Steden and all, Sure, I'll find some time to document my steps in near future.

Hi, I tried to make kickstart environment a little bit more charming by firing up openssh daemon in the limited environment. I edited/checked a bunch of files and almost succeeded but still not. I can reach the machine to run a command like 'ssh -x <kickstartClient> <command>' and it does work for %pre and both chroot and non-chroot %post sections, in fact, you can run a

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

Hi, Just got Fedora FC1 vanilla 2.4.25kernel+libata8patch booting problems, FC1 complains that it can not automatically find&found partitions specified with "LABEL=" in /etc/fstab, and then falls me into repair mode. In the repair mode I can mount it manually without any problems. More interesting are: 1) I have several partitions specified with "LABEL=*" in

Kickstart fails for statically built custom booting kernel, although the custom kernel is built form the same version stock kernel source. My anaconda and kernel source are both of stock versions on Centos 5. At the kickstart 'F3' screen, the following error messages appear: Modules to insert tg3 ... ... ERROR: no network devices in choose network device! ERROR: no network drivers

Hi, Has any one tried to merge a custom kernel into vmlinuz/initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart? Or similar Linux distribution? I am rebuilding a custom kernel from stock kernel source to build some hardware modules into static form, so that the hardware detection sequence can be altered in a hard way. Quick examples are: tg3 drivers will be loaded before e1000, 3w-9xxx be loaded before

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,

I have been looking for environment variables for the %post section of kickstart. Namely if I start my kickstart command with "linux ks=http://serverip/ks.cfg" is there an environment variable that has serverip that I can use in the %post section? Also is there a way to pass a command line argument to the %post section when running kickstart command as the above

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

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/ch-redhat-config-kickstart.html To use Kickstart Configurator, you must be running the X Window System. To start Kickstart Configurator, select Applications (the main menu on the panel) => System Tools => Kickstart, or type the command /usr/sbin/system-config-kickstart. Can't find it. Now my system has:

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".

How does one use virt-install and kickstart ? I've seen others have success but I've had no joy thus far. BTW, my interactive virt-installs for centos6 guests work just fine AND I can do unattended kickstarts for vms by booting from centos6 install dvd and typing the kickstart commands from the boot: prompt. However, kickstart commands in --extra-args when used w/ virt-install just

Nope, it doesn't add it to the kernel boot parameters. That was the first thing I checked. As for the bootproto ... DUH. I didn't check that. :) That being solved, yeah it's not bringing up the add-in card now when it boots up.

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

And after picking this back up this morning .... still no dice. I have now blacklisted the one module that would enumerate the add-in ethernet port so that is no longer an issue during the kickstart process, however the following is now happening: - kickstart completes successfully using the machine's physical port 2 (or eth1) which is on a subnet with DHCP - when the system reboots, it

Currently, I kickstart my machines over http to install CentOS 4.4 and then in a script called from %post do a "yum -y update" to install all the latest updates. Is there a way to set up the kickstart server so that I can do this all in one step? In other words, is there a "supported" way to roll in all the updates into the kickstart server? In case it matters, I

I'd like to automate the upgrade from CentOS 4.6 to 5.1 as much as possible. Since upgrades per se are not really recommended, I'm planning to do a kickstart installation. However, I want to leave one of the existing partitions (/scratch) untouched during the installation. Here is my current layout (LogVol00 is swap so not shown in the df output below): # df -hl
