I think I am going about this all wrong. It looks like the CD doesn't get eject by anaconda until the %post section is complete finish. However, it may dismount the CD before %post begin. Here is a copy of my %post section. I try to mount the CD from both chroot and non-chroot environment with not success (but the floppy mount fine!) What am I miss? %post /usr/sbin/useradd test chfn -f 'Test User' test /usr/sbin/usermod -p '$1$þAìÑ0Üòq$nUstYoiwgaCXoQxre7cI1.' test cd /mnt mkdir cdrom2 mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom2 cp /mnt/cdrom2/ks.cfg /mnt/sysimage/root/ umount /dev/cdrom2
You should just use /root in the %post section, not /mnt/sysimage/root.
%post --nochroot cd /mnt mkdir floppy mkdir cdrom mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/source cp /mnt/floppy/splash.lss /mnt/sysimage/root/ cp /mnt/source/EULA /mnt/sysimage/root/ Here is the one of the console output * Running kickstart %post scripts(s) Changing finger information for test.

From the console, take a look at /dev (`ls -l /dev`) in the non-chroot environment (both during and after %post). This may give you a clue. Most likely, the /dev/cdrom link doesn't exist. Instead use /dev/hdc, /dev/scd0, etc., depending on your CD-ROM type and location.
