Here's the steps I took to reinstall the serverbeach servers: 0. make sure the hosts ip is allowed to access the repos on infrastructure. and make sure puppet allows the host to connect to its fileserver - in the fileserver.conf file in cvs 1. login to existing system as root 2. run: urlgrabber \ http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/rhel/RHEL5-x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz \ /boot/vmlinuz-install urlgrabber \ http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/rhel/RHEL5-x86_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img \ /boot/initrd-install.img 3. run this command +/- ip address changes and path changes for the kickstart config grubby --add-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-install \ --args="ks=http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/hidden/sb1.ks lang= \ devfs=nomount ksdevice=link selinux=0 ip=64.34.163.94 \ gateway=64.34.163.65 netmask=255.255.255.192 \ dns=64.34.160.92,64.34.160.76" --title="install el5" \ --initrd=/boot/initrd-install.img 4. run 'grub' and type: savedefault --default=0 --once quit 5. reboot the system. Watch it via ping, when it starts pinging again after the install run: vncview hostip:1 type in the vnc password - in this case 'vncinstall' That's it. -sv _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
