Hi,

I simply tried to boot on the fedora 15 alpha kernel from there :
http://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/15-Alpha/Fedora/i386/os/images/pxeboot/
and I'm getting this error :

Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-PAE
initrd /boot/initrd-PAE.img

I just wondered where it does come from ?
Any idea ?

So if we put aside how the kickstart would be generated, what would be the starting point in all of this ?

I was working with Centos55 when I made it to the partitioning phase (and I don't really know why it went wrong), but I couldn't even get the F14 kernel to load.

In other words :

- Which fedora kernel / initrd combination should I use in my grub.conf ?
- Should any of those two be altered in any way ?

I'm also willing to put some time in it if I may be useful... but like I said I'm no expert.

Maybe I'm missing something:  why would you ever want an instance to
kickstart at boot time?  You should create an image for every role you
care about and then boot the appropriate one for every instance you
need.

roles change, updates happen frequently, and I'd rather a machine spin up with the latest packages.  I've always found that updating a pre-built machine is slower, sometimes substantially so, than just building a fresh image with the newest rpms.

That said, some roles can (and often should) be fairly rigid and slow to be updated.  But there's not much less of a need for flexible, dynamic builds in the cloud than there is in a local server room; do you build all new local servers based on a pre-built image that you just replicate?  Would seem to negate the purpose of a kickstart server ;)
