Kickstart Problem with Red Hat 7.0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Goal:

To perform an NFS Kickstart using DHCP.  More specifically, to
only use a network capable kernel to boot the target install machine
and to grab the ks.cfg and Linux installation tree from a server.

Setup:

o I created a boot disk using bootnet.img
o At the boot prompt, I am typing: linux ks
o I can see that it is grabing the Kickstart file from the server (so
at this point, the DHCP is working)
o I can also see that it is mounting the Linux installation tree from
the server
o Then, I am getting the following messages:

On the F1 screen:

failed to read /modules/module-info
install exited abnormally
sending termination signals...done
sending kill signals...done
disabling swap...
unmounting filesystems...
/mnt/source
/tmp/nfskd
/dev/ptsxt
/proc
you may safely reboot your system

On the F3 screen:

getting ready to spawn shell now
cannot open shell - /bin/sh doesn't exist

It almost sounds like the chroot'ed environment is not being set
properly when the ramdisk (initrd.img) is being mounted.  Just a
guess.

Any suggestions??? 

Thanks,
