similar to: installing updates in post kickstart

Is there a process for finding status updates to open bugs within Centos? The particular bug I am talking about is 0002329 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2329. This was assigned on 01-20-2008 and, as far as I can tell, there's been no action other than it being acknowledged. I've also searched upstream with RHEL and FC and I cannot seem to find a bug report there though complaints

Mount CD ROM iso during kickstart postinstall CentOS 5.2 i386 I''m doing a xen virtual machine installation from a DVD iso image with a kickstart file to set network and run scripts and such in the postinstall section. During the installation the DVD iso is listed as device /tmp/cdrom and mounted on /mnt/source. Once the installation is done and the post install starts the /tmp/cdrom

Starting back in RHEL/Cent 5 I found that the only way to make sure your interface enumeration was consistent after install with what you had during install was to create a udev rules file using the mac addresses as the key. It is easy to run a short script in postinstall to create it based on how anaconda has seen them. In order for this to work on Cent 6 you have to set biosdevname=0

Dear All I have been working on a custom ISO with kickstart and a couple of post installation scripts and would like to have the script run before the login prompt. The custom ISO works; however, the scripts fails because some of the services, e.g. mariadb does not start before the server installation has been completed and rebooted; therefore, I have been putting the scripts in /etc/profile.d/

Hey folks! I'm doing some %pre work for the first time in a very long time, and have been at this all day so far and still don't have anything sorted out properly. First I tried just doing some simple bash stuff like this %pre #!/bin/bash # stuff I reduced "stuff" down to basically a simple "select" statement to echo and read input, just for the sake of debugging.

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

Here is my script for post install if you want to try it. In order for the shuffling to not occur you do need to create the udev rules file somehow. I am not sure how mangled this will be in email but it is worth a try. It should run OK with nothing else. I have a better version in the works but the enhancements are mainly useful for Fedora 19-21. I did forget to say I also block

Over the last couple of weeks, additional software was installed using the package manager. I would like to get a custom kickstart file created for our system. For this, I would like to get complete list of software installed so they may be add to the kickstart file package selection. Can anyone tell me if this can be done? If it can, please give me instructions? Finally, where on

Okay, this is really simple but because Google has deteriorated in quality over time, it's getting really hard to find straight forward answers. Very simple; when does the %POST section of the Kickstart file kick in during the install process? Before or after the first reboot? Hopefully this gets picked up easy by the spiders... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Define out of order in this case just so I know for sure what you mean. What my solution does, or at least does reliably in my case, is make sure the interfaces are in the same order once installed as the install kernel saw them. It won't re-order them to be sequential based on bus, mac or driver. I am working on that but it will also include naming the devices based on the module

Is there a way in the %post section of install to continue to have the VT3 logging but also log that to a file. Somehow using tee perhaps? I have found --log=/tmp/post-install.log but then that shows nothing on VT3. I would like to have both if possible. Log to VT and a file. THanks, Jerry

Hi All, I'm trying to migrate from Fedora Core 4 to a more stable linux deployment of Centos 4.3. I'm using kickstart to do an automated installation of minimal packages and then doing configuration in the %post section. I do this by calling serveral custom system-config-local-* scripts that I have written along with system-config-network-tui (aka netconfig). The problem that I am

I am trying to a install Centos 5.1 32-bit Xen HVM DomU onto a Centos 5.1 64bit DomU with the default xen installed and the kickstart hangs at random points during the install process. Sometimes retrieving the image, sometimes formatting the filesystem, sometimes installing the packages,etc. I tried upgrading to xen 3.2 and encounter the same problem before rebuilding back to stock Centos 5.1

Hi All, I am attempting to create a custom USB drive for kickstart install.
