Hi I have been trying to get puppet working with kickstart. I am trying to install Hadoop on the nodes. Installing puppet from kickstart work and when the machine restarts, certificates are pulled down and hadoop user is created and files are extracted. I want all the user creation etc to be done before the machine reboots so that I can set up init.d scripts to do a start of hadoop . So I

hello there, I wonder if you could help me: I am trying to install 50 diskless servers using PXE / kickstart, it all starts well, DHCP server issues a dynamic address, tftp issues the kickstart file, the client starts reading the KS file but at some point anaconda brings up an unhandled exception related to Python when reading Comps.xml?? What is really unsettling is the fact that if I plug

Greetings, all. I'm in need of a minimal ks.cfg file for the smallest possible install with yum. I've got the scripting for yum to install the apps I need, I just want to insure all the cruft is not on the system as well. Using the s-c-ks app, the smallest I have gotten is 600MB. This is for a server appliance vm that I need to deploy quickly and dynamically. Thanks Dnaiel

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

Just spent a little time poking around w/ p2v and am attaching the following pseudo-code for consideration. Note the patches aren't commit ready yet, just looking for thoughts - The first is a fix to get client image building process working on F17. It seems the version of ksflatten there didn't expand the nested %includes which was causing errors (also --interpreter image-minimizer

Is there an easy way to specify the proper device location for the kickstart configuration file if it is on a USB flash or USB floppy drive? Depending on the hard disk configuration they might by /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. On SuSE'autoyast instalattions, the system searches all available devices for an ``info'' configuration file. Does CentOS 5.x do something similar to find a

I made a file partition-ks.cfg and put it in our machine 192.168.5.17 under /var/www/html. When I install a new machine I just do a linux ks=http://192.168.5.17/partition-ks.cfg I have a couple questions though: 1) I have the following in it: clearpart --all part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part /var --fstype ext3 --size=10000 part / --fstype ext3 --size=10000

Hi, I was at the Puppet talk at Oscon and I would like to try using Puppet for PXE on RHEL machines and I was wondering if there are standard minimal Kickstart recipes from which Puppet can then take over. Thanks, Jason van Zyl jason at maven.org

Hey, someone just told me yesterday that I can give my machine an initial IP address, gateway, dns server, and netmask via command line like this: linux ks=http://www.mydomain.com/kick.ks ip=192.168.1.5 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1 dns=192.168.1.10 Is this true? Is the syntax wrong or right? If so, and I call my kick.ks file and it has install cdrom it'll pull the files

I am asking this here, that although a kickstart question, may have something to do with the Centos install? I took my Anaconda-ks.cfg from my system, turned it into a ks.cfg and did the install. Everything SEEMS ok, but why? First the partitioning information: ks.cfg supplied: clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part / --fstype ext3 --start=14

Good afternoon Support Team, I have discovered a disturbing error inside?anaconda-ks.cfg under the /root directory. Examination found the config file devoid of the string "buns". It's distressing, because I don't understand how my Anaconda can get anything done if it doesn't happen to have any buns. Please advise I need to know how to continue. Please feel free to contact me

Hi all, First time here, so please be gentle! :) I'm trying to configure a system that will pxeboot and retrieve a kickstart file from a server based on that host's macaddress as part of my Edison project[0] however I'm having issues getting the dns lookup to work and I'm hoping you can help! My pxelinux.cfg/default file is as follows: ======================= default linux

I'm having what appears at first glance to be a kickstart+anaconda issue on CentOS 7.4. As near as I can tell in the program.log in the anaconda environment, the partitioning instructions downloaded with the kickstart from cobbler appear to simply not be applied. Then /mnt/sysimage is not mounted, the logs are not copied to /mnt/sysimage/root and the installation stalls due to the anamon

Hi! I want to change the sshd port at install for centos7 but i am not sure if i am on the good track (and it is time expensive to make many try-outs).. So, i would be grateful if someone with experience can spot if i have problems with my planning.. (the actual purpose is that after installation i have access for my ansible provisioning) first make sure ssh is started services
