Hi List, I've attempted to follow the instructions for setting up Cobbler to support kickstarting virtual (xen) installs. I'm invoking the kickstart via the "ks" alias, defined as follows: alias ks='koan --virt --profile=centos5virt --server=172.16.16.1' Here's a look at the setup: [root@mosxato ~]# cobbler list distro centos5-i386 distro centos5-i386-xen profile centos5virt system default repo centos4-i386 repo centos5-i386 [root@mosxato ~]# ip addr show dev eth0 7: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue link/ether 00:18:8b:f9:d9:23 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.10.1.137/24 brd 10.10.1.255 scope global eth0 inet 172.16.16.1/24 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::218:8bff:fef9:d923/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever [root@mosxato ~]# cat /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template # ****************************************************************** # Cobbler managed dhcpd.conf file # # generated from cobbler dhcp.conf template ($date) # # ****************************************************************** ddns-update-style interim; allow booting; allow bootp; ignore client-updates; set vendorclass = option vendor-class-identifier; subnet 192.168.122.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {} subnet 172.16.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 172.16.16.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; range dynamic-bootp 172.16.16.128 172.16.16.254; filename "/pxelinux.0"; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 43200; next-server $next_server; } $insert_cobbler_system_definitions My kickstarts are hanging here: md: md driver 0.90.3 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: bitmap version 4.39 TCP bic registered Initializing IPsec netlink socket NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 Using IPI No-Shortcut mode XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/51712 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0 Freeing unused kernel memory: 168k freed Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 360k Can anyone see what I have done wrong? The only part I'm not too sure about is the 172.16.x.x network I've setup via iproute2. It seems right but its been a while. I just need a rfc1918 address space to create the VMs. Thanks. -D _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
