logging level #logging

I am using kickstart to automate installs. working nicely. I now have a box with 2 NIC cards and I am getting prompted for which nick to use. I have a line like: network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --hostname tmp.msgnet.com in my kickstart. This line does not seem to be enough to say install with eth0 even though there may be an eth1. How do I tell kickstart to not prompt for which network

Hi, We dont run DHCP in our environment where I build our servers, is it required to get a first IP address to hit my kickstart server running on my xandros debian laptop? Just been a couple years since I last did some kickstart builds and I dont have system-config-kickstart running on a machine here in my home lab. I can turn on DHCP on my linux laptop perhaps, but just wanted to check in

Hi, I'm kickstarting a vm in ESXi 5.1. ks.cfg is on floppy, install media is ISO file. This works great as long as I don't add an additional repo, in our case it is vmware tools on one of our webservers. If I add the repo line, anaconda asks then for the used network card and indeed, switching to console the interfaces are still unconfigured. Chosing eth0 in gui continues the

Using a kickstart file that stops with a curses dialog "You have multiple network devices on this system. Which one do you want to install through?" The machine being configured with PXEboot has two ethernet interfaces. What's missing from the network entries below? I'd like this install to proceed without asking which ethernet interface. PXE begins the install with DHCP, so

hello there, I wonder if you could help me: I am trying to install 50 diskless servers using PXE / kickstart, it all starts well, DHCP server issues a dynamic address, tftp issues the kickstart file, the client starts reading the KS file but at some point anaconda brings up an unhandled exception related to Python when reading Comps.xml?? What is really unsettling is the fact that if I plug

Anyone know what's up w/ trying to install bind through kickstart? I am trying all variations of group installs, individual package installs and it just won't install, it either fails on the libs, the chroot pkg or whatever?

Hi. I'm installing CentOS 7 with Kickstart on a machine that has IPv6. The problem is that while it has an IPv6 address after installation it does not have the IPv6 gateway. I'm using NetworkManager and my network configuration is completely static, no autoconf or dhcpv6. My Kickstart configuration uses the following network configuration (actual values replaced but with the same
