I apologize if I made a hasty statement about the howtos not working. I was not able to get it to work on RH7.2 and Redhat Advanced Server. It would be very useful if the howtos mentioned the Redhat bug if people aleady know about it. Neither the install logs nor the system logs seem to suggest anything is wrong, the installer does read the ks file, but then does not work as expected. -Depankar -----Original Message----- From: Brett Schwarz [mailto:brett_schwarz@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thu 3/20/2003 9:44 PM To: anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: Re: Redhat CD with customized kernel using kickstart On Thu, 2003-03-20 at 09:20, Depankar Neogi wrote: > Hello all: > I am trying to build a bootable CD which would have a customized kernel > on it and install the OS using RH kickstart. > I am using Red Hat Advanced Server (a variant of RH7.2). > > I have been able to successfully create a single Redhat Advanced Server > bootable CD with my own kickstart configuration following the direction > from "http://256.com/gray/docs/rh_boot/";.

It certainly worked for me. Note that there is a bug in previous versions of RH (before 8.0), where the installer would not read the kickstart file correctly off of the CD. Is this perhaps what you are having problems with? --brett _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
