Hello, Does anyone have a guide for setting up an nfs server for unattended deployment of centos5? Basically what i want to do is boot a system from CD media, pass a boot parameter nfs, and ks= options then walk away, the box goes out to the nfs server, finds the kickstart file, reads, and does it. I've got several machines and i'd rather not do manual installs. Thanks. Dave.

Hello, I don't know how off the wall this question will be, but first let me say that I've found your buildpkg.sh script very useful in creating an OpenSSH package for use on my Solaris systems. Currently I'm trying to set up a fully automated JumpStart system at my workplace, and I'm realizing that the 'postinstall' script (and possibly some of the other install scripts)

Is there a documented approach somewhere for performing an unattended ''bare metal'' install of Xen? The Xen Users'' Manual describes an installation flow that requires a host OS on the target machine. This host OS is used for installation of Xen, but Xen does not execute "on top of" this OS (rather Xen executes directly "on top of" the hardware

hi! I?m working on a projekt ( unattended.sourceforge.net ) This is using a linuxboot.iso My problem is the following: I opened up the iso with winiso, extrcat the isolinux.cfg, edited it with vi for windows as follows: # isolinux/pxelinux configuration file default unattended label unattended kernel bzImage # Add options (z_user=..., z_path=..., etc.) to this line. append

I'm trying to use this universal DOS TCP/IP boot disk available here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ It requires an MS-DOS formatted disk created by Windows XP. It works great as a floppy but doesn't boot at all with memdisk. The problem can be simplified down to just the XP boot disk. If you make an MS-DOS startup disk with XP on a floppy, dd the floppy to an image

I've got a machine running CentOS 3.5 with an Intel D865GBF motherboard and I've been having an occasional "event" where disk-intensive activity (such as running "yum check-update" or starting up OpenOffice) causes the load average to spike and X11 to become unresponsive (as in, the pointer won't even track the mouse) for a few seconds. The machine always recovers

Hi, Apologies in advance if this is rather long winded ... I have a Windows 2000 DHCP/FTP/TFTP server, serving up a linux-based diags package using PXELinux. Everything is working fine, just like I'd expect. I also have some WinImage images of DOS floppy disks that I'd also like to serve via PXE. So I made up some simple menus using menu.c32 to serve both the floppy image and the

Hi friends, I am new to this list and have some questions about PXE Booting, because its not working well. My Situation: I was preparing my Server like described on http://unattended.sourceforge.net And everything was working well, this means I was able to install Windows XP via PXE onto my clients. But now, I thought, It would be really a great Idea to make my clients able to

Hi folks, I'm finally tired of dealing with floppy disks to control our remote installs and thought that PXELINUX sound like a great way to go. However, I've got multiple hurdles and I'd like some advice before I get myself dug in too deep... We currently have Solaris Jumpstart and Windows RIS running in the department and now we would like to intermix Linux PXELINUX booting. Any

Hi, We have a samba 4.2.2 setup compiled from source, single DC, internal DNS. We've been using this samba setup in production since version 4.0.3. All clients are Windows 7-x64. Since we upgraded to samba 4.2.0 back in march 2015, we are not able to join client machines to the domain using our sysprep unattended image, but joining machines via the manual procedure using the Windows GUI

So I have a few questions. I have already made the base part of making a windows TFTPD running with memedisk. So that part works, but what I was wondering, if there is a way to some how add an option to the config file. What I have is something like this: label winstall kernel unattended/memdisk append initrd=unattended/winstall.imz That all works great, However, for each image, I have

hi there. I'm trying to boot several OSes floppy images from a cdrom via memdisk. Actually, Linux and FreeBSD boots fine, but, while i'm using the same method, I couldn't get into booting netbsd nor openbsd. The boot process seems to hang up, in those two cases, when the second stage native bootloader try to load the kernel (i'm not absolutely sure about this). The native first

Does anyone know how to automate a CD Centos 5.7 build.? 1) new bare bones workstation ( PXE enabled) 2) Boot from CD to the boot prompt 3) At the boot: linux ks=http://x.x.x.x/ks/cfg/org/1/label/Centos5.7 The workstation is able to connect to the server and the kick-start works great.!

I tried to use memdisk 2.06 to boot a floppy image on my notebook which doesn't have a floppy drive. The boot failed, because the bootstrap code tried to reset the floppy drive (int13, ah=00). Memdisk passes reset calls on to the original int13 handler, which returns failure, because there is no floppy drive to reset (#1). Also i noted that some boot records (notably some created by

Some of our largest systems run Windows because it supports engineering applications that we use regularly.? These applications have unattended runs that often take between ten and fifteen hours to complete.? We have taken the recommendation of the application supplier and equipped these Windows machines with UPS protection for 30 minutes at full load. The UPSs are Ethernet connected.? A support
