kickstart - dont wipe data
Hi,
I am struggling with kickstart.
What I want to achieve is a reinstall, but some data partitions should
survive the install, i.e. they should not be formatted.
With a single disk this works, here is the relevant part from the
kickstart file (I shortened the name of the volume group)
...
zerombr
clearpart --none --initlabel
part /boot --fstype="xfs" --label=boot --onpart=vda1

Kickstart issue with UEFi
Hi,
I have a test system that booted fine using "Legacy Bios? mode and using the following Kickstart snippet configured the disks correctly:-
# Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
# Disk partitioning information
part raid.01 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sda --size=500

kickstart
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

Kickstart install via network, nonexistant disk sda
Hello all,
I have 3 Supermicro 1u servers, each with dual 250gb SATA drives.
I have a server with CentOS 5 64bit setup for pxebooting and kickstart
installs.
I have a kickstart install file that doesn't specify the disks
specifically. It works like a champ, and the operating system installs and
completes.
I have a kickstart install file that specifies the disk devices (sda,

questions on kickstart
I have 2 questions dealing with 2 different kickstart files.
1) my kickstart sections for RAID disk setup and kickstart reports it
cannot find sda. Why is that. sda is there and works.

Kickstart issue: 'dialog' doesn't work in %post, CentOS 5.5
Hi, all.
I'm trying to customize a CentOS installation cd, but got trouble with kickstart.
I want to use dialog[1] for command line based user interface, but it can't display correctly in kickstart with CentOS 5.5. Same ks file works with CentOS 5.3 (both i386 and x86_64).
What's the different between CentOS 5.3/5.5? I can't find it in release notes.
And how can i fix it?
Thanks

kickstart raid disk partitioning
Hello.
A couple of years ago I installed two file-servers
using kickstart. The server has two 1TB sata disks
with two software raid1 partitions as follows:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md1 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0]
933448704 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda2[2](F)
40957568 blocks [2/1] [_U]
Now the drives are starting to be failing and next week

Kickstart Questions
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

kickstart + domU for static IP
I've set up a local webserver to store kickstart files for domUs. All
parameters are respected apart from the network settings. DomU always
gets DHCP. Can any one help to unwrap this one? Does one add hostname,
ip, netmask and gateway values to the /etc/xen/blah.cfg file?

CentOS 6.2 KS/Installer
I'm using the kickstart file we developed for v5 on 6.2 in VM (kvm/qemu
running on a CentOS 5.6),
but it fails:
Error partitioning. Could not allocate requested partitions: not
enough free space on disks.
There's nothing wrong with the disk. Both fdisk and parted works fine,
I can view, partition
and write a partition table and the disk is 10.5GB.

kickstart partitioning and cylinder boundary
As I understand anaconda uses parted to partition (starting from
centos 6), using this as example (kickstart configuration file):
clearpart --all --drives=sda --initlabel
part /boot --asprimary --size=200 --fstype=ext2 --ondisk=sda
part swap --asprimary --size=16384 --fstype=swap --ondisk=sda
part / --asprimary --size=512000 --fstype=ext4 --ondisk=sda
part /scratch --asprimary --size=1 --grow

Problem creating volgroups with kickstart installations (on xen)
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".

[PATCH] builder: Rearrange how template-building scripts work.
Create a new directory (builder/template). Integrate all of the
scripts into a single program, so that templates are generated more
consistently.
This also changes how the index file is generated. The script now
generates the index file fragment and saves it under version control,
and then generates the final index file by concatenating these.
(Previously the index was written by hand which was

Cannot %include in CentOS 5.5 kickstart
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

CentOS 7 kickstart question
Dear Experts,
Could somebody point to kicstart HOWTO specific for CentOS 7?
On CentOS 7 I somehow am always given human intervention questions about
drive which defeats unattended ks install.
<rant ??>
I'm doing kickstart installations for quite some time, normally I was just
installing system when new release comes, and am basing kickstart file on
anaconda-ks.cfg - with some
