Hi I have created a KS cdrom with a boot image , containing a compressed initrd.img, this in turn contains my ks.cfg file. syslinux.cfg in the boot.img contains default kickstart prompt 0 label kickstart kernel vmlinuz append ks=file:kickstart/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img The CD is bootable ok , but appears to be ignoring my ks.cfg file as it goes directly to asking for a language type. Do I have to have an absolute path to the ks.cfg file ? I dont understand what I am doing wrong, any help would be appreciated. initrd when uncompressed and mouted as a loopback looks like this; lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Apr 9 05:36 bin -> sbin drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 1024 Apr 9 05:36 dev drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 1024 Apr 9 05:36 etc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 28 10:38 kickstart lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 9 05:36 linuxrc -> /sbin/init drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Apr 9 05:36 lost+found drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 Apr 9 05:36 modules drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 Apr 9 05:36 proc drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 Apr 9 05:36 sbin drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 Apr 9 05:36 tmp drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 1024 Apr 9 05:36 var and the kickstart directory; -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 595 Aug 28 10:38 ks.cfg ks.cfg like this (its just a test) ; lang en_US network --bootproto static --ip 134.171.4.135 --gateway 134.171.4.199 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --nameserver 134.171.56.56 cdrom keyboard us zerombr yes clearpart --linux part /boot --size 100 part swap --size 1024 part / --grow install firewall --disabled mouse msintellips/2 timezone --utc Europe/Berlin auth --useshadow rootpw --iscrypted NFEPJN06RS6Ds skipx lilo --location mbr reboot # Here starts the package list %packages @ Base # Here starts the post configuration script %post -- Stephen Johnston Phone: +49 89 32006563 NGAST Advanced Project Fax : +49 89 32006380 European Southern Observatory Karl-Schwarzschild-Strasse 2 D-85748 Garching bei Muenchen http://www.eso.org/~sjohnsto
