Hi, could someone on this list please help me with the following problem. My objective is to deploy Fedora using the PXE boot + KS method in a fully-automated manner. IOW, I do not want Anaconda to ask any questions. Now, I did manage to make it work, but I use a work-around which I would like to get rid of. So, the target machine is a server with multiple NICs. Only one network interface is involved into the installation process, and I want anaconda to completely ignore other interfaces. The problem is: anaconda keeps asking questions about network configuration: ================================================================================ 3) [x] Software selection ...pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/releas (Custom software selected) es/20/Fedora/x86_64/os/) 5) [!] Network configuration 4) [x] Installation Destination (Connecting...) (Warning checking storage confi 7) [x] User creation guration) (No user will be created) 6) [x] Root password (Password is set.) Please make your choice from above ['q' to quit | 'c' to continue | 'r' to refresh]: ================================================================================ So anaconda wants me to help it configuring the network. And the funny thing is that anaconda already knows all the information it needs. I can see it when I press 'c': ================================================================================ Network configuration Wired (enp0s25) connected IPv4 Address: 192.168.100.18 Netmask: 255.255.255.252 Gateway: 192.168.100.17 DNS: 192.168.100.17 Hostname: xyz 1) Set hostname 2) Configure device enp0s25 Please make your choice from above ['q' to quit | 'c' to continue | 'r' to refresh]: r ================================================================================ How do I make anaconda to just stop asking me and continue? Now, here is the WORKING configuration - anaconda does not ask anything with this 1. pxelinux.cfg kernel /path/kernel append initrd=/path/initramfs.img ifname=netif:00:1e:67:ac:44:f5 ip=netif:dhcp inst.ks=http://path/ks.cfg inst.sshd updates=http://path/upgrade.img nogeoloc nomodeset 2. KS network --device=netif --bootproto=static --ip=192.168.100.18 --netmask=255.255.255.252 --gateway=192.168.100.17 --nameserver 192.168.100.17 --hostname=myhost No questions asked, all works as expected. But this is far not ideal because: 1. I do not want to specify mac address in pxelinux.cfg, because I want to have the same config file for many hosts with different MACs 2. I do not want to specify IP addresses in KS file for the same reasons. Besides, DHCP works. How do I make better? I googled a lot, found various hints about using all kinds of ksdvice=bootif IPAPPEND 2 - no help. Keeps asking the question. And I tried really many combinations. What I want is to make Anaconda just use the same interface and network settings as were configured by the PXE boot process, and stop asking questions. Just as an example, I tried something like this with no success: 1. pxelinux.cfg kernel /path/kernel append initrd=/path/initramfs.img ksdevice=bootif inst.ks=http://path/ks.cfg inst.sshd updates=http://path/upgrade.img nogeoloc nomodeset 2. KS network --device=bootif --bootproto=dhcp --hostname=myhost (also tried to remove --bootproto, and --device, no success) Could anyone in this list please help me with this problem?
