Has anyone managed to create an encrypted disk partition with CentOS 8 kickstart? 1 reqpart --add-boot 2 part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --ondrive=sda 3 part pv.1 --size=1 --grow --ondrive=sda --encrypted --pashphrase="bla" 4 volgroup vol0 pv.100000 5 logvol / --vgname=vg_00 --name=lv_root --size=102400 --fstype=ext4 ... No matter what I specify in line 3, the installer bombs out.

Is the kickstart repo directive broken under CentOS 7? Every attempt with a repo directive in the kickstart file fails during the software selection step. Removing the repo directives and the packages from those repos under %packages makes it work. On console 2, I have verified that the (NFS) repos specified in the kickstart file are mounted and that the repo metadata has been copied over to

Is it not possible to use an nfs based repo for kickstart under CentOS 7.5? E.g. repo --name=epel --baseurl=file://server/path/to/local/copy/of/epel With trial and error I figured out that this is the correct syntax to use for an nfs-based repo. But packages from this repo in the %packages section are not found. You have specificed that the package 'bla' should be installed. This

Hi all, I received this e-mail from Christer regarding dead links in the CentOS 8.1911 release notes. Can the maintainer of the CentOS 8 release notes determine what the best course of action is??

All, I'm having an issue with my menu.c32. I created a menu and it appears correctly, but once I get to my choice, it won't select it and begin the install.

Hi All: Using the following line, I am trying to install Scientific Linux (a RHEL derivative like CentOS), but the installer never sees my kickstart file : virt-install -n test-dev1 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2 --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/root \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/swap \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/nfs \ --accelerate

With the AppStream repo, this no longer works, the anaconda installer will complain that at least one package has an incorrect checksum, and

Are there still a lot of rough edges in this area? There are some things I simply can't get to work. This is about kickstart installations. Finding the right stuff for the %packages sections is lucky dip at best. The RHEL manual points to the comps file, really? This file isn't meant to be parsed by humans. Specifying an environment - the example "Infrastructure Server"

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

Hello, I have a simple shell script that I use to generate an iso installer depending on the release version that I want. The thing is that I extract isolinux and menu.c32 from the syslinux rpm of the latest redhat release. The reason I am doing it this way is because of the This is what does it: copymenu32() { # $ cat /local/kickstart/templates/os-updates.txt # RedHat-5.8|20120425

Hi, all. I use this kickstart file to install CentOS 5.2 (both i386 and x86_64), but i can't config NICs and hostname during installation, what's wrong with it?

I am trying to use a kickstart to install CentOS 8.2 on a server with a pair of drives with Linux software RAID 1. The install completes, but the resulting system will not boot - I get "Booting from Hard drive C:" from the BIOS (Dell in legacy BIOS mode, not UEFI) and it stops. If I then start the installer in rescue mode and run grub2-install on the two drives, it boots okay. If I
