When I use my kickstart file (which works on 5.1 x86_64) with 5.2 I get the following error. I put my kickstart file at the end. Do I have something incomaptible in the file? jerry -------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/network.py", line 341, in lookupHostname ret = isys.pumpNetDevice(dev.get('device'),

I am trying to a install Centos 5.1 32-bit Xen HVM DomU onto a Centos 5.1 64bit DomU with the default xen installed and the kickstart hangs at random points during the install process. Sometimes retrieving the image, sometimes formatting the filesystem, sometimes installing the packages,etc. I tried upgrading to xen 3.2 and encounter the same problem before rebuilding back to stock Centos 5.1

I'm trying to kickstart a Centos 4.1 system with the minimum set of packages. I have no use for ypbind so I'm trying to prevent from being installed, but kickstart/anaconda always insist on its installation (complaining that the package is missing). This is the %packages section of my ks file so far: %packages #-@ dialup kernel grub e2fsprogs lvm2 -slocate -bluez-utils -bluez-bluefw

Hello, I've been trying to kickstart a install centos from a USB memory stick. Everything with that is working fine, but I seem to be having a problem with the ks.cfg file. When I boot the install media from the usb drive, the the boot prompt I type linux ks=hd:/dev/uba1/ks.cfg Then I peek at the logs and it even says * getting kickstart file * getting kickstart file from harddrive *

I am asking this here, that although a kickstart question, may have something to do with the Centos install? I took my Anaconda-ks.cfg from my system, turned it into a ks.cfg and did the install. Everything SEEMS ok, but why? First the partitioning information: ks.cfg supplied: clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part / --fstype ext3 --start=14

Using CentOS 5.1, though with a few hours work I could update to 5.2.. I can install to SAN with a single path no problem but I'd like to be able to use dm-multipath. From the kickstart docs it seems this is supported but there is no information as to what the various options mean http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html -- multipath (optional)

Hi all, I am using kickstart to install CentOS 8. Course I started with my kickstart from 7. Some packages are not found on the kickstart install (not present on the DVD I guess) like: ImageMagick sox libogg-devel libssh2-devel So again - I know they are not present on the DVD but they are present. What is the Kickstart trick to say %packages if not present - ATTEMPT to load later with yum ???

Hi All, I am having problems with a kickstart install of CentOS 8 When I try to do a completely automated install using PXE/UEFI it get to the point where it reads the kickstart config file. Then I see the following message "kickstart install Started cancel waiting for multipath siblings for nvme0n1" This is what I have in the kickstart file # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr #

The 5.3 upgrade broke the kickstart procedures for my xen virtual machines. They are installed via http. 1. The installer sets up the timezone interactively even though it is specified in the kickstart file. Not a big deal, though. 2. The installer hangs unpredictably when installing selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-203.el5.noarch.rpm. Performing a dozen or so installs, sometimes the

Hello all, I've been digging around on this for a few days and I have not come up with a solution. I have a Compaq ProLiant DL580 (G1, the old tan Compaq) with 4 x 700MHz P-III CPUs and 11GB of memory. I've loaded CentOS 5.5 with Virtualization (Xen) + KVM and patched up to current (full KS packages file list at the end). When it boots, Xen only detects a single CPU as shown in the xm

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

Hi, I am trying to get my kickstart file that worked under 5.1 to work under 5.2 centos x86_64. This is the error that I get. On the screen it says Exception occured and gives me the option to save it. This is that file. I dont see any odd that would cause it to crash. Can anyone help. My kickstart file is in the mix below. Seems to be related to network, my line seems fine (I think) for

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
