Hi, all --
I'm back again. I still have problems trying to kickstart from the hard
drive instead of from a floppy. Let's see if I can summarize what I've
done so far...
Following Forrest's instructions, I opened up initrd.img and copied in
my ks.cfg file and zipped it back up again. I copied that, my bootnet
vmlinuz kernel, and the syslinux.cfg file over into /boot. My lilo.conf
entry looks like
image=/boot/vmlinuz-kickstart
label=kick
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-kickstart
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
and my syslinux file looks like
default kick
label kick
kernel vmlinuz-kickstart
append ks=file:/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img-kickstart.gz console=ttyS0,9600n8
but it doesn't really make sense to me how syslinux comes into play or
how the system knows to look to the ks.cfg file.
It doesn't seem to make sense to the system, either, because when I boot
and select "kick" (or, more typically, run "lilo -R kick ; reboot") it
gets part way thru the boot and hangs.
More details available if I'm on the right track or they're needed for
clarification, but I get the feeling I'm doing it wrong...
TIA & HAND
:-D
