Subject: Anaconda kickstart and ilo3 virtual drive redirection

Hi,

I am attempting a kickstart install of CentOS 6 using media that is mounted via HP's ilo virtual drive redirection. The kickstart file is on the cdrom.

When mounted this way (virtual drive redirection) I always get a dialog box that appears saying it can't find the kickstart file on the cd. It then asks me to specify again where the kickstart file is. Without changing anything I hit ok and it finds the kickstart file on the cdrom the second try. 

This is happening because the virtual drive is not quite ready yet when the getDevices(DEVICE_CDROM) function is run within kickstartFromCD() which is a part of the cdinstall.c file. If I add a sleep(5) right in front of the call to getDevices(DEVICE_CDROM) then the install is 100% non-interactive.


Can we work on getting a fix to this into anaconda? sleep(5) works, but might not be the best solution.


Thank you for any help!

Dusty Mabe
