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

Hi Folks: I am a NOOB and need some help and/or advice about debugging a domU VM boot problem in XCP 1.0 beta. I am trying to get my first VM installed over the network using XCP 1.0 beta. I am able to get to the VNC boot window but the installation process fails after a few minutes with this error: Unable to retrieve http://10.45.2.1//tcc/os/CentOS-5.5-x86_64/images/stage2.img

Hi, Any one know how the Centos 5 kickstart initrd.img was built? I'll be very appreciated if any light can be shed on this topic. The basic problem to be solved here is: how to build a custom vmlinuz+initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart with my own custom built kernel? I am not sure mkinitrd is the right tool for this purpose? If do, which are the modules I should include with

I've been using kickstart for a while now, but today I tried to kickstart a system and it's just not working at all. I can't figure out why it's hanging. I booted from the CentOS 4.5 CD #1 and typed "linux ks=http:// centosmirror/ks/sys20.cfg". If I check my web server's log, I can see that sys20.cfg was accessed. This file begins with the following

Quite simply, HOW? :) I have the pxeboot initrd.img from the RH 3.0 AS CD's. We need to put a new cciss.o driver from HP into this initrd.img. Unforunately, the modules in the pxeboot initrd.img we have are 2.4.21-4 and our new driver is compiled for 2.4.21-15, so we have to upgrade everything. I downloaded the kernel-BOOT-2.4.21-15 RPM and installed that, so I have all those drivers. My

This adds (basic) support for GRUB stage2 image files. Loading a stage2 image will probably give you a GRUB prompt, with GRUB's "root" set at "(hd0)" (ie, entire first disk). Maybe the "root" will differ in less common setups. (One can of course select another disk and/or partition with GRUB's "root" command.) This has only been tested with version

My daily AIDE report suggests Grub''s stage2 file has changed. Could I trouble you for your opinion about how concerned I should be and what to do if your concern is moderate or higher?

Grub Legacy stage2 will read the install_partition variable from memory address 0x8208. We only need to change the value at 0x820a to the correct partition number: -1: whole drive (default) 0-3: primary partitions 4-*: logical partitions Signed-off-by: Gert Hulselmans <gerth at zytor.com> --- com32/modules/chain.c | 13 ++++++++----- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 5

Hi, Any one have succeeded in firing up a sshd daemon when a machine is being kickstarted? I know VNC can be setup to minitor the kickstart process, but it is too limited and so I can not see the console and other screens with ALT+Fn keys. If sshd daemon can be setup at this stage, then we can remotely ssh into the being kickstarted client(s). and directly see what things happen during %pre,

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, This morning one of my servers (centos 4.5) refused to boot. The console shows a lopp message grub loading stage2... I've been able to boot from the install CD choosing the rescue option. I can chroot /mnt/sysimage with no problems and even started the services (network, mysql , httpd etc). How can I solve this? I've followed the manual (

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, Lately, I have been working on moving Debian & Ubuntu packages to a stage2 build. This means that, instead of shipping llvm-toolchain packages built with gcc, we are rebuilding everything a second time using the newly built clang. Now, when pushed to Debian, it caused some unexpected issues in particular with rust reported here:

Here is a patch that makes it possible to chainload GRUB2 core.img form chain.c32. It reuses the grub= parameter (used for chainloading GRUB Legacy stage2): - both loaded at 0x8000 - start execution at offset 0x200 (0x8200 in memory) GRUB2 allows to specify another "GRUB home dir" than the standard /boot/grub GRUB2 doesn't allow to change the configfile 'grub.cfg' name

Hi All, I am attempting to create a custom USB drive for kickstart install. I found this: 1. get the ISO file of CentOS 7 2. mount -o loop CentOS-7.0*.iso /mnt/ 3. mkdir -p /CentOS-7-ISO-respin/{CentOS-7-unpacked,CentOS-7-iso} 4. rsync -avz /mnt/ /CentOS-7-ISO-respin/RHEL-7-unpacked 5. put your kickstart file into

Hi I'm having a problem with setting up a kickstart environment based on CentOS 5.2 x86_64, on a Sun X2200 M2 server (both the server and the client in the kickstart environment are Sun X2200 M2 systems): the first attempt to load stage2.img fails with the error screen: "unable to retrieve http://192.168.11.10/source/images/stage2.img". Pressing the "OK" button brings up

I have a fleet of 2970s and we are upgrading the hardrives on the motherboard SATA ports (A/B not the PERC backplane) when a "detecting hardware" is performed the system crashes, reboots and gives an E1422 error code (useless video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhyMeUHJar4). We narrowed it down to a motherboard BIOS issue, if we remove the SSD or add noprobe to the kernel the
