Greetings. We're trying to do a kickstart installation of SL 3.0.1 via PXE, and we seem to be having trouble getting the installer to find the ks.cfg file. The basic DHCP/TFTP stuff seems to be working, but when the installer starts, it stops to ask what language to use, etc., rather than just cruising through the installation. Here's the file that's supposed to trigger the kickstart process: [root@ucd-host pxelinux.cfg]# cat netboot-ks.SL.3.0.1 default linux label linux kernel vmlinuz-SL-3.0.1 append ksdevice=eth0 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd-SL-3.0.1.img network ks=nfs:169.237.mm.nn:/SL/3.0.1/ The crucial point is that we've stuck the ks.cfg file in with the rest of the SL distribution, and that directory is certainly exported via NFS (otherwise we wouldn't get to the point where the installer runs, ask for language, etc.). We've had similar problems in the past with some versions of Redhat linux. The workaround that we found was to do a loopback mount of the initrd file, stuff the ks.cfg file in the appropriate directory, then umount. I.e., we stuffed the ks.cfg file into the initrd. This isn't terribly taxing once one has stumbled onto the technique, but it's pretty ugly. I was hoping that there would be a saner method. Do you folks have any words of wisdom about this? Thanks. - Mike -- Michael Hannon mailto:[log in to unmask] Dept. of Physics 530.752.4966 University of California 530.752.4717 FAX Davis, CA 95616-8677
