I have had it sucessfully perform an automated kickstart exactly once. Deleting the Xen config file and disk image and changing nothing else, and using exactly the same koan command line, I can not get it to perform an automated install. Every time I run it, it starts prompting me for input. Something here is broken. I wonder if I am running into a timing issue where the vif is not up yet, so it can't find the kickstart file... Any other thoughts? Is there anyway to add more debugging output to this process? Is anyone sucessfully using Koan and Cobbler to kickstart Xen guests? -- Timothy W.
