I tried the CentOS list for this but nobody seems to know. Since this may be related to mk-images which is part of Anaconda I thought I would try here... When using buildinstall and CentOS 5.2 to create my own CD minus a bunch of unneeded RPM's and plus a few of my custom RPM's I find that the install CD that gets build does not install an initrd which renders the system unbootable. I also notice that when I run buildinstall with the -debug option it says: unpacking /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/kernel-2.6.18-92.el5.x86_64.rpm.x86_64 Building initrd.img Module 3c501 not found in kernel rpm Module 3c503 not found in kernel rpm Module 3c505 not found in kernel rpm and so on for many kernel modules. I notice that the filename it says it is unpacking ends with .x86_64.rpm.x86_64. Is that normal? I google'd and found someone else saying theirs did the same thing. Could this be related to why I'm not ending up with an initrd being installed? And while I'm here let me run another one by you that the CentOS list couldn't answer... I have added a few custom RPM's to my CentOS 5.2 CD, dropped a kickstart.cfg file in the root of the CD, and now want to change the isolinux.cfg in the boot.iso so that it will automatically do a kickstart install when the CD boots up. I am using buildinstall to make the ISO. I edited the isolinux.cfg in /isolinux in my CentOS 5.2 distribution tree off of which I am building my ISO. But after buildinstall runs the isolinux.cfg is changed back! Where is it getting the original from? Where should I be changing it to get my modified isolinux.cfg into my cd? Just to get around the isolinux.cfg issue manually I tried booting and at the prompt I say: linux ks=cdrom:/kickstart.cfg But it says that it cannot find the kickstart.cfg file. Is it expecting it in the root of the boot.iso or of the CD? I put it in the root of the CD. I can mount the CD and see that it is there. I can't figure out how to put it in the root of the boot.iso (if it even needs to go there) because apparently that is getting remade by the buildinstall also and I'm not sure where it is getting the contents from. Here is the entire process I use for building and burning the ISO: /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --version 5 --product CentOS --comps /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/repodata/comps.xml --release MyCentOS-5 --prodpath CentOS /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64 mkisofs -R -J -T -r -l -d -allow-multidot -allow-leading-dots -no-bak -o /var/www/html/centos/5.2/isos/MyCentOS-5.2-x86_64.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/ cdrecord blank -fast -dev=/dev/sg1 -v -eject /var/www/html/centos/5.2/isos/MyCentOS-5.2-x86_64.iso Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
