similar to: Modify kickstart initrd to add Buslogic driver

I've previously used includes in CentOS 4.4 and they worked fine. But in CentOS 5.5, trying to specify a driver disk via an include does not work. If I instead specify it directly, it loads fine. When it fails (because it can't see the disk drive - needs the driver disk to see the hard disk), in Console 2 I can see that /tmp/drvdisk exists and has the line I wrote to it. I see nothing

Hello, Is there some things removed from the kernel.org kernels before the get into xen-unstable? I was just about to compile a new dom0 kernel, and couldn''t find the option for Buslogic SCSI driver i xen-unstable kernel synced earlier this morning. I find this a bit strange, as I know the option is there in kernel.org''s 2.6.16-rc2. The config option was somehow lost in 2.6.15

Just curious but how long has ESX support been in libvirt? Also I noticed this error when accessing one of my windows vms: error: internal error Expecting VMX entry 'scsi0.virtualDev' to be 'buslogic' or 'lsilogic' but found 'lsisas1068' Not sure whether this is an enhancement, defect, or not supported at this time. Thanks. -Jon

I''m using puppet-0.24.8-4.el5 on CentOS 5.4. My problem is yumrepo isn''t writing the "name=" field to the repository files which causes yum to complain with the error: Repository ''local-CentOS-5.4-x86_64'' is missing name in configuration, using id I get this behavior on all of my yumrepo definitions. One of them looks like this: yumrepo {

I got so sick of seing the check_region warnings from BusLogic.c I actually fixed it properly. Never use check region, reserve it before the probe with request region instead and check the error result; free region if setup fails. Should be functionally identical to the original except for fixing the potential race. Subject: Fix BusLogic to stop using check_region Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden

Hey folks, I'm at colocaiton in the middle of a big rebuild and it seems I have a faulty CD rom in the server that I need to put Centos on via Kickstart. So I cannot boot the Centos 5.4 net install CD. Is PXE kickstart easy to set up? I have a laptop here with DHCP already going. I google and a bunch of stuff comes up but it does not look simple. I'm just shooting htis out ther eon

Hi list, I'm fiddling with CentOS 5.5 and kickstarted installations via cobbler. In my environment I need to install using the HTTP protocol over a proxy. Does anyone know why the URL command doesn't support the --proxy method? I get an Anaconda error message stating that this method is not supported. Even though i found out about that method in documentation. Relevant section in my

On my x86_64, I pulled down the source for the 2.6.18-92.1.13 kernel and followed the wiki faithfully, but it will not build. I'm getting errors in the Buslogic driver: In file included from drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:56: drivers/scsi/BusLogic.h:241: error: redeclaration of enumerator 'false' include/linux/stddef.h:16: error: previous definition of 'false' was here

Hello all - (Please forgive me if I sent this msg twice, first one didn't seem to go through) I searched through the archives and did not see anything about this (along with google), but if I missed something please don't hesitate to send me some links. Basically I have hit a problem that I cannot figure out at this point and seemed to have ran out of ideas via Google or the

Hi everyone, I am trying to set up an automated CentOS installation system. My idea is to use PXE to boot the kernel/initrd and pass the kickstart options to the kernel from there. This works correctly until it boots up Linux. As soon as it does that it makes a DHCP request and, unsurprisingly, it gets the same one (same MAC) but it also gets the filename and next-server details. Then Anaconda

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

Hi, I am Ken.. I am trying to add dud(driver update disk) to centos5.6 using network method, I can successfully add dud to centos5.6 using http and ftp method, but fail when using nfs method. However those all three methods are officially supported in the centos5.6. As indicated in the centos5.6 website, we can see they not only support http, ftp, but also nfs.

Latest cleanups and junk from Zach's tree. All for -mm tree. Based off Jeremy's latest known applied patches. If the paravirt or VMI patches reject let me know; we are cleaning up tree and will redo. Otherwise, I have 4 fixes for i386; a warning fix in sysenter which is quite serious; some less important warning removals, and a bug with pgd locking during root creation. Next, I tidy up

Hi guys, I have my driverdisk created and the files are on a USB pendrive. How do I make the USB pendrive /dev/sdb and not /dev/sda??? I am wanting the installation to take place on sda and the driver disk to be sdb? My driver disk is a network driver disk, r8168. Jerry

Hi all, I have a kickstart file that works for /dev/sda. I now need to detect an HP server and use /dev/cciss instead of hard coded /dev/sda. How can I detect what the name of the device is and use /dev/cciss and not /dev/sda? Jerry

Hi, On CentOS 6.7 (all updates) kickstarting a CentOS 7 VM (in the way it always has worked for other versions, incl. Fedora 22 VM's), does not work for me. I use virt-install with a local copy of the "images/pxeboot" tree. It all stops with: ... [ OK ] Reached target Paths. [ OK ] Reached target Basic System. dracut-initqueue[551]: Warning: Could not boot.

Hello. A couple of years ago I installed two file-servers using kickstart.
