similar to: 6.5 minimal kickstart bug?

Hey folks, I've had a local mirror set up for some time now and it has always worked, but suddently stopped. I don't think the fact that it stopped work has anything to do with when I blew away that machine and changed it from Centos 5.3 to a Fedora Core 11 box. But I'm not sure how that could make any difference since it is just serving that stuff over the web. It still works

Hi, Does anyone know why an Anaconda Kickstart installation deploys more rpm packages than a manual "basic" installation? In both cases the following package groups were installed/used according to anaconda-ks.cfg in root home directory: @core, @server-policy, @workstation-policy

Here's what I'm currently doing in ks.cfg: %pre #!/bin/sh echo -n "Please enter blah: " read blah echo $blah > /tmp/ks-blah I know that "read blah" works fine, because after that I see the variable in the /tmp file. The problem is, echo doesn't seem to work at this stage. This pretty much kills the idea of an interactive %pre script. I was thinking to

Hey, I am trying to upgrade my kickstart usb key to 6.0 and I ran into a few issues. I boot with: ? append initrd=initrd.img ks=hd:sdb2:/ks.cfg repo=hd:sdb2:/centos and in the ks.cfg I have: ? harddrive --partition=sdb2 --dir=/centos and on sdb2 I have: ? sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso ? sdb2:/centos/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso It fails from the beginning unless I add /images

Hi All, I used to always do a minimal install with v4.4, and wget (and other tools) was included. With v5 if i untick *everything* in the installation (incl "base") so that i can install from 1 cd, wget is not included. I couldn't make sense of any of the xml or xml.gz files on the installation cd. (/dev/cdrom/repodata/*), although they do mention wget as 'default'

I'm currently testing a process very similar to that found here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey And would like to update that doc with my observations once confirmed. Preliminary notes (not all relevant to that specific WikiPage - suggestions for where to put the non-kickstart info? First boot partition on USB is FAT32 and uses GRUB to chainload to the second ext2

I have created a local repo for CentOS 6 x86_64. I use a machine at 192.168.1.14 for that and created a directory structure /var/www/html/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64 then there are these directories at the location. Packages repodata Both are populated with many files. In my kickstart file I have a line: #repo --name=Updates --baseurl=http://192.168.1.14/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64/ All seems

When I'm kickstarting a CentOS5 machine, there's a progress report that shows how many packages have been installed so far, how many left, how much time it has taken, how much longer to go, and estimate for the total install time. Under CentOS6, I only get a report about packages (completed: N of M). Is there any way to add the time information back on CentOS6? This is a text

Hi I have inherited some kickstarts that attempt to remove some packages that at some point its been deemed they are not required. I am migrating all this over to cobbler but trying to get to the bottom of this error that although the kickstart completes sshd cant start as the package nss is not installed. It fails with this Installing nss - 3.11.99.5-2.el5.centos.x86_64 error:

Hi I am looking for an example of a kickstart file for a simple, minimal server install. I don't need any graphical apps just ssh, httpd and development tools. It seems that even when I specify only the packages I want many other packages are installed making the install very large. Any links to guides or example kickstart files would be great. Thanks, Andrew Zahn

Ok, so some of this now works, but I'm still having problems. With the bootif option, the system now correctly configures and uses the same interface to get its kickstart file. However, when the system is done and boots up, the interfaces are still messed up. So this is what I have in the kickstart file: # On-Board Port 1 with public IP configuration network --noipv6 --onboot yes --bootproto

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 trying to add a kickstart file to my automatic installation and make it more automatic. However, when I comment out the append ks=... line in the example below, the computer boots properly. If I uncomment that line, then I get a kernel panic: VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 09:02 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root
